The Message on the Rock - Robert Sheldon

The musical inspiration for this piece came from the scenes and speeches on a rock emblazoned with battle scenes from our nation's history. The piece opens with a military-sounding march that leads to a solemn section over which a narrator reads the speeches seen on the rock while a muted trumpet plays "Taps" in the background. The initial march then returns, with fragments of numerous patriotic melodies juxtaposed with the original melody, coming to an exciting ending. (4:45) This title is available in SmartMusic.

A brand new, edited version of a truly magnificent march, originally written and published in 1892 by the founder of the publishing company that bears his name. VERY NICE!

The Midday Blues - Robert Thurston

Break through the midday doldrums (or mid-rehearsal doldrums) by having your students "rock out" in a bluesy, rock style piece for young bands. With plenty of percussion and even a "head banging" breakout section, this tune will energize your band and is a perfect tool for teaching the concept of how Blues influenced Rock 'n' Roll.
