Rising Star - Samuel R. Hazo

This very easy composition by Samuel Hazo was designed specifically to provide beginning players the opportunity to experience a lush and chorale-like setting. With nothing faster than a quarter note, this is an excellent vehiclefor teaching concepts such as independent moving lines, phrasing, balance and dynamic contrasts. Dur: 2:45

Risoluto - James Barnes

Risoluto is a music term of Italian derivation, first appearing in the mid 1700s. A great many musical terms such as this are in Italian, because many of the important composers from the Renaissance to the Baroque were from the geographic area known today as Italy and spoke some form of Italian. Consequently, performance markings in their published music, widely disseminated through the rest of Europe, were in the language that they best understood. Music marked in this manner is to be played firmly and decisively with firm resolve and little variance from the marked tempo. It can be seen that while there are several stylistic changes in this piece, the tempo varies not a bit, holding firm at Allegro vivo, quarter note at 120, from first measure to last.

Rite of Passage - Brian Balmages

A beginning band piece limited to a 6-note range, Rite of Passage will have your band playing together in very little time. Utilizing smaller chamber sections as well as the full band, this is an excellent teaching piece. With no clarinets over the break and no trumpets higher than a written A, this is a very easy Grade 1 concert march.
