Rigaudon

The rigaudon is a French Baroque dance in a lively duple meter. Rhythmically simple with a few syncopated lines, this short composition is the perfect introduction to this style. With varying dynamics, this is an excellent piece for developing a lighter playing style while also focusing on listening, articulations, and musical phrasing with repeats. Playable by as few as one on a part, this also works well for smaller bands with limited instrumentation.

Rock 'N Roll Attitude

A power rock song that will be a ball to play while the students are becoming better musicians. It is easy to play.Clarinets do not cross the break, and the first trumpet's highest note is B-flat.

Rock Attack

Rock Forever - Donald Josuweit

This is a foot stomping rock song. It is an audience pleaser. The 1st clarinets play above the break. The 1st trumpet's highest note is D. This is a great tool for teaching syncopation.

Rock Your World - Bill Calhoun

Rocket Surgery

Written for smaller bands with limited instrumentation that are looking for more challenging compositions, this complex composition will develop musicians counting and rhythmic precision skills while also working on cut-time and tonguing. Definitely a different type of composition, this will entertain performers and audiences alike with its tongue-in-cheek approach.
