Par WILLIAMS JOHN. From the motion picture 1941, this is John Williams' tongue-in-cheek tribute to the big band era. Jay has adapted his arrangement for the Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps into a stunning production for marching band that will leave the crowd breathless! Featuring the sax section, a trumpet solo, and hot ensemble punches, it's just like having a mega jazz band on the field! / Date par…

Written in memory of a young girl who lost her battle with cancer, Thy Little Ones is a lovely tribute to all who find themselves in the midst of trouble. The PROSPECT tune is celebrated with simple vocal harmonizations and accompaniment. This work can be used for Christmas, and is a good choice for high school and church choirs. / Choeur SSA Et Piano

for large ensemble. Par TURNAGE MARK-ANTHONY. One of the movements in Scorched (arrangements of seventeen tunes by John Scofield for jazz trio and orchestra) has a coda, which repeats a dense, two-bar tag which sounded like it could be developed. Snapshots starts off by revealing bits of each of the two bars (with episodes placed in-between). The full two bars of music are then revealed at the end…

A moving tribute by Susan Day to the people we admire---whether it be family members, role models, or those serving our country---this piece in E minor uses easy rhythms, pizzicato, some divisi in the cello part, and a few low 2nd fingers in the violin 1 part. All players get melody lines, and the violin 2 part doubles the viola. Sounds harder than it is! (2:30) / Orchestre A Cordes

Paying tribute to great artists like Dick Dale, The Ventures, and Jan and Dean, here is an exciting, fast-paced piece in the style of classic 1960s surf rock. Easy eighth and quarter note rhythms and a focus on the first and second finger patterns make it approachable for beginners, and it's a fun way to apply lessons in reading G string notes. The optional drum kit part adds flair to the rock sty…

Homenaje Al Papa Francisco. Par SCHRONEN ALWIN MICHAEL. The work interprets in a sensitive way the effect Pope Frances, who was elected in March 2013, has on people. Based on three Argentine folk songs, the mass with its powerful and quiet parts arouses feelings of exaltation. The awakening and the joy caused by Pope Francis since his election is represented in the 'Gloria'. A varied, yet reverent…

Mezmer for string quartet is an adaptation of the last movement of Re-Collecting ASTORoids, an earlier suite for orchestra from Kats-Chernin. Commissioned by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, the suite was written in tribute to Astor Piazzolla and is clearly inspired by tango, though Kats-Chernin uses various rhythms as her source of inspiration. Mezmer is a miniature and has an intimate, smoky fe…

A Centenary Tribute to Holst's First Suite in Eb. Par DE HAAN JACOB. En 1909, Gustav Holst composa une oeuvre audacieuse et novatrice, la Première Suite en Mib Majeur, op. 28 n°1 (First Suite in Eb major, Op. 28, No. 1), une suite exclusivement écrite pour instruments à vent. À l’occasion du centenaire de cette pièce, devenue un classique du répertoire pour Orchestre d’Harmonie, Jacob de Haan a co…
