Battle Quest - Mike Forbes

Battle Quest has a feeling of a video game or movie soundtrack, with vibrant, powerful themes. However, it is still very playable for developing bands. Mike Forbes has penned a piece that will make your group sound much more musically mature than their experience.

Battle Royal - Fred Jewell

Battlefield 1942 - Joel Bengt Errikson

Battlefield 1942 Theme - Joel Eriksson

One of the best-known video game themes of all time, Battlefield 1942 Theme features a driving military pulse and a memorable soaring melody. Paul Murtha's powerful version stays true to the original and brings all of the heart-pounding excitement to the concert stage.

Battlefield Earth

Battlefront - Sean O'Laughlin

Battlefront is a cinematic composition for the developing concert band. The music is bold and rhythmic throughout but also contains contrasting lyrical sections that allow for valuable teaching moments. The prominent use of the lower voices in the melodic passages is a perfect opportunity for them to take the lead while showing the high voices how to accompany, strengthening your ensemble's unity and awareness.

Battles - Simon Dobson

Battles was written for the restoration of the epic 1927 silent film The Battles of Coronel and Falkland Islands, and was commissioned by the British Film Institute (BFI) in 2013. The work presents eight contrasting scenes as a continuous sequence: War, Introduction of Admiral von Spee, German Banquet, Building Steam/Preparing, Islanders, Call to Arms, Great Battle at Sea and Victory. The original score was written for a small chamber orchestra, symphonic brass and a substantial batterie of tuned and untuned percussion. Battles has been edited for symphonic wind orchestra with percussion and harp.Composer Simon Dobson says of hiscolourful score, "I wanted to keep things simple and clear, so there is a British theme, a fanfare march idea, often heard on trumpet, and a German naval theme, which is a more angular motif."
