1812 Overture, Themes from (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Tchaikovsky, Peter Ilyich - Vinson, Johnnie

Here is an excellent adaptation for younger bands of this famous overture by Tchaikovsky. The arrangement opens with the slow chorale-like theme which is found at the beginning of the original overture. From there, the piece builds to the familiar dymanic fast theme and powerful conclusion.

1834 (Machera Impressions) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan

The twofold title of this concert work is directly connected with the band who commissioned it. The 'Harmonie Municipale Grevenmacher' - from the town of the same name, by the river Moselle in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg - was founded in the year 1834. The name Machera is derived from the word machara, which in turn originated from maceries (old wall). Later, Machera evolved into Machern, Grafenmachern, and finally Grevenmacher. In 2009, this music society - the third oldest still in existence in the country - celebrated its 175th anniversary. And after all these years the society still flourishes! The dynamic committee, led by Georges May, fully supports and inspires the musical leader of the band, Claude Weiland, as well as his 60-strong ensemble. This well-functioning team took the initiative to ask Jan Van der Roost to write an anniversary composition, inspired, on the one hand, by the rural character of Grevenmacher and its surroundings (where the famous Moselle wine growing dominates the countryside), and on the other hand, by the dynamics, creativity and joie de vivre the band exudes. All of this resulted in a twofold work with alternating peace and excitement, virtuous and melodic features, orchestral splendour and soberly orchestrated passages. The premire, on 10 January 2010, was conducted by the composer himself at a successful gala concert which brought a fine year full of musical festivities to a close. The 'Harmonie Municipale Grevenmacher' faces the future with confidence, and will now prepare for its next milestone: the 200th anniversary!Duration: 11:00

1861 (Concert Band) - Newman, Jonathan

1861 is a lyric hymn/fantasia for young concert bands, based on the beautiful 19th century Anglican hymn "Lead Me, Lord" (written in 1861 by Charles Sebastian Wesley). The hymn itself features a gorgeous melodic line over biting harmonies and striking counterpoint, and provides the pillars for this work. First is a soloistic treatment, followed with a dramatic full band tutti, and finally a section of evocative humming. Throughout are unique textures and colourful improvisitory accompaniments.

2 Minutes to Christmas (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Shaffer, David

Opening with a percussive fanfare, this cleverly crafted medley includes "Ding Dong Merrily on High," "Pat a Pan," and "Jingle Bells" (what holiday arrangement would be complete without it?). Lots of sectional soli moments encourage independence of performance. Unique percussive sounds bring this arrangement alive with all of the sounds of the holiday season. And as the title implies, it can be played in exactly 2 minutes! Happy holidays! Duration: 2.00
