Celebration Prelude (Concert Band - Score Only) - Johnson, Stuart

Celebration Prelude opens with a 30 bar fanfare for brass and percussion and makes this Prelude ideal for a ceremonial or formal occasion, but the piece is equally suitable as a concert-opener. The fanfare theme is then developed in the woodwinds and taken up by the whole wind band, appearing in different guises and with different counter-melodies. Finally, the opening is restated in a much shorter form by the whole band playing fortissimo.

CELESTIAL SONG (Intermediate Concert Band) - Spittal, Robert

Composer Robert Spittal was moved to complete this work in response to the Newtown, CT tragedy in 2012, and serves as a reflection of our complicated feelings of grief and loss. The music is simple and direct, and meant as a hopeful work for young players. Moved by a metaphor describing the victims as "twenty-six new diamonds in the sky" the title is a reference to the stars which we look upward to for inspiration, for hope, and to dream of better things to come.

In the style of Mozart's Kinder Symphony and Haydn's Toy Symphony, this tongue-in-cheek composition not only is great fun for the audience, but also makes a statement about the use of cell phones during concert performances! The classical style is an excellent teaching tool for younger players, while the percussion section has an opportunity to try out their latest ring-tones. This could also feature your Principal, Superintendent, school board members or the Mayor as the "cellular soloists". Duration: 2.10
