Girl with the Flaxen Hair - Claude Debussy / arr. David Marlatt

The Girl With The Flaxen Hair is of Claude Debussy's most popular piano works. It has been said that this piece, with its impressionistic and progressive harmonies, may have been a significant influence for many jazz artists of the 20th century. A more "chamber sound" can be created by reducing the players to one-to-a-part in most of this arrangement. This would allow the opportunity to feature several soloists in the band and introduce the players to a wind ensemble sound.

Give My Regards to Broadway - George M. Cohan / arr. Chris Sharp

This musical salute to Broadway is designed for performance by a wide range of ensembles including accomplished middle school to community and professional groups. Styled after a typical Broadway overture, the arrangement covers a variety of styles including lyrical, two-beat, soft-shoe, and a Dixieland-style segment featuring solo clarinet, trumpet, trombone, tuba, and percussion. A grand finale reminiscent of John Phillip Sousa brings this to a rousing conclusion. Exciting!

Glaciers - Scott Director

Five musical vignettes demonstrating this wonder of nature are joined to create this refreshing new work. Opening with sounds that conjure the image of formations, builds to grandiose proportions. As the work develops, listeners are drawn to the destruction of the massive ice structure as it crashes to the sea below and concludes with vivid musical imagery signaling the battle for the glacier's survival and the beginning of the cycle once again. A stunning addition to the concert band repertoire! (5:18) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
