The Army Goes Rolling Along - Edmund L. Gruber, William Bryden, and Robert Danford / arr. Jerry Brubaker

Announcing the second in a series of Armed Forces service songs for Young Band by Jerry Brubaker! "The Army Goes Rolling Along" is the official song of the United States Army and is typically called "The Army Song." The song is based on the "Caisson Song" written by field artillery First Lieutenant (later Brigadier General) Edmund L. Gruber, Lieutenant William Bryden, and Lieutenant (later Major General) Robert Danford while stationed at Fort Stotsenburg in the Philippines in March 1908. The tune quickly became popular in field artillery units. This exciting march is further embellished by the call of the bugle.

The Ascent from Darkness - Rossano Galante

, by Rossano Galante, pays homage to the human race that endured the pandemic. He creates a musical landscape that depicts strength, tenacity, and compassion. The main theme, which is broad and lyrical, is stated by horns and winds. As the piece develops, the theme is played by full, chordal brass accompanied by rhythmic woodwind lines. The B section is lightly orchestrated with a solo oboe accompanied by the clarinet section, slowly growing to a tutti statement. The piece recapitulates with bold brass chords. The work ends as it begins, quietly incorporating the first motive. (4:00)

The elegant simplicity of this favorite Welsh folk song shines through in this skillful arrangement by Mark Williams.

A very tasteful addition to your band library.

The Basses Are Loaded - Kelly Bennette

A highly original, yet stylistically correct and appropriate march, by Kelly Bennette is a tongue-in-cheek word play on a situation in our national game of baseball. As might be expected, the low instruments of the band---particularly the tubas---have much of the melodic material, making this a refreshing change in programming. (3:00)
