Street Beat Christmas - Traditional

Arranger Joseph Compello brings us a nice holiday collage that features the percussion section playing "real" street beats. Beside being an effective and fun arrangment, your percussion section will learn different roll-offs and streets that will be useful for parades or other events where street beats are needed. Well done Joe!

Sunrise March

Named for the opening motif, which quickly ascends like the rising sun, this march offers several teaching moments. Students get to work on independent parts playing in imitation or call and response, dynamic development, staccatos, accents, and minimal accidentals. Every section plays the melody at some point which makes this an excellent choice for demonstration or recruitment concerts. Perfect for concerts and contest, and even graduation as a processional.

Swan Lake (Theme) - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

The celebrated theme from the second act of Tchaikovsky's immortal ballet is a great study in phrasing and musicianship for a young band. There is melodic material for each player and the instrumentation is colorful, but easily within reach of the developing band. Duration: 2' 25"
