H Pomp and Circumstance (Theme from March
No. 1)Sir Edward Elgar/arr. Grundman. This
is the graduation march against which all other
processional marches are measured. It's traditional,
stately, and exceptionally familiar, and satisfies the
expectations of virtually everyone who hears it.

n Pomp and Circumstance (Build-A-Band)Sir
Edward Elgar/arr. Stanton. Now even very small
bands or bands with severe instrumentation issues
can give an inspiring performance of this classic
piece for any graduation ceremony. Includes several
options for repeats so that you can make it just the
right length for any situation. Optional percussion
and keyboard parts further enhance its versatility.

n Pomp and CircumstanceSir Edward Elgar/
arr. Foster. The most famous and best known
graduation, commencement, or ceremonial
processional march in an effective, yet technically
easy edition. Written within the technical abilities on
any young band, yet full and mature in its musical
presentation, this new setting will be welcomed by
any band needing to play commencement without
enough rehearsal time, or without their more
mature graduating players. (2 minutes)

n Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1Sir
Edward Elgar/trans. Retford/arr. Reed. It's easy to
see why the audience demanded two encores at
the premiere of this magnificent march! Alfred Reed
has reworked the Retford transcription (written
for British military band) to work with today's
modern concert band sonorities. Every bit of the
original, including the famous trio so often used to
accompany commencement ceremonies, is found
here in all its glory. This belongs in all band libraries!
2456143 Band Set & Score . . . . MA 80.00
Pomp and Circumstance MarchesSir Edward
Elgar/arr. Williams. Perfect for performance either
at graduation ceremonies or in concert, this
arrangement combines the familiar trio themes
from Edward Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance
Marches Nos. 1 and 4. Your young band will sound
noble and dignified when playing this, no matter
what the occasion!
2478596 Band Set & Score . . . . . VE 48.00
n Pomp and Circumstance/RecessionalSir
Edward Elgar/arr. Hill & Elledge. One of the most
practical pieces of music in any band library is
an arrangement of Sir Edward Elgar's Pomp
and Circumstance. Accompanied by a stirring
recessional, this pair of ceremonial works will be an
invaluable addition. Both contain multiple endings
to allow maximum flexibility in performance, and
feature solid scoring which is effective both indoors
and out.
2216521 Band Set & Score . . . . . . E 40.00
Procession of HeroesRobert W. Smith &
Michael Story. First-year bands will welcome this
bold musical statement from this well-known

to players' abilities at the beginning level, this
majestic work will make every band sound huge
and accomplished.

America the BeautifulSamuel Ward/arr.
John Kinyon. This is an excellent patriotic number
for young musicians! For band alone it is a superb
selection, and it may also be combined with optional
two-part chorus, which includes a spoken Pledge of
Allegiance, for an unusually effective presentation!

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!

n Armed Forces Marcharr. Michael Sweeney.
These traditional themes have never sounded so
good at this easy of a level! Written in 2/4 rather
than cut time, this arrangement includes interesting
parts for all instruments- including the low brass and
percussion. Featuring The Marines' Hymn, Anchors
Aweigh and The Caissons Go Rolling Along, this is
the perfect concert closer for young bands.

l ChesterWilliam Billings/arr. Bill Calhoun. This
popular American Revolutionary War anthem is
given special treatment in this setting for beginning
band. A march-like introduction begins, followed by
an antiphonal statement of the main theme. This
transitions to a chorale setting of the melody, before
ending as it began with the march. A great way to
present this song that is so historically important in
our country's history.

The Gettysburg AddressMichael Story. This
work recognizes one of the great moments in
American history. Using musical fragments from
three Civil War songs: The Battle Cry of Freedom,
Dixie, and Battle Hymn of the Republic, it can be
performed with or without a narrator. The use of
the text will certainly enhance this patriotic setting
scored for beginners.
10364216 Band Set & Score . . . . . VE 55.00
The Legacy of Heroesarr. Michael Story.
An awe-inspiring work that pays tribute to fallen
military heroes. The flowing elegance of America
the Beautiful is interspersed with the regal
sound of Taps, resulting in a moving work for
your beginners. Suitable for concerts as well as
memorial ceremonies.

combined eight patriotic favorites every student
should know into a wonderful concert montage.
Includes: You're a Grand Old Flag; The American
Hymn; Manhattan Beach; Chester; America;
Yankee Doodle; Battle Hymn of the Republic and
America the Beautiful. A great way to expose your
students to the music of America!

Star Spangled Bannerarr. John Kinyon. Even
beginning bands are called on from time to time to
play our National Anthem, and this setting by John
Kinyon is "basic" to any young band library.
987461 Band Set & Score . . . . . VE 45.00
A Star Spangled MarchJohn Stafford Smith
& Francis Scott Key/arr. Story. As the title implies,

marching through your concert with pride.

Absolutely brilliant! Based on Battle Hymn of
the Republic and using brief statements of other
patriotic songs including America; Yankee Doodle
and America The Beautiful, this exceptional march
has a place in every folder! You'll appreciate John
Edmondson's mastery of scoring at this level, and

H American Patrolarr. Ed Huckeby. Here's a
fresh approach to one of the standards in band

on a new sound that will make your band sound
terrific. Limited ranges and minimal technical
requirements make this one a great choice for your

One of the greatest events in our nation's history

popular songs from the Civil War era, we see a
musical portrait of that time; tuneful and playable.
This medley functions as both an important
commemorative selection as well as a stirring
concert work.

l Gettysburg: A New Birth of FreedomRobert
E. Foster, Jr. One of the most honored and
respected speeches of all time, the Gettysburg
Address is presented with an accompaniment
that is playable by elementary groups. This
stirring setting is outstanding for change of pace
programming, or as an opportunity for cross-
curricular teaching. Community groups and upper
grade bands can also use this to quickly prepare
and present this historic and eloquent statement.

In Honor of the FallenBarry Milner. A respectful
and dignified work that honors the memory of those
we hold dear to us. Lone snare and bass drummers
set a solemn mood before being joined by subdued
wind instruments, providing a noble melody. The
perfect selection for any patriotic performance or
solemn memorial.
