Ostinato (from Suite Antique) (Flute Solo with Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul

Suite Antique is a 1979 concertante work by John Rutter that is written for harpsichord, flute and string orchestra. Rutter composed the piece, in six movements, for a concert at which Bach's fifth Brandenburg concerto was to be performed, and so decided to write the piece for the same ensemble. This arrangement for Concert/Wind Band and Solo Flute adheres to the original presentation, but is expanded for a full band accompaniment to the solo flute. The harpsichord is optional, being cued elsewhere, but may be performed as in the original score by either harpsichord or an electronic keyboard with a similar setting. A jazz drumset is optionally included in the fourth (jazz waltz) movement, and other percussion discretely added in other movements. It is exciting to hear earlier musical forms brought into today's music appreciation, and this setting of a flute solo with band is especially refreshing for both soloist and band.

Our American Heroes (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Swearingen, James

The inspiration that motivates composers to create music often originates from a multitude of different sources. Numerous band director friends have suggested the creation of a patriotic selection that honors military personnel, both past and present. They also requested that lyrics be included so as to allow their choir colleagues to join in creating a spectacular grand finale. I sincerely hope that your audiences, both young and old, will enjoy this musical salute to America's lasting heroes. A real crowd-pleaser! Duration: 1.30
