Marching Band - Level 2 - SKU: A0.1444870 By Metallica. By Cliff Burton, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, and Lars Ulrich. Arranged by Kara Williams. Contemporary,Contest,Festival,Latin,March,Rock. 42 pages. Kara Williams #1024739. Published by Kara Williams (A0.1444870). A 2024 entrant in the Arrange Me ‘Metallica for Marching Band’ Competition, this clever, fun (and very, VERY catchy!) arrangement of Metallica’s ‘Fade To Black’ by Kara Williams has been completely reimagined in an Afro-Cuban “Guaguanco” style groove with Metallica’s distinctive vocal and guitar lines shining through. With fantastic rhythmic teaching points throughout, this chart also has scoring flexibility making it accessible for a range larger and smaller ensembles – including wind ensemble settings. Percussion parts can be customised to suit available ensemble players/instruments, and non-core marching band wind-player parts (see front cover) are provided. Whilst important tonal colours, the Horn in F part can be optional as it is covered by saxes/trombone, and mallets are optional. Director discretion can be applied to any of the piccolo/flute 8va-loco sections. karawilliamsmusic.com.

Alice Bannan Music #6136307. Published by Alice Bannan Music (A0.905440). Faded by Alan WalkerEarly intermediate piano soloA lovely piano reduction of this well-loved song. The introduction captures the LH Alberti bass for the instantly recognizable sound of this piece. The verse and chorus move to simple chords to provide the bass line while the RH plays the more complicated melody.The key signature of six flats means playing on the black keys most of the time making for smooth, easy playing. Lyrics for the first verse and chorus are included so you can sing along to help with the melody rhythms.Great for anyone who loves this song.

Orff instruments Orff instruments - Level 2 - SKU: A0.1279068 By Pixies. By Frank Black. Arranged by Fletcher Planert. Film/TV,Grunge,Pop,Punk,Rock. 4 pages. Fletcher Planert #870614. Published by Fletcher Planert (A0.1279068). This is an arrangement I made of Where Is My Mind by the Pixies for my Grade 3s using Orff Instrumentation. Inside you will find Glockenspiel, Alto Xylophone, and Bass Xylophone parts. You will need a Bb key for your BX.It is in F major to facilitate the singing range of the children. Depending on your class, you may choose to have a soloist or choir do the vocal line. I have not included the second verse in this arrangement.You can use this as a springboard for your own arrangement. I removed the B section from the original to make it strictly ostinato-based, thus being accessible to a younger ensemble. When I performed it with my students we were on a short timeline on stage so we faded out using the ostinatos. Make choices that honour your ensemble and the expectations of your administration and community.I included a Ukulele chart & tab for teachers that may use ukulele in their program. The Bb chord is a little tricky, but if you have a motivated or experienced uku section they might enjoy the challenge.The drum has been split into bass & snare. When I performed it I consolidated it into a single Djembe part with a bass tone and a slap. Choose Non-pitched percussion available in your school.

Concert Band - Level 2 - SKU: A0.1025077 Composed by Aric Noble. Contemporary,Folk. Score and parts. 10 pages. Aric Noble #5306619. Published by Aric Noble (A0.1025077). Over the past few years I have become obsessed with Norse Mythology, and I mean real Norse Mythology. I say that withquotes because in my research I realized that a lot of people tell different stories. This is mainly because back when Christianity was growing,the Christians saw anything that wasn't Christian as pagan, so they got rid of it all. So that is why Greek, Roman, and Norse religions faded into mythologies, and all that was left was passed around in folk tales. And also because Marvel tells a very different tale of the mythology than the research I have collected and I want people to know these stories. Now moving passed the history lesson and into the music. This is interesting for me because this is the biggest original piece that I've ever made. This is going to be a multimovement piece, and this is the 1st movement, Ginnungagap, the endless void. This movement describes The Void, and the two lands of Fire(Muspelheim) and Ice(Niflhiem).Starting with The Void, it describes the blackness, and I use the absence of instruments to give this feeling, but however to give2 of the other themes to foreshadow it. It moves into this wild cascading theme for the Niflheim theme to describe the cold cascading environment of the world.After that it slows into a dark and ominous theme for Muspelheim(Surtr's Destiny). This was an interesting part to make because in mythology, Surtr, also referred to as Surt, is the fabled fire giant who destroys Asgard. No one knows where hecomes from, but from the moment of his creation, he knew of his destiny to destroy Asgard so he spent all of his time forging his sword to burrow into Asgard. I used a break drum to symbolize a hammer hitting an anvil to forge a sword, a lingering sound of Surtr's destiny.After this, I brought both themes together to resemble The Clash of the two worlds to create the Norse universe.The final theme in this first movement is entitled I am Ymir. In myhtology, Ymir is the father of everything. Created from the clash, he gave creation to all the gods, humans, giants, elves, and dwarves. This final theme takes Surtr's theme and flipsit to be mo.

