The poignant and powerful theme from this inspiring film has been skillfully arranged for band by Johnnie Vinson. A great chance for your band to play outstanding symphonic film music.

Rugby Heritage - William G. Harbinson

Based on a 19th-centuryschool hymn still performed today by students at Rugby Middle School, this composition opens with a fanfare followed by a British-style march. A beautiful, lyrical andante section leads to a restatement of the march. With contrasting dynamics, tempo changes, plenty of independent lines and a tuneful melodic approach this concert or contest composition is perfect for working on musical concepts with young musicians.

Rumanian Folk Dances - Béla Bartók

Bla Bartk (1888 - 1945) showed from the beginning of his career an interest in popular music. He began studying music at the age of five and eventually focused on composition and piano. He collected a lot of popular songs, especially during his studies in Hungary, but also music from Romania and Slovakia. This had a lot of influence on his style. In his compositions, Bartk uses many Hungarian popular themes and rhythms, and even his own original works always refer to the same rhythmic and melodic folk character. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Bartk detached himself from romanticism and began to delineate his style on harmonic procedures based on diminished and augmented intervals, on bitonality, and on marked percussiveness, characteristics that are at the core of popular music.The Romanian Dances are a collection of seven folk dances, originally composed for piano (1915, the first six) and then transcribed for a small symphonic orchestra (1917). Of purely modal language, like almost all Bartk's music, each dance comes from a different area of Romania (Stick Dance, Sash Dance, In One Spot, Horn Dance, Romanian Polka, Fast Dance of Belnyes, and Fast Dance of Nygra).

Rumba de la Tumba - Jarod Hall

Journey into the unknown with this wildly creative piece by JaRod Hall, inspired by the playfully dark film scores of Danny Elfman. Rumba de la Tumba is based on an irresistible Latin-flavored groove while also giving a lighthearted nod to the world of the macabre. Haunting, yet electrifying! (3:20)
