Feature your young piano player on this classic Boogie Woogie by Andy Clark. Quite playable and tremendously appealing to audiences, this is a great way to let your pianist get out of the shadows of the band and into the limelight. The Piano solo will sound great on either acoustic or electric keyboards and the piano part is completely written out so that it requires no improvisation.

An outstanding choice for any group with very limited instrumentation, Scott Stanton’s original arrangement includes America, America the Beautiful and The Star Spangled Banner. From the Build-A-Band Series, it is playable with virtually any instrumentation as long as all four of the main parts are covered and it also includes optional parts for Mallets, Guitar, Keyboards, Strings, and Percussion. All three pieces can be performed separately if desired and it will provide an impressive sound even with very small groups.
About Build-A-Band Series
The Build-A-Band Series provides educational and enjoyable music for bands with incomplete or unbalanced instrumentation. Written using just four or five parts (plus percussion), these effective arrangements will work with any combination of brass, woodwind, string and percussion instruments as long as you distribute the parts so that each of the five parts is covered. All of the publications in the Build-A-Band Series have been arranged to be playable with any instrumentation as long as each part is used: 1st Part, 2nd Part, 3rd Part, 4th Part, and Bass Part. (Please note: In some of these arrangements the 4th Part, and the Bass Part are the same, making it possible to play those arrangements with only 4 parts.)

Jubilant Spirit is sure to become a favorite among music educators, performers, and audience members. The high-energy introduction makes this piece an ideal opening for both concert and contest performances. The clever and spirited theme is shared by woodwinds, trumpets, and keyboards and supported by the low brass and horn. The beautiful Andantino provides every section the chance to play expressively and to explore each performer's ability and understanding of lyrical playing. Tasteful percussion writing contributes to the drive of the piece as well as giving the percussionists the opportunity to be fully involved in every section of the piece. Jubilant Spirit has been carefully edited to help the music educator maximize the effectiveness of style and dynamics and to also teach the concept of phrase development, especially in the lyrical middle section.

Arranged for SATB choir, two keyboards, strings, and optional harp, with soprano, tenor (optional) and baritone soloists, this fresh and unorthodox interpretation reflects on the words of the Latin Mass by juxtaposing them with poems in English. For soprano solo and SATB choir, this movement begins with the choir on the English text by Phineas Fletcher (1633). A 32-measure soprano solo follows, which covers the majority of the English text. The soloist then begins the ââ¬ÅRecordare,ââ¬Â a calm, descending melodic line with the choir singing the opening ââ¬ÅDrop, dropââ¬Â motif as accompaniment. The choir then concludes with the slow, descending lines ââ¬ÅJesu pie, Jesu pie.ââ¬Â Duration 4:04.

This spirited work by Ed Huckeby features unique rhythmic accompaniment rhythms in the lower parts contrasted with simple, but musically effective upper voice melodic lines. The moderato middle section utilizes subtle syncopation to create a pleasant contemporary character. Ed's medium-easy arrangement for the Build-A-Band Series makes it playable with very small bands and bands with severe instrumentation issues, and insures that it will be a favorite concert and contest selection for years to come for these groups. As usual with this series, optional parts are included for percussion and keyboards.

Arranged for SATB choir, two keyboards, strings, and optional harp, with soprano, tenor (optional) and baritone soloists, this fresh and unorthodox interpretation reflects on the words of the Latin Mass by juxtaposing them with poems in English. The “Kyrie†uses Francis Quarles’ “Close now thine eyes and rest secure†as the opposing English text. After the choir begins the requiem text in Latin (“Requiem aeternam†through the “Kyrie eleison,â€) the soprano soloist has a 27-measure solo in which the English text appears. Then the solo is repeated over choir accompaniment and the opening Latin text reappears to close the movement. Duration 9:13.
