Halloween Theme - John Carpenter

This timeless theme from theHalloweenfranchise is one of the creepiest tunes ever written. This accessible arrangement by Michael Story maintains all of the eerie feeling of the original while staying in 4/4.

Halloween Waltz In Five - Robert E. Foster

Ghouls, ghosts and goblins try their best to dance their Halloween night away, but try as they may, it just doesnt turn out right. This quirky tune lets your band frighten and delight your audience with screams, blaring noises and an odd sense of waltz time (3/4 and 2/4 mixed meter). It gives you a great chance to teach mixed meter, and gives your students something really fun to play!

Hambone - Libby Larsen

Libby Larsen used three inspirations from her life to write Hambone. First, she was inspired by early rock 'n roll rhythms, particularly those written by Bo Diddley, from her high school days when she had her own rock band. The second inspiration is the African-American tradition of hamboning - clapping and slapping to create fun, new rhythms, and finally the melodies of the traditional cakewalk, reminiscent of Debussy's Golliwog's Cakewalk. The curriculum explores all three of these inspirations with various musical and visual examples, and explains African American oral traditions, linking this piece to places all over the world, from Ghana and the Ivory Coast to Paris, France. A free downloadable interdisciplinary curriculum for teaching Hambone is available at www.BandQuest.org. Learn more on YouTube! BandQuest, an exciting series of new music and accompanying curricula for band, is a program published by the American Composers Forum. The series was started as a response to feedback from music educators that there is a pressing need for new, fresh band music. The heart of this program is new works written by a diverse group of leading American composers who have created challenging pieces that are a true departure from standard middle school repertoire. Every BandQuest project includes a residency component in which the composer works collaboratively with a middle school as they create their new piece. Many BandQuest pieces are accompanied by an interdisciplinary curriculum designed to assist students as they learn the music and to integrate each piece with non-music studies.
