The composer draws on his many years of teaching to provide a well-written march that will make students sound great!.Best Friends Forever derives its title from the phrase popularized in social media and frequently texted with the acronym BFF. As it pertains to this piece, Best Friends Forever refers to the two melodies first heard simultaneously at m. 5 after the repeat. Notice that Flutes, Clarinets and Bells play only the second time through at m. 5. Stylistically the entire piece should have the feel of a little march with an easy gait. In addition to gaining experience in independent part playing, young players will also learn the importance of balance by listening to what other sections of the band are playing.

Go Now in Peace, My Friends was written as a celebration of friendship and joy. The lyrics remind us of the gift of shared experiences, like singing in a choir. When we part from these gathered experiences, we are fuller of the good than we came; we learn from each other and are forever blessed by it.I wanted this song to feel like home to several traditions. Therefore, I used English, Latin, and Hebrew. The latter are two ancient languages that have endured millennia.Ite nunc in pace is Latin for go now in peace.Shalom chaverim is Hebrew for peace friends.It is my great hope that this song inspires you to appreciate the friends you have and the ones you will meet in the future.James Kevin Gray.

When Hearts Tremble is an emotion packed piece dedicated to musician friends lost all to soon. This beautiful composition by Brant Karrick reflects on the fragility of human existence, joyous memories of loved ones and their effect on everyone around them, and maintaining hope for what the future will hold when all feels lost. This tour de force piece perfectly displays Karrick's polished compositional craft with impeccable scoring, beautiful melodic writing, and exceptional orchestrational color.While the day-to-day grind of our lives can be filled with overwhelming obligations, goals and commitments, it is sometimes very easy to forget just how precious and fragile life is . It is so easy to get caught up in our own personal feelings and worries that we sometimes don’t realize and appreciate the many blessings we have, especially friendships . On Wednesday, November 18, 2015 the Jefferson High School Band in Jefferson, Georgia lost two of its members to a fatal car accident . The victims were brothers . Music was a constant part of their lives, and the boys were talented percussionists in the marching band . To help with the grieving process the school and community commissioned this piece to celebrate the lives of William and Alex Trimble .As a father, I cannot imagine losing a child, let alone two, and beginning this piece was very difficult as I felt extreme anguish, especially for the parents . But it was decided the piece should primarily reflect the enthusiasm, youthful spirits and positive influence these two young men demonstrated as they were deeply loved by their band mates, community and family . There are four main themes, each representing the feelings and emotions that are certain to occur after a loss of loved ones . The first theme is a short, introductory fanfare, strong and bold, to stand for courage . A second dance-like melody features a liltingly mixed meter to portray a youthful and carefree innocence . This soon changes into a third more song-like, and stately theme intended to provide encouragement as we move forward through life .The middle of the piece includes a soft transition as two snare drummers give voice to the boys, allowing them to thank their friends and assuring them that it will be okay . This moves directly into a slow melody introduced by the saxophones (Alex, the younger brother was also a saxophonist) and is a time for reflection and allows for feelings of sadness at losing beloved friends . However, a second statement of the same theme, now at full volume with a strong percussion cadence, intends to lift the spirits and allows all friends to unite in joyous celebration of life . Both the enthusiastic dance theme and stately lyrical theme return, now in different keys, and work their way toward the highly energetic burst of glorious sound in the short and wild coda . When Hearts Tremble was written to celebrate the joys of youth and life, and should remind us that our friends and loved ones are precious, and we should live each day to bring more joy into the world and into the lives of others .
