Dedication Fanfare - William Schuman

Dedication For Band - Joseph Turrin

American composer Joseph Turrin is acclaimed for his work with symphony orchestras, classical performers, theater and film as well as his works for school bands. With Dedication for Band he brings a significant addition to the repertoire for mature ensembles. The work is based on five melodic ideas that reoccur throughout the piece, including an opening fanfare that introduces the main theme. With a concentration on climactic tension and expansiveness, this is a masterful and dynamic composition for band.

Dedication, March & Celebration - James Swearingen

Excellent teaching piece as well as an outstanding concert or contest selection. Full of Swearingen's delightful melodies, tasteful harmonies and spirited rhythms, it contains a number of effective percussion parts to keep your percussionists involved and interested. Every section of the band gets a chance to shine and it's sure to be a favorite of students and audiences alike!

Dedicatory Fanfare

Dedicatory Overture - Clifton Williams

This notable work has remained a model for the band overture format, with an entire movement growing out of the opening fanfare. From the gifted pen of Clifton Williams, this overture continues to be an exceptionally popular work, and deservedly so!

Dedicatum - Timothy Loest

This exciting new overture begins with a bold unison statement presented under an upper woodwind ostinato. The unison statement continues to develop until it is presented in full harmony. Softer treatments of the melody along with lyrical passages full of suspensions all contribute to the overall quality of the piece. Excellent writing!

Deep Blue - Fritz Neuböck