Composed by Traditional Scottish. Arranged by James M. Guthrie. Christian, Repertoire, Technique Training, Easter, Lent. Score, Set of Parts. 17 pages. Published by jmsgu3
The Water Is Wide (O Waly Waly)
Duration: 5:24
Score: 10 pg. 121 ms., MM quarter = 94, final verse MM quarter = 80, common time
Solo part: 3 pg.
Piano part: 4 pg.
A thought-provoking arrangement of a Traditional Scottish Folksong. Probably most widely known as "The Water Is Wide,"
it is also well known by it's more ancient title: "O Waly Waly." The tune is also known as " When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," and "The Gift of Love."
This is an original arrangement from the ground up.
Programming:
If you are looking for something with new contrapuntal and harmonic adventures for a Lenten prelude or a meditation during Holy Week, this will fit the bill.
It could also work well in a recital setting because it fits well on the instrument, and provides a chance to show off long, sensitive musical phrases.
Some of the figures in the descant verse are a wee-bit more advanced so, this is for intermediate players rather than beginners.
Keep in mind these performance ideas:
1. It's a simple tune that needs to unfold in the due course of time, so don't rush it. A slight ritardando at the end of each verse may help if you want to further delineate the verses.
2. There is a lot of interesting counterpoint here, so be prepared to give-and-take on the dynamics more than what I have indicated.
3. The final verse is much slower and more mysterious, and the dynamics are crucial - the quieter the better. Piano - the last chord: take your time on the roll, make it nice and slow.
Synopsis of the arrangement:
verse 1: Simple quiet duet with the melody in the solo instrument.
verse 2: Melody in the solo instrument accompanied by a 2-part canon in the piano.
verse 3: Melody in the piano in 4-part harmony.
verse 4: 3-part canon on the melody (with a free accompaniment voice).
verse 5: 2-part canon with a free accompaniment in the solo part
verse 6: Melody in octaves with free bass in octaves; descant in the solo part - loudest verse.
verse 7: Very quiet ending verse - Modulates down a fourth, melody in the solo part accompanied by simple quartal/quintal
piano clusters over bass chords that suggest submerged church bells.
For better insight into the performance of this music: express the emotion indicated by the lyrics:
The Water Is Wide:
The water is wide, I cannot get over
Neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
A ship there is and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim
I leaned my back against an oak
Thinking it was a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
So did my love prove false to me
I reached my finger into some soft bush
Thinking the fairest flower to find
I pricked my finger to the bone
And left the fairest flower behind
Oh love be handsome and love be kind
Gay as a jewel when first it is new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew
Must I go bound while you go free
Must I love a man who doesn't love me
Must I be born with so little art
As to love a man who'll break my heart
When cockle shells turn silver bells
Then will my love come back to me
When roses bloom in winter's gloom
Then will my love return to me
The lyrics for "Waly, Waly, Gin Love Be Bonny" from Ramsay's Tea Table Miscellany (1724).
O Waly, waly (a lament ? "woe is me") up the bank,
And waly, waly doun the brae (hill),
And waly, waly, yon burn-side (riverside),
Where I and my love wont to gae.
I lean'd my back into an aik (oak),
I thocht it was a trusty tree;
But first it bow'd, and syne (soon) it brak (broke),
Sae my true love did lightly me.
O waly, waly, but love be bonnie (beautiful),
A little time while it is new,
But when 'tis auld (old), it waxeth cauld (cold),
And fades away like the morning dew.
O wherefore should I busk my heid (adorn my head)?
Or wherefore should I kame (comb) my hair?
For my true love has me forsook,
And says he'll never love me mair (more).
Now Arthur Seat shall be my bed,
The sheets shall ne'er be fyl'd by me,
Saint Anton's well shall be my drink,
Since my true love has forsaken me.
Martinmas wind, when wilt thou blaw (blow),
And shake the green leaves off the tree?
O gentle death, when wilt thou come?
For of my life I am weary.
'Tis not the frost, that freezes fell,
Nor blawing snaws (snow) inclemency,
'Tis not sic cauld (such cold) that makes me cry,
But my love's heart grown cauld to me.
When we cam in by Glasgow town,
We were a comely sight to see;
My love was clad in the black velvet,
And I my sell in cramasie (crimson).
But had I wist (known), before I kiss'd,
That love had been sae ill to win,
I'd lock my heart in a case of gold,
And pin'd it with a silver pin.
Oh, oh! if my young babe were born,
And set upon the nurse's knee,
And I my sell were dead and gane,
For a maid again I'll never be.[4]
