Canticle All Creatures Of Our God and King - Claude T. Smith

An exceptional work based upon the well-known hymntune. Both musical and sonorous, the composer extracts every ounce of power available in the spectacular conclusion. Adding to the finale is an optional organ part, making it especially effective a concert closer. This is one of several sacred settings available from the talented pen of Claude T. Smith. (5 minutes, 45 seconds)

Jubilation! Ring in the season with this inspired treatment of Mendelssohn's Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.

Essential repeated sight rhythms and careful attention to articulations ensure that you will be able to prepare this for performance early in the academic year while reinforcing important technical skills all along the way. This one is a joy to rehearse and perform.Captivating!

Canticle of Celebration - Timothy Johnson

Jubiloso, maestoso, tranquillo, lyrico, dynamic detail, captivating rhythms, woodwind choir, brass choir and more! All the elements of a great grade 3 festival piece are here. Tutti sections contrast with subtle and delicate scoring as this melodic masterpiece weaves its magic around the beautiful hymn What Wondrous Love is This? Careful attention has been paid to cross cueing so that bands that are missing an instrument here or there can still do a credible interpretation. Memorable!

Canticle of freedom - Aaron Copland

Mother Earth VI. Epilogue Recorded live in concert in December 2013 by the Orchestre Vents Non Identifi (OVNI) of Montreal - Mr. Jonathan Dagenais, conductor

Canticle of the Saints - Ed Huckeby

An exciting Ed Huckeby composition that creates an energetic atmosphere of jubilance within the framework of the traditional overture style. Creative changing meter, syncopation and dramatic rhythmic drive, contrasting with the flowing melodic lines in the Andante section, this piece a real "winner" for contest and competition performances.
