Ode an die Musik - Stephan Jaeggi

Ode and Jubilation - Gerald Sebesky

As the title implies, there is a dichotomy of spirit within the contrasting sections. But, there is also a mutual thematic development which makes this composition unique. After beginning with a lyrical introduction in which the trumpet invokes an expressive solo passage, the work then progresses with an energetic rhythmic pattern which offers and leads to a joyful spirit of celebration. A recapitulation of the original theme forms a variation to the end. This distinctive composition was selected by the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation to receive the NJSCA Fellowship award. Very nice!

Ode For St. Cecilia's Day

Ode For Trumpet - Alfred Reed

Ode To Christmas

Ode to Christmas is a unique combination of holiday favorites with Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" from his Ninth Symphony. This clever arrangement by Bill Calhoun is perfect for the very first holiday concert. It can be performed by early players as there are limited note ranges and rhythms. A delightful choice for the beginning band.
