Kehraus (from Masquerade Suite) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Halvorsen, Johan - Noble, Paul

Masquerade Suite was composed by Johan Halvorsen, one of the best-kept secrets of Norway. Not only was he an accomplished violinist and conductor, but also he was among the most prominent Norwegian composers in the generation following Edvard Grieg. His compositions develop the national Romantic tradition of his friends Grieg and Svendsen, but his was a distinctive style marked by brilliant orchestration inspired by the French Romantic composers. The original version of Masquerade Suite had nine movements. Paul Noble has selected five of the most suitable movements for band transcription and grouped them into this beautiful suite. The U.S. Navy Band in Washington, D.C. gave the premiere performance of this work. The first movement, Holberg Overture, sets the mood, pace, and musical themes for the entire suite, with rousing opening themes, followed by a grand fugue in the development section. This is clearly a piece for accomplished bands, giving all wind players a real workout. Each of the succeeding movements has a distinctive style, making the suite a significant addition to the repertoire of the Concert Band. Especially noteworthy is the Arietta, the easiest of the movements, and can easily stand alone with its haunting flute and oboe melodies and dramatic crescendo, the crisp solos in the Molinasque, and the final movement, which is very much like a circus march, fast, lively and short!

Kein Schoner Land (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Oswald, Gerald

Kein schner Land is surely one of the best-known of all German folk songs. The song recounts the story of a group of friends who spend a happy evening singing.The arrangement by Gerald Oswald begins with an evening mood, followed then by the theme in various instruments and in different forms. After a grandioso, the composition returns to the evening mood. Kein schoner Land is a timeless folk song that we still take to our hearts even today.Duration: 6:00

Keltic Variations (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hazo, Samuel R.

Themes in Keltic Variations are based on a style of sea chanteys sung by sailors in north western Europe. Written for students at middle and high school levels, Keltic Variations introduces the musical form of simple theme and variations in an artful balance that falls well on audiences' ears but can also serve as a music lesson in modes and rhythms.Duration: 2:45

Kennesaw Mountain Celebration

Commissioned by and dedicated to Kennesaw Mountain High School, Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia, this exciting concert overture will be a sure hit with your students. The intense opening moments immediately lead us to a brassy fanfare interlude. A secondary rhythmic dialogue between brass and woodwinds punctuates a flowing main theme. The slower middle section is a gracefully simple melody that offers a flowing contrast to the rhythmic intensity of the faster outer sections. Reminiscent of this composer's earlier composition "Fire Dance," "Kennesaw Mountain Celebration" is certain to be one of your student's favorites.

Kentucky 1800 (Flexible Ensemble - Score and Parts) - Grundman, Clare - Longfield, Robert

Originally published in 1955, Clare Grundman's masterful setting of early American folk tunes remains a young band staple for contest and festival. Skilfully adapted here for flexible instrumentation, this classic work is now playable by a wide variety of mixed and smaller ensembles.

KENTUCKY 1800 (Young Band) - Grundman, Clare

This classic work for young bands has stood the test of time and continues to appear on many state required lists. Based on three American folk songs (The Promised Land, Cindy and I'm Sad and I'm Lonely) it works just well for programming on lighter concerts as it does for contests and festivals. A trusted favourite. (Grade 3) (4:15)
