A very strong choice for concert or contest use by very young bands, this attractive James Swearingen original evokes the first battle of the Revolutionary War and provides the director with a interesting tie-in to history classes. Ranges are reasonable. Clarinets are all below the break. An excellent teaching piece, Swearingen includes all of the elements of his music which have made his compositions both so popular and playable. Highly Recommended!

Suite (From Der Rosenkavalier) - Richard Strauss
Richard Strauss (1864-1949) is mainly known for his symphonic poems such as Don Juan, Also Sprach Zarathustra, Ein Heldenleben,... However, he also wrote many operas and "Der Rosenkavalier" (created in 1911 in Dresden) with a libretto by Von Hofmannsthal is probably the most popular of them all. In our "Jan Cober Series", we would like to present this very special arrangement of the suite from "Der Rosenkavalier". Jan Cober worked extensively on this arrangement and carefully composed this new suite. In this respect, he preserved the necessary mood and vitality of Strauss's music so it could be played by a brass band. He has done this without losing sight of the musicaltension of the original.

Fort Fincastle was built in the Bahamas in 1793, constructed in the form of a ship's bow so as to fool passing ships.
