Half-Past Two - Randall D. Standridge

"Half-Past Two" is a rock piece for young band intended to reinforce and deepen the students' understanding of dotted quarter/eighth note rhythms, providing a vehicle for this concept that is fun and memorable for both students and audiences. The title is both an homage to time-inspired rock songs ("25 or 6 to 4," "Rock Around the Clock," "Midnight Hour," etc. . . .) and a nod to the concept being taught---placing a note halfway past beat two.

Hallelujah (from ) - George Frederic Handel / arr. David Marlatt

Handel's most frequently performed and most famous oratorio is probably best known for the famous "Hallelujah." The "Hallelujah" is the grand chorus that caused the King to rise from his seat and, as all good subjects, the entire audience rose with him. This tradition holds true even today, reminding us of the great beginnings of this powerful music. This arrangement, for band and optional choir, has been lowered a tone from the original into C concert. (4:30)
