Children's March (Over the Hills and Far Away) - Percy Aldridge Grainger

Arranged by Frank Erickson. This exceptional work holds a special place in concert band literature (grades 4-5). In a bright 6/8 tempo throughout, the wonderful vitality of Grainger's writing makes for a truly memorable musical experience.

Children'S March Over The Hills And Far Away - Percy Aldridge Grainger

Percy Grainger's extraordinary scoring skills permeate this classic, carefree work for symphonic band. Children's March: Over the Hills and Far Away, originally a piano solo, was orchestrated by the composer while he was a member of the U.S. Coast Guard Artillery Band. It includes two unusual scoring elements for the time - a prominent part for piano (cued in the winds), and brief four-part vocal interludes to be sung by members of the band (or a small chorus ad lib). Grainger believed that the greatest expressivity could be found in the lower instruments of the band (particularly the lower woodwinds), and Children's March includes a liberal and highly specialized use of the bassoons, English horn, bass clarinet and low saxophones. The march was first performed by the renowned Goldman Band in 1919, and was recorded in its original form by the same band with the composer conducting. (Full set includes a vocal score.)

Children's Oak - Thierry Deleruyelle

Children's Oak was commissioned by the wind band from Beauquesne, France. This solemn work pays homage to a city particularly affected by the two World Wars and is inspired by the knowledge that the city of Beauquesne needed to recover from these terrible episodes in its history. The title has its origin in the roots of the word "Beauquesne", the beautiful oak tree. It is a beautiful slow piece for your concert, or as a resource to work on phrasing and intonation, or alternatively as a warm up piece.

Chili Bowl - Huckeby

Inspired by the famous "Chili Bowl" Sprint Car indoor races which are held annually, this lively march provides a teaching opportunity to introduce both minor and major tonalities within the same piece. The single bass line and limited range melodic lines also make this work uniquely accessible. A wonderful contest or concert march for young bands!
