A River Trilogy

After an original introduction, the full ensemble plays the African-American spiritual “Deep River.” A clarinet and flute duet ushers in the early English folk song “The Water is Wide,” and the full band concludes with a lovely treatment of the American classic “Shenandoah.” (2:15)Correlated with Accent on Achievement, Book 1, page 28.

After a powerful introduction, the main theme is introduced in a spirited Allegro section, portraying the excitement as the Corps of Discovery set out on its westward journey. This is followed by the lush and beautiful Andante section, which depicts the thousands of miles of spectacular mountains, rivers and wildlife encountered along the route. The anticipation and thrill of reaching the Pacific Ocean (upon arriving at what is now the state of Oregon) is brought to life with a recapitulation of the opening theme, bringing the historic journey to an exciting end.SKU: AL22289 -

A Winter’s Carol
Yet another masterful holiday arrangement from Mark Williams! A slow, wintry opening sets the tone for a lovely rendition of “O Come, O Come, Immanuel.” The hand-off of running sixteenth notes give students a chance to hone their ensemble skills. A contrasting tutti section provides a rich, majestic scoring of the popular carol, with flourishes in the brass. The closing Adagio section returns to the somber mood of the opening. A wonderful mood-setter for holiday programs!SKU: AL16503 -

A Winter’s Night (based on “Silent Night”)
Though “Silent Night” has been arranged for band many times before, this unique setting by Rick Kirby deserves special attention. An oboe solo (cued for alto sax) accompanied by piano sets the stage for an impressive rhapsodic approach that includes lush full ensemble passages with harmonic twists, solos for recorder (flute), bassoon (tenor sax) and euphonium. Rick’s beautiful rendering ends with the band singing “Silent Night” in unison. Sure to become a holiday highlight.SKU: HL04003085
