Alligator Alley - Michael Daugherty

(2003) Award-winning composer Michael Daugherty's first published work for young band describes a stretch of Interstate 75 that crosses through Florida's Everglades National Park. Alligator Alley celebrates this noble beast that has remained largely unchanged from prehistoric times. The first theme (Alligator's Theme) features the woodwinds (predominantly bassoons) while the second theme (Hunter's Theme) is performed by the brass. Program notes and staging suggestions are included in this marvelously descriptive work. Duration - ca. 4:30 Free interdisciplinary curriculum for the piece is available for download at BandQuest.org. Learn more on YouTube! BandQuest, an exciting series of new music and accompanying curricula for band, is a program published by the American Composers Forum. The series was started as a response to feedback from music educators that there is a pressing need for new, fresh band music. The heart of this program is new works written by a diverse group of leading American composers who have created challenging pieces that are a true departure from standard middle school repertoire. Every BandQuest project includes a residency component in which the composer works collaboratively with a middle school as they create their new piece. Many BandQuest pieces are accompanied by an interdisciplinary curriculum designed to assist students as they learn the music and to integrate each piece with non-music studies.

Almansa - Ferrer Ferran

Al-Manzah, nowadays called Almansa, is a town of Muslim origin. Its name comes from the Arabic word al-mansah, meaning "the watchtower". On a rocky peak above the town stands an impressive castle from where it is possible to admire the Spanish Levant(the Mediterranean coast of the Valencian region) from the Meseta (a high plateau in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula).This is a delightful and festive piece which is both pleasant to listen to and exciting to play.

Almost The Blues - Mike Carubia

A moderate tempo rock groove with plenty of unison uses call & response passages stating the melody. Solos are based on two chords in the friendly key of Bb. Two eight measure ensemble sections follow the solos then to a big ending. Very upbeat and an easy play for your inexperienced group. Includes an optional flute part. Totally Cool!

Almshouse Street Blues - Philip Sparke

In 2007, Philip Sparke received the exciting task of composing three new works for the historic Monmouth School, situated on the Welsh/English border, at which he was composer-in-residence. Almshouse Street Blues was conceived ina truly democratic way, with each member of the band choosing the kind of piece they wanted! The result reflects the summer festival that takes place in the town each year, where you can experience anything from folk music to jazzand even bangra. With Almshouse Street Blues, Philip Sparke has written a work that will fit perfectly in any festival program. Dur: 4:45
