Sketches of Pain - Øyvind Moe

Sketches of Pain was composed for Kristiansand Blseensemble in 2005, and consists of a series of short movements exploring the same material in different ways. The title refers to the format of the piece - essentially a collection of sketches - as well as the artistic "pain" of ideas that never develop into something more substantial.

Sketches on an Olde English Song - Timothy Johnson

The lilting joy of a compound triple meter piece is a great way to add contrast to your concert. "Sketches on an Olde English Song" keeps that wonderful 6/8 momentum rolling along nicely. As bands start moving intomore challenging pieces, it's important that the musicians develop facility with 6/8 and 9/8 time. This arrangement is a great way to take your group to the next level. Dur: 4:30

Skill Stretchers For Band - Hoefle

Not a warm-up...not a chorale. Skill Stretchers are a way to efficiently move your band beyond the first five notes by working to extend ranges, accidentals and key signatures (in a way that students discover for themselves!). In addition, Skill Stretchers prepare the clarinets to go over the break, introduce lip slurs for brass as well as octave slurs for other woodwinds. Accents, flams, paradiddles and nine-stroke rolls are included for the snare drum. Octaves and arpeggios are introduced to mallet percussion. Skill Stretchers are a supplement to any band method. Used for a few minutes daily, they provide a systematic way to conquer many of the individual challenges that occur with each instrument.
