H Gaelic Rhapsodyarr. Elliot Del Borgo. Rather
typical of Elliot Del Borgo's published works this is
a fairly straightforward, albeit quite nice, sensitive
setting of Londonderry Air; The Galway Pipers; The
Irish Washerwoman and The Minstrel Boy, with
some of the arranger's more typical meter changes
and "flashy" woodwind passages appearing later in
the work.

orchestrated medley of some of Italy's most well-
known and beloved songs and arias. Included are:
Vesti La Giubba from Pagliacci; Funiculi, Funicula;
Come Back To Sorrento; La Donna e Mobile;
Wedding Tarantella and O Sole Mio. Take your
audience on a festive tour of sunny Italy! Belissimo!!!

l Korean Folksongs from Jeju IslandFrank
Ticheli. These folksongs date back hundreds
of years and this setting preserves the bright,
upbeat spirit of the original melodies. Three
movements represent a different folk tune:
Movement 1 "County Song" (Iyahong); Movement
2 "The Forest Nymph and Woodcutter" (Kyehwa)
and Movement 3 "Celebration on Halla Mountain"
(Nuhyoung Nahyoung).

l La Comparsa (from "Danzas Afro-Cubanos"
Suite)Ernesto Lecuona/arr. Ben Walker. La
Comparsa is a carnival procession in the Cuban
style, beginning quite softly as if the procession were
approaching from a distance. The piece culminates
as the procession passes directly in front of the
listener and then fades as it moves on its way. Your
percussionists will have fun with this one!

Mountain ThymeSamuel R. Hazo. Written
as a musical memorial, this beautifully emotional
setting is a reworking of the traditional folk song The
Braes of Baquhidder, also known as Wild Mountain
Thyme, by Scottish writer Robert Tannahill. With a
varied tapestry of colors, textures and dynamics,
this stunning musical work takes full advantage of
the depth and power of the modern wind band.

The Rakes of Mallow (from the "Irish Suite")
Leroy Anderson. Originally this was the third
movement of the "Irish Suite" for orchestra and
was rescored for concert band by the composer.
This marvelous setting of the Irish folksong is a
programming gem, suitable for concerts, festivals,
pop concerts and an obvious must for St. Patrick's
Day celebrations. Vibrant and full of life, it is a true
reflection of this gifted composer's creative talent.

Songs of Old KentuckyBrant Karrick. Exhibit
the proud heritage of American folk music with this
setting of tunes from the Cumberland Mountain
region. From traditional ballads to knee-slapping
fun songs, you'll find them all in this well-written
presentation of John Riley, The Lonesome Scenes
of Winter, Sourwood Mountain, Frog Went
A-Courtin' and Loving Hannah.

The Wearing of the Green (from the "Irish
Suite")Leroy Anderson/arr. Wagner. This
wonderful setting was not a part of the original "Irish
Suite" for orchestra but was added later. Unlike
the original four movements, it was not rescored
for band until now and was well worth the wait!
A rollicking dialog between woodwind and brass
sections, it's an excellent addition to concert band
repertoire. Whether used for concerts, festivals, pop
concerts or St. Patrick Day celebrations, it's a sheer
delight to listen to or perform.

Concert Marches
Beginning Band
H American Spirit Marcharr. John O'Reilly.
What can your beginning band perform when
they've learned only six notes and can't play eighth
notes yet? American Spirit March! Easy rhythms,
an easy key signature and a foot-tapping tempo
make it easy to introduce band music to your
earliest beginners. Songs included are: The Star
Spangled Banner; America The Beautiful; Yankee
Doodle; America and You're A Grand Old Flag.
An extremely functional piece!

l Playground ParadeJoseph Compello. Now
the youngest of bands can be introduced to the
experience of performing a standard march. Only
the first five notes of the B-flat scale are used in
creating this carefully crafted work. It's a terrific
selection with rhythms, dynamics and articulations
that are all within beginning band capabilities.

n Sousa's CadetsJohn Philip Sousa/arr. Loest.
It's never too early in your instrumental career to
play a Sousa march! Beginning bands can now
take part in this fine tradition with this arrangement
featuring the final strain from Sousa's High School
Cadets. While this setting is constructed from just
six notes, it preserves the spirit of the original.

l To the ForeChris M. Bernotas. An appealing
and spirited march for your beginning band!
While using only six notes, it still maintains all
of the excitement that a march should provide.
The strong sense of rhythm, catchy melody and
dynamic changes provide many valuable teachable
moments. Correlates to Book 1, Level 2 of Sound
Innovations for Concert Band.

Valor (March)Larry Clark. Easy, tuneful and
standard in form, Valor has all of the makings of a
new standard for very young bands. The rhythmic
values are limited, but the march contains the
standard modulation at the trio and is stylistically
on par with some of the great American marches.

H American Spirit MarchJohn Higgins. Written
with patriotic flair and plenty of solid ensemble
scoring, this John Higgins original makes a fabulous
first march for any young band! Short feature spots
for woodwinds and percussion, and good fanfare-
like melodies that get the brass playing some easy
intervals make this a wonderful teaching tool too.
Well done!

AndaluciaVictor Lopez. Andalucia has always
been a very musical land and the unique music and
exotic dances have inspired composers throughout
history. This tradition continues with this inspired
work, flavored by the colorful blended sounds of the
flamenco traditional march styles. Full of fire and
energy it will spice up any young band concert!

4 Aspire, AchieveJeanne Vultaggio. Young
musicians will thrill at their achievement when
they perform this regal-sounding work. Minimal
eighth notes, careful doubling and only six pitches
allow beginners and ensembles with incomplete
instrumentation to sound good. Whether performed
as a bold concert work or a graduation march, it will
be very impressive!

bands! Annotation:

H Forward March!Paul Murtha. Here's a snappy
little march that your drummers are just going to
love! They get a spotlighted percussion break, and
there's also a nice "trio" melody for clarinets, strong
melodic writing with easy counterlines and a strong
full band finish. Bright, invigorating and reminiscent
of some of the great classical marches, this is a
strong choice for your beginners!
