1st Classic Suite - Mike Hannickel

This is an opportunity for you to introduce some great classic melodies to your beginning band. The Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods are represented in creative and accessible ways so that your students can be successful in concert and gain a real feel for some of history's great composers. You can also work with the History department to do some cross-curricular study. The suite format means that you can perform all three pieces in order, play only the movements your group has time to prepare, or intersperse the three sections with other groups or soloists you may choose to program. Any way you use it, this is a solid educational tool. Useful!

A spirited overture that is full of exciting rhythms, bold melodies and contemporary harmonies. Challenging, yet playable by most middle school and jr. high bands, it's an outstanding choice for contest or concert performances. An effective teaching piece that will pay big dividends to your band program! EXCEPTIONAL!
