B E G I N N I N G & V E R Y E ASY
Armory—Randall D. Standridge. A bombastic
work for young band inspired by video game
music. It alternates between minor and Phrygian
modes to create a dark and sinister soundscape.
The use of aggressive articulations and brake
drum give the work an industrial and militaristic
feel. Safe performances are NOT recommended.
Suit up. Grab your weapon. Go to war!

Blackbeard—Randall Standridge. Sail the
high seas in this exciting work for beginning
band! Written to sound much more mature than
a beginning work, this exciting adventure in 3/4
time only uses seven different rhythms and a
six-note range to create an achievable challenge
to spur the growth of your young mateys! Pirate
chants and bombastic percussion, as well as
introductions to first/second endings and D.C.
al Coda, make this a work that your developing
musicians are sure to love! Optional clarinet and
saxophone parts that double the horn part add to
the flexibility. Rated ARRGH!

Colliding Visions—Brian Balmages. A
beautiful melody and lovely suspensions open this
well-written work. Playful themes then set the tone
for a bright allegro section. The two styles collide
as the allegro abruptly ends and the opening
theme returns, then fades to a whisper.

Air on a Joyful Heart—Quincy Hilliard.
The Ash Grove is one of the most well-known and widely adapted of
all of the historic Welsh folk songs. This setting for developing concert
band opens with a clarinet cadenza that may be played as written or
may become an ad-lib solo. The lovely melody is then taken through rich
development and restatements that work their way from section to section
while exploring various tempo, meter, and texture changes. A work rich in
musical and educational value.

An American in Paris—George Gershwin/arr. Charles Booker.
Inspired by the time that Gershwin spent in Paris, this jazz-influenced
symphonic poem (or tone poem) evokes the sights and energy of the
postwar French capital during the Années folles, the "crazy times" of
the 1920s. Originally set for the standard instruments of the symphony
orchestra plus celesta, saxophones, and automobile horns, this setting
for symphonic band has been skillfully arranged and orchestrated to
capture the original Gershwin creation and make it performable by today's
symphonic bands.
