The Blue and The Gray - Nancy H. Seward

Music from the Civil War, concluding with The Battle Hymn of the Republic, this is a great teaching piece, not only musically, but in interdisciplinary ways, including history, social studies and geography. ( 2 minutes 35 seconds)

The Blue and the Gray (Civil War Suite) - Clare Grundman

Published in 1961 commemorating the start of the Civil War 100 years before, Clare Grundman's classic work has become a staple in the repertoire. Robert Longfield's adaptation for younger bands maintains the character of the original as well as all of the tunes, but in a shorter and more concise setting.

The Blue Danube (An der schnen blauen Donau) - Johann Strauss

The Blue Iguana - Robert Longfield

Here is a solid teaching piece for beginning bands featuring an infectious rhythmic groove and a contemporary Latin feel. The tuneful melody is passed around to all sections, and the percussion section is featured throughout. The First Concepts Series features simplified instrumentations, unison bass lines, optional advanced snare drum parts, and optional piano accompaniments.

The Blue Pennant - C.J.N. Cori

The Blue Ridge - Robert Sheldon

The Blue Ridge Mountains have a rich history of folk music handed down by the families of the settlers in this region. Four of these wonderful songs have been included in this setting for concert band: the spirited "Jack-a-Roe," the haunting "Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies," the very popular "Tom Dooley" (arranged here in a most unexpected manner), and finally, the beautiful "Barbara Allen." (6:15)

The Blue Window - Robert W. Smith

Inspired by "The Blue Window" by Henri Matisse, this lyrical statement for alto saxophone and band is a subdued departure from the more colorful and powerful movements of "Three Conversations With Matisse". Reflective and poignant, your soloist, ensemble and audience will be quietly enthralled in a musical setting that harkens to days gone by. Simply stated....beautiful.
