from Home Alone-Here is a very easy arrangement of the classic holiday ballad from Home Alone. This one is easy to learn and will add a nice contemporary touch to your holiday concert.

Colour and versatility is the key to this composition in three movements by Carl Wittrock. The Tournament is the most versatile piece of music you could wish for. Movement 1 (March) is an excellent lively concert opener. The 2nd movement (Ballad) is a calm interlude which provides much freedom for expression. Movement 3 (Dance) sweeps the piece along to the inevitable Grande Finale: a rousing melody with prominent rhythmic support.

Lullaby-Le compositeur dédie cette oeuvre originale à ses deux plus jeunes filles Teresa et Sarah. Goodnight vient ainsi compléter de manière fort intéressante la série pour enfants de pièces déjà composées Powerplay et Romantic Ballad. L?atmosphère intime créée par les différentes lignes mélodiques reflète la relation précieuse et unique entre un père et ses filles. Comme son nom l?indique Goodnight se joue telle une berceuse une oeuvre venant clore idéalement tout concert de soirée.

From the unforgettable Broadway musical and more recently the motion picture featuring Johnny Depp here are the dramatic and intensely beautiful melodies in a stunning setting for the concert stage. Includes: The Ballad of Sweeney Todd A Little Priest My Friends Pirelli's Miracle Elixir and Not While I'm Around.

The rock ballad Just for Friends is a gem for the conductor and the band. A marvellous number that allows the bandleader to show off the qualities of various solo-instruments.

Harlequin was commissioned by and is dedicated to euphonium virtuoso David Childs. The piece takes as its inspiration the happy and sad masks which symbolise the Commedia dell'Arte (which features Harlequin as one of its main characters) and comprises two movements a slow modal ballad followed by a frenetic faster movement. A fantastic showpiece for euphonium and band.

From the Musical A Little Night Music-This wonderful ballad from Sondheim's A Little Night Music has been recorded by countless artists and enjoys an enduring popularity with all audiences. Available once again here is the classic arrangement for band by Frank Cofield.

Music has power to help us heal and cope with the loss of loved ones. Using the beloved traditional Scottish ballad The Parting Glass combined with an original new melody here is a beautifully paced and sensitive musical memorial with a Celtic flavor. A key element of this work is the use of Highland bagpipes. If a pipe player is not available this part is cued in multiple parts throughout the band (or use a synthesizer with bagpipe patch). A moving tribute for any memorial. Dur: 4:30

This 4-movement suite is based on authentic folktunes from the beautiful southern province in France: the 'Provence'. The composer used an harmonic language respecting the popular characteristics but on the other hand also contains some 'spicy' notes (... just like the wellknown 'Provençal sauce'! ...). The instrumentation is very colourful paying a lot of attention to the different timbres of both brass and wood winds as well as to the percussion section.Every movement has its own character: 'Un Ange a fa la crido' (= An angel brought the creed / credo) is like a bourrée 'Adam e sa Coumpagnou' (= Adam and his companion) is an old love song 'Lou Fustié' (= the carpenter)a fast dance and finally 'Lis Escoubo' (= a whistle tune / popular ballad) is a farandole. In the latter the old tradition of folk musicians who play a whistle with one hand and a drum with the other hand is clearly represented during the first presentations of the one and only theme)Although this piece is not too demanding a well balanced band is necessary to perform it successfully. Thanks to the contrasts and the varying colours it keeps on holding the attention.

Nicky Shane Mark Kian and Bryan together form the Irish boy-band Westlife. During the past few years they have taken the charts by storm with six number one hits in the UK. The ballad My Love was a smash hit across the whole of Europe and this special arrangement succeeds in keeping the feel of the original song.

The musical Phantom of the Opera is full of many songs that are instantly recognised and it has been fundamental in making the genre of Musicals extremely popular with people of all ages. Peter Lavender’s arrangement of this tender and moving ballad will sound fantastic with just about any band.

Recorded by QUEEN-Although this tune by iconic band Queen met with a rather cool reception when it was first released in 1979 over the years it has become one of the bands most popular songs thanks in part to frequent use in advertising television and film. Featuring trademark tight harmonies and a dramatic style shift from moderate ballad to double time rock this arrangement will sound terrific even with young players.

Ballad for Band-Le stress et l?agitation de la vie moderne occulte trop souvent le sens et l?importance de la famille et des amis. Nous les considérons trop facilement comme une évidence dans notre quotidien. Toutefois nous ne devrions jamais oublier que chaque vie est unique dans la mesure où chaque individu à sa façon cache une histoire qui fait de lui un être particulier. Cette oeuvre du jeune compositeur allemand Thiemo Krass (1984) s?inspire des styles des grands maîtres de la musique classique ainsi que de ceux de compositeurs contemporains. Une oeuvre à la recherche du sens de l?existence.

This light hearted fun arrangement starts out in a mellow jazzy mambo - rock ballad and then goes into a sizzling hot driving mambo that will give your audience and maybe even your band dancing in their seats.

With chordal harmonies that can only be described as rich and luxurious this timeless Irish ballad is presented here in a marvelous and engaging setting guaranteed to make everyone feel good. Warm chords and Hazo's uniquetreatment of emotion-packed suspensions help make this a guaranteed favorite for years to come. Already a proven winner with honor bands and festivals Samuel Hazo's Danny Boy is a must have for your wind library. Dur:3:10Performed by the 2012 Oklahoma High School All-State Band Samuel R.
