l Water Music (Suite from)G.F. Handel/
arr. Johnnie Vinson. Handel's "Water Music"
has endured in popularity for nearly 300 years!
King George I is said to have liked the music so
much that he ordered it repeated several times.
Originally three suites, each consisting of multiple
movements, Johnnie Vinson has skillfully adapted
this arrangement for young players using Alla
Hornpipe from the "Suite in D Major", and the Air
and Allegro from the "Suite in F Major." A very nice
arrangement that your students will enjoy!

Zombies Knocking On Your DoorJohn
Prescott. They're on television, they're in the
movies, so why not in your concert? Zombies are
everywhere, even knocking on your door! You lock
the door but they keep knocking; you tell them to go
away, but they just knock louder and more insistent.

H 1812 OvertureTchaikovsky/arr. Williams. With
this remarkable transcription your band will make a
really powerful statement! (And not just because of
the cannons!) The scoring on the opening chorale
is marvelous, transitional sections are included, and
of course the mighty finish is wondrously grand and
glorious. Mark Williams has proved to be a genius
at transcribing the classics at this level, and we
think he's done another top-notch job on this one.
This is a great arrangement that will challenge
bands at this level in a most positive manner!

l 1812 Overture (Highlights from)arr. Robert
Longfield. This perennial concert favorite by
Tchaikovsky has been expertly arranged for concert
band by Robert Longfield. It can stand alone as a
grade 3 composition, or it can be performed in a
mass band setting by using the supplementary
grade 1 and grade 2 sets of parts (sold separately).
Percussionists will have a "blast" emulating cannon
sounds and church bells.

n A+ (A "Precise" Prelude and An "Excellent"
March)Thomas Duffy. It's tough being a
musician! While most of the academic world
can make a mistake or two and still qualify for
the coveted A+ grade, if that happened on the
concert stage, there would be a stampede out the
door! Thomas Duffy takes a tongue-in-cheek look
at the inherent unfairness in the life of a young
musician, and gives the students "permission"
to make a couple mistakes, while still qualifying
for a top grade. The Prelude is precisely
imprecise, with harmonic material floating
around at the whims of the woodwinds. The
processional-style March is at first heard in
its most excellent form, then with the human
element of error added on the repeat. The CD-
ROM included with the band set is an incredible
teaching tool that offers a teacher's guide,
warm-ups and studies, composer interviews,
program notes, MIDI accompaniments which
allow students to play along while controlling the
tempo and much, much more. This is a welcome
new format for student discovery in performing
concert band literature!
