Roscommon Way

This regal fanfare captures the elegant dignity of the traditional British Regal march. A stately fanfare is contrasted against a broad, legato melody that leads to a chorale before returning to the original theme. A grand and majestic selection for concert or contest!

Rugby Heritage

Based on a 19th-centuryschool hymn still performed today by students at Rugby Middle School, this composition opens with a fanfare followed by a British-style march. A beautiful, lyrical andante section leads to a restatement of the march. With contrasting dynamics, tempo changes, plenty of independent lines and a tuneful melodic approach this concert or contest composition is perfect for working on musical concepts with young musicians.

Safety - Harold Bennett

Safety is yet another delightful little march from Henry Fillmore written under the pseudonym of Harold Bennett. Larry Clark has breathed new life into 18 of these excellent young band marches already and he continues this year with a tuneful one in 6/8 time. This is an important time signature in the march form and will prepare young students for more advanced 6/8 marches by Fillmore, Sousa and others.
