A HAPPY DAY

A Victory March

Una Feliz Marcha

This is a fun piece with a bouncy melody and rhythms that will have everyone smiling and tapping their foot. Ranges and rhythms are easily played by 2nd-year players and the song falls together very well. There are two key changes Eb - Bb - Eb. While many parts have two parts, they are rhythmically unison and mostly harmonically unison. The splits come mostly due to range for younger players.

Paseo Feliz

LOT'S OF CHRISTMAS is exactly what it says. There are about 20 songs spread throughout, over, under, simultaneously and many other ways throughout the piece. The audience will have fun keeping track of all of the songs. Playing levels are well within a 2nd-year player, but all of the rests, counting, changes, etc. give it the harder level. Once they have the individual parts down, it's very easy to put together.

Lots Of Christmas

Fantasy On A Good King is an extended version of my arrangement of Good King Wenceslas above. It would be rated at 2.5 with multiple divided parts in most sections with a duration of almost 3 minutes. As GKW, it is a driving fanfare and not a traditional Christmas arrangement. It also has variations on the melody with multiple time signatures in one section. Your audience and band will really enjoy the excitement of this piece.

JINGLE BELL MARCH is a fun march for all types of young bands.  At the same time, an older group could have a lot of fun bringing out many of the “hidden” parts and is easy to work up for that annual Christmas parade! Though the main theme uses a march style of Jingle Bells, there are many other melodies used as counter melodies.  Be sure and bring out each of these on the repeats of each strain.

Jingle Bell March

GLORY MARCH Fun concert march with very playable parts for all 1st-year players. Standard instrumentation, unison low brass. Only Clarinet and Trumpet are split. ​WOODWINDS - Fl, Ob, Bsn, Clar(2), BC, AS, TS, BS. BRASS - Trpt(2), Hn, Tbn/Euph, Tu (Low BR/WW unison) PERCUSSION- Bells, Timp, SD, BD, Tambourine, Cymbal

Glory March

ENTRY MARCH Yes! This is in Bb minor but is still very playable for a young/small band. It has a very understated melody accompanied by a bass/percussion ostinato part that builds throughout the entire march. Low brass/WW are mostly unison and all voices are supported. The percussion is very repetitive with plenty of parts but can be played by a smaller section.

Entry March

ENTHEOS (Grade 3) is a loud and frantic piece. It is the root of the word "Enthusiasm". It was also a celebration of the god Dionysus, where worshippers danced wildly while tearing a wild bull apart with their hands and teeth. This was accompanied by frantic music with loud cymbals.  The score included is 8.5x11. If you need a larger score, you can find it on J.W. Pepper

Entheos

NATIONAL PASTTIME MARCHPlaying with the melody from "Take Me Out To the Ballgame" your band will feel like they're at the "old ballgame". They'll get to hit the ball, call the batter out and bring the feel of the game to your audience. This listed as Grade 2 but most of the parts are much easier. The few chromatic sections increase the difficulty from a Grade 1

National Pasttime March

BreakAway (Grade 1) Great piece for that end of year festival piece for beginner band or mid-year for 2nd-year players. There is a LOT of percussion parts to go around but it can be played with much fewer parts. Low brass/WW is unison. Clarinet and trumpet are split but it is for range issues with younger players. Rhythms on these are unison.

BreakAway

BOWIE MARCH is a quick (120bpm) march. It should be played in a very lifted, marcato style through out. Limted syncopation in melody and accompaniment give it a energetic, moving, bouncy motion. Major key of Eb in A section - B section in F minor. Though many parts are split, they are rhythmically unison and often pitch unison. They help mostly with range.

James Bowie March

BATTLE SCAR (Grade 1.5) is an exciting piece for young concert band. While the ranges are suitable for all 2nd-year players, the rhythms and percussion make this a level 1.5. The rhythm for all wind parts are mostly unison. Low brass is almost entirely unison. Percussion is much more aggressive but can be played with fewer players/parts if necessary.

BATTLE SCAR

Fast-paced and exciting piece that would be a great opener for a concert. It immediately grabs the audience's attention and holds it to the end. Strong rhythms with driving percussion. Duration 3'30"

ANTICIPATIONS

ALPHA MARCH is written for beginner band, it is closer to a Grade 1/2. It uses a very playable tune for that spring contest. ​It incorporates Bb & Eb mini-scales as the melodic theme (no key change!). Everyone gets a shot at the melody!

Alpha March

Alleluia No. 1 For Band

Fun tune for a Fall/Halloween concert. Ranges and rhythms are very playable and lots of fun SCARY sound effects. Creativity is encouraged at making your own sounds.

AAAGGGHHH!!!

This piece can be used as a concert title or concert march. It unapologetically is based on Holts' Mars piece.

A Galaxy Marches On

6th STREET MARCH is an upbeat, moderato march - Closer to grade 1.5 due to length (70 measures). Key of Eb major, no key changes except relative C minor. Clarinet & trumpet are split. Low brass is almost all rhythmically unison. As always, I write lots of percussion but can be played with smaller sections. ​WOODWINDS - Fl, Ob, Bsn, Clar(2), BC, AS, TS, BS. BRASS - Trpt(2), Hn, Tbn, Euph, Tu (Low BR/WW mostly unison) PERCUSSION- Timpani, Bells, SD, BD, Cymbal, Triangle, Tambourine
