Chester Leaps In is a cartoonish romp featuring chromatic bouncy lines with sudden intrusions of William Billings' familiar tune Chester popularized by the composer William Schuman.

William Billings' beloved song Chester the adopted theme of the Continental Army during America's war for independence forms the musical core of this fine work for young bands. Great for concert or contest this adaptation is short and sweet but does not skimp on style or emotional impact.

Arranged here for first-year players, this stirring patriotic tune from early American features a strong melody and energetic drive. Sure to be come a standard for beginning bands, this version is skillfully paced and perfectly scored.

Composed by William Billings (1746-1800). Arranged by Brad Pfeil. Full Orchestra; Part(s); Score. Belwin Beginning Full Orchestra. 122 pages. Published by Belwin Music (AP.45827).
