Courage & Compassion

Courage (March) - Harold Bennett

Courage March is one of the most popular of the Harold Bennett marches. It is now presented here in a flexible instrumentation edition for bands with instrumentation needs. Tuneful and very fun to play, Courage March will make every band sound their best, and is a good choice for a smaller group to use for contest warm-up. Check out the excerpted version of the recording to see how well the five-part scoring really works.

Courage Of The Cossacks - Ed Kiefer

Courage of the Cossacks is a refreshing march in the style of Russian folk music, offering a break from the standard American march style for festival performance. Composer Ed Kiefer has scored this piece to sound sonorous throughout while highlighting all sections of the band. Directors looking for a unique march need look no further.

Courageous Spirit - Michael Kamuf

Courageous Spirit, by Michael Kamuf, is a musical celebration of the bravery we summon in the face of uncertainty. The piece features bold and contrasting melodies, making it an ideal choice to reinforce slurs and accents with your students. Additionally, the work provides an opportunity to support and explore the SEL competency of Responsible Decision-Making during rehearsals. Whether as an opening or closing selection, this piece is perfect for your next concert! (1:40)

Court of the Noble Trumpeteers - Timothy Loest

This innovative trumpet feature gives you the unique option of using two groups of antiphonal trumpets set up on either side of the band. All instruments use just six notes in this excellent opener or trumpet feature for your next concert. The piece uses only two dynamic levels and helps you teach accents and staccatos. For added visual splendor, consider having your "trumpeteers" hang colorful pennants from their instruments. Very easy.

Courtland Hills - Roland Barrett

Fresh and invigorating with a contemporary sound from this talented composer. Prominent percussion writing with contrasting styles makes this a real stand out among young band works. ( 1 minute 23 seconds)

Courtly Dance and Procession - Brian Balmages

You'll be surprised to know that this great sounding work uses only six notes in all instruments, with the exception of the clarinets, which use a low written B to involve the right hand. The piece has a Renaissance quality to it and includes a middle processional theme (at the same tempo) to work on legato playing. Optional parts are included for clarinet 2 and trumpet 2. There is something for everyone in this dynamic addition to the repertoire!
