Silent Night - Franz Gruber

Published initially for band, the style of the accompaniment of this tender and richly scored setting of a Christmas favorite is based on the familiar Gymnopedie No. 1 by Eric Satie. It will add great distinction to seasonal programs that involve both the band and the chorus, though the choral and band versions can also be performed independently. The choral octavo comes in three versions - SATB, SAB and SSA.

Six Note Parade

Slavic Celebration - Bill Calhoun

Sleep, My Child

Sleep, My Childis astunning and heart-wrenching composition based on the Jewish folk songShlof, Mayn Kind. Written in memory of an outstanding orchestra conductor, the piece begins longingly with the composer's original material, followed by a clarinet solo of the folk song. A series of harmonic progressions builds to a climactic key change and then concludes with the original material reimagined in a more hopeful tone.

So Wondrous Bright

Soaring

Soaring is an exciting composition for solo trumpet and concert band. The music is celebratory in nature and features the dynamic and rhythmic range of the trumpet. The piece opens with an American rhythmic gesture reminiscent of Aaron Copland and John Williams. The trumpet answers this gesture with a bold cadenza that will transform into the main melody a little later on in the piece. If you have a good trumpet player, this would be a great choice to feature them or it can be used with a feature soloist from elsewhere. Just gorgeous.
