Free Ride - Dan Hartman

Recorded by the Edgar Winter Group in 1973, here is a classic rock tune that has stood the test of time! Paul Murtha's solid arrangement for concert band skillfully preserves the distinctive riffs and driving energy of theoriginal.

Free Running - Robert Buckley

Free Running is an exciting, high velocity tour-de-force that will keep both musicians and the audience on the edge of their seats. Inspiration for the work came from the pointillistic paintings of Seurat (who created images by using tiny spots of primary colors on his canvas) and from Parkour, a form of urban acrobatics in which participants, known as free runners, use the structures of the rural landscape to perform catlike leaps and sprints. The resulting creation is a non-stop piece of music made up of only staccato notes in a constant rhythm moving through different sections of the ensemble. Free Running was commissioned by the Troy University Symphony Band for the 2011Alabama Music Educators Association Convention. Ideal for concert or festival use, it is guaranteed to leave the audience breathless! Dur: 5:10Recorded by the Troy University Symphony Band - Ralph Ford, conductor

Free Spirit Overture - Jerry Williams

The perfect overture for smaller bands. Sounds much more difficult than it really is and it's scored to minimize problems caused by less than a perfect instrumentation. This energetic, forceful overture with a lyrical middle section that is second to none at this grade level.

Free Time Blues - Dennis Armitage

Free World Fantasy - Jacob de Haan

This piece was commissioned by the Dutch province of Groningen for the celebrations commemorating the liberation festivities in 1987. In the composition, the dream of a world without war is symbolized. It is the first composition in a series in which Jacob de Haan combines concert music with pop music in a style, which reminds one of film music. Later compositions in which he has reaped much success with the same formula in style are Oregon, La Storia and Utopia.
