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.)

This short, “cool†suite in three movements can be performed with a variety of instruments from a handful of players to a complete concert band. The first movement radiates joy with a powerful 3/4 beat. The second movement is in the style of a pavane, which gives a sense of nostalgia and the final movement forms a cheerful and high-spirited closing with a really funky beat. This wonderful suite has been composed especially for youth musicians and they will all gain great pleasure from performing it.Because of the four-part instrumentation, School's Cool is suitable for smaller strengths, taking into account that it is important to divide parts evenly among the players. Alsoincludes an ad-lib keyboard/piano part to support the ensemble. Deze korte suite is uitvoerbaar in elke denkbare bezetting (eventueel inclusief piano). School’s Cool is gecomponeerd in opdracht van de Yamaha Bläserklasse van de Frauenwaldschule in Nieder-Mörlen (Duitsland), ter gelegenheidvan de verhuizing naar een ander gebouw. De leerlingen van het orkest vonden de voormalige school ‘cool’, omdat ze er fijn konden musiceren. Het eerste deel straalt deze vreugde uit met een krachtige beat in driekwartsmaat. Hettweede deel is een soort pavane, waarin even wat weemoed doorklinkt. Het derde deel vormt een levenslustig slot in een lekkere funkbeat. Een heerlijke suite voor jeugdige musici.Diese kurze, coole“ Suite in drei Sätzen wurde speziell für eine hoch motivierte Bläserklasse komponiert und kann deshalb in jeder denkbaren Spielstärke (optional mit Klavier) gespielt werden. Der erste Satz strahlt Spielfreude in einem kraftvollen Rhythmus im 1/2-Takt aus. Der zweite Satz ist eine Art Pavane, in welcher einen Moment lang Nostalgie widerklingt. Der dritte Satz bildet ein fröhliches, in Hochstimmung endendes Finale in einem ansprechenden Funk-Beat. Kurz gesagt, ist School’s Cool eine wunderbare Suite, ganz besonders für junge Musiker.Cette petite suite en trois mouvements est adaptée tous types de formations géométrie variable (partie de piano optionnelle). Le premier mouvement évoque la joie de vivre. Le deuxième mouvement est une sorte de pavane empreinte de nostalgie. Le troisième mouvement conclut l’œuvre sur un rythme funk entraînant.

Handel in the Band is a virtuoso set of symphonic variations on one of Handel's best known keyboard dances, the Sarabande from his Suite in D minor, HWV 437, based on the Spanish traditional dance La Folia. Kenneth Downie's work was commissioned by Brass Band Treize Etoiles, for performance at the 2013 Swiss National Brass Band Championships, where it was conducted by James Gourlay. The title is a reference to Percy Grainger's popular Handel in the Strand, and is indicative of the witty and theatrical nature of the music, which is more playful than conventional competition pieces and as such offers different challenges to brass bands as well as being thoroughly entertaining for audiences. Kenneth Downie is one of the most respected and experienced brass band composers. His music has been widely performed and published throughout the brass band world since the 1960s.
