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.)

Medieval Dance - Thibaut de Blason / arr. Michael Story
A secular tune from the Medieval era, "Amours, que porra devenir" (O love, what will become of me), was composed by trouvre Thibaut de Blason, probably around 1200 AD. This arrangement for beginners is scored in 3/4 time and brings the vivid history back to life. Carefully scored, this piece offers both a history lesson and reinforcement of triple meter. Great for teaching and performance! (2:00)
