All the While

All the Whilewas inspired by a very special person in Tyler Arcari's life. Director's will be happy to find many opportunities for emotional and passionate playing with plenty of fun in the middle for young bands. All the While gives students a number of chancesto work on expressive playing during the beginning and ending sections, and offers a light rhythmic middle section for contrast.

Allegiance

Inspired by the mutual respect and devotion that can arise between a good band director and student players, Larry Clark has crafted a typically energetic and exciting overture-style piece for band. Full of great scoring, including some nicely challenging timpani writing, and several memorable melodies, this is a great showcase for the capabilities of a high school or good middle school band.

Alpine March

A delightful German-style march with memorable tunes and full-sounding scoring that will make a young band shine. There is a classic fade-out at the end followed by a short forte in the last measure. Great fun to play, Alpine March will make an excellent contest warm-up. Duration: 2'30" Key: Bb Ranges: Trumpet - F; Horn - Bb; Trombone - F

Amazing Grace - Traditional

Amber Moon

Amber moons are beautiful and rare full moons, created when the sun is high in the sky and directly opposite the moon. Amber Moonbegins with an opening fanfare, then moves into the first theme based on this fanfare. A second statement of the theme is repeated softly, followed by a lyrical secondary theme in the woodwinds. Variations follow this statement, and cyclically, like the comings and goings of the Moon and Sun, the piece concludes with a return to the initial theme.

America

Intended for intermediate to professional concert bands, this unique setting of this patriotic standard is perfect for honoring the United States of America and members of the Armed Forces. Not a typical setting, many liberties are taken to showcase each instrument of the ensemble with the melodic focus constantly shifting. As this short fanfare-like composition progresses, the mood shifts from unsettled to triumphant. Feature this as a thought-provoking moment in your concerts.
