Buffalo Bill - Thierry Deleruyelle

Buffalo Bill takes us on a journey into the world of 19th-century American pioneers, cowboys and Native Americans, through a musical fresco combining an incantatory melody, a majestic theme and a faster section that plunges us into the heart of a buffalo hunt. This work was commissioned by the Orchestre d'harmonie de Montrouge, in France, the town that hosted Buffalo Bill's show at the 1889 Universal Exhibition and where the Buffalo district still stands.

Buffalo Jump Ritual - Daniel Bukvich

This imaginative work is a musical adventure that recalls the traditional buffalo hunts that took place on the western plains of America. As youd expect, there is an overall Native American feel to the music, as the drama and excitement of the hunt is recreated through a myriad of aggressive elements that drive the piece. ( 7 minutes 12 seconds)

Buffalo Rock - A Royal Portrait - James Rae

James Rae is the man who put fun into woodwind and brass teaching. His many compositions, especially in the jazz and blues idioms, have often featured on examination syllabuses. Recent years have seen his publications of easy flexible ensembles for younger players and now he turns his attention to the wind band. In his series The Concert Band Collection, he has written exciting new pieces for the standard concert band line up. Attention is given to each instrument so that the technical and musical requirements do not exceed UK Grade 2. An optional piano part will provide "stuffing" and moral support for the young players who will quickly enjoy James' catchy and imaginative music. Each volume contains two titles. Buffalo RockThis piece has been specifically composed for bands in their early stages of development. All instrumental parts have been written in comfortable keys and ranges with all clarinet parts staying entirely in the low register. After a short, powerful introduction, the music immediately kicks in to a driving rock mode, setting the scene for the remainder of the piece. Strong rhythmic playing is required from all sections of the band in order to achieve a solid performance. A Royal PortraitThis piece is very regal in style and portrays all the pomp and circumstance that surrounds a high-profile state occasion. It is to be performed with a full, warm sound and players must resist the temptation to overblow as this could have a detrimental effect on tone quality and intonation. As with Buffalo Rock, the instrumental parts have been written in comfortable keys and ranges with all clarinet parts staying entirely in the low register.
