Canadian Folk Trilogy - Vince Gassi

offers a refreshing setting of three popular Canadian Folk songs. Kicking things off is an enjoyable adaptation of "Donkey Riding." Singing this tune helped sailors to pass the time as they used the donkey engine to load timber onto the decks of ships in Canadian ports. "Inuit Lullaby" slows the pace with a simple but beautiful melody set in three bar phrases. Finally, we conclude with a rollicking version of "I's the B'y" (I'm the Boy), a traditional Newfoundland folk song.

Candy Shop - Mateo James

This piece is lighthearted and bouncy and could resemble the feelings and senses a child might have when exploring a candy shop; different colors, sights, smells, and of course, tastes! The piece is easy enough for a first year band to play; using only the first six notes, this piece provides enough of a challenge to keep students motivated. You can use it as an opportunity to teach staccato, articulation, accents, and eighth-note accuracy.

Canon - Johann Pachelbel / arr. David Marlatt

Canon by Johann Pachelbel is one of the most famous and recognizable pieces of classical music. The treatment of the melody in this arrangement follows a popular Baroque tradition, the concerto grosso. This technique utilizes a small group of soloists that were supported by the remainder of the ensemble. In this arrangement, the solo instruments are 2 flutes and 2 clarinets which have the majority of the technically scalar passages as well as the lyrical melody line. The "chamber sound" created by this arrangement is a welcome variation from the tutti sound that is commonly found in concert band writing.

Canterbury Walk - Carl Strommen

Written in the grand tradition of British wind band music, Canterbury Walk is perfect for concert or contest! Canterbury Walk opens and closes with a light marchlike melody in the woodwinds. The contrasting middle section is lush and lyrical, and features the brass section. Light percussion is utilized throughout. Another winner from the pen of Carl Strommen! This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
