Antares (Overture for Band)

Once again Richard Saucedo has created an overture that focuses on brassy fanfares, exciting concert percussion, and tuneful themes coupled with skilled counterline writing. Bands everywhere love to program this type of energetic opener-style overture that is an attention getter from the opening downbeat.

Ante Lucem - Thomas Doss

This meditative work describes the final minutes before the night slips away and officially turns to day, the last few moments before a new dawn. The composition is based on the old Austrian folk tune Auf dem Berg bin i gern which has been used as the main theme in a wonderfully atmospheric way. Calm yet effective!

Antecedium - Ed Huckeby

Antecedium was Ed Huckeby's first published composition for band and this edition makes it better than ever. An exceptional piece for mid-level bands that sounds much more difficult than it plays.

Antecedium - Huckeby

"Antecedium" was Ed Huckeby's first published work, and this magnificent, high-energy overture has been a staple of concert and festival performances ever since. The modal melodies and harmonies provide a uniquely contemporary style when combined with the fresh changing meter elements. The composer has creatively adapted this work for the "Build-A-Band" series, to allow for performance by ensembles with limited or unusual instrumentation. This is a must have!

Anthem (from Chess) - Benny Andersson

From the '80s Broadway musical Chess, the song Anthem has enjoyed renewed popularity due in part to recordings by Josh Groban and Linda Eder. Here is a beautifully effective setting for full concert band of this memorable song.

Anthem for Freedom - Christina Huss

This collaborative work by Christina Huss and R. Alan Carter is offered in the same spirit of unity in which the piece is inspired. Perfect for patriotic concerts, Anthem of Freedom is a wonderful tribute with beautiful writing for all sections of the ensemble.

Anthem for Peace - Ed Huckeby

This beautiful ballad is a wonderful example of Ed Huckeby's lyrical writing style. The masterful orchestration serves to enhance the flowing melodic lines and colorfully unique harmonies. A sensitive alto saxophone solo in the middle section provides a great opportunity to highlight your soloist or sax section. "Anthem For Peace" also provides an opportunity to make a subtle cultural and social "declaration for peace" at your next festival or concert performance. Gorgeous!
