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!

n 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!

arr. David Bobrowitz. This lively allegro is the
