The legends of old tell of brave knights, sworn to protect and defend, who vanquished dragons and saved people from tyranny. This new work for developing band, inspired by a 15th century piece titled "Agincourt Carol", is a wonderful fantasy written by Tyler Arcari. From exciting tutti sections, accessible solo moments, courtly brass fanfares and lush woodwind choirs - Defender's Oath has something for everyone.

Defenders Day - Joseph Compello

The march Defenders Day is named for the legal holiday in Maryland which commemorates the successful defense of the city of Baltimore on September 12, 1814 from an invading British force during the War of 1812. This event would lead to the writing of the United States of America's national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner." The form and style follow the standard American march format and is perfect for festival performance.

Defenders Of The Realm - Jeremy Bell

Defiance - George Sweet

A calm opening sets the mood for the piece before it moves into an uptempo theme. The piece contains lots of different instrumental colors with interplay between brass, woodwinds, and percussion. All of this is developed into a return of the main theme followed by a coda. This is a perfect selection to showcase young bands in contest/festival performance.
