Eight Chorales for Elementary Band - Quincy C. Hilliard
Considered by many to be one of the country's top music educators, Quincy C. Hilliard has written this set of eight chorales to develop the intonation of your beginning band. These chorales teach much more than lyrical playing by covering the keys of Bb, Eb, and F Major, and time signatures in 4/4, 3/4, and 2/4. Also, all instrumental parts are very easy so you can focus on tone and musicianship. A must for every beginning band library!

Interruption Overture - Steven Bryant
Interruption Overture is the musical inverse of Bryant's Chester Leaps In. In the latter, a familiar theme interrupts angular, dissonant music, whereas Interruption Overture consists of a straightforward theme in Bb major repeatedly interrupted by dissonant chords and bursts of simple aleatory ideas. These techniques are intended to serve as educational tools in addition to their musical function, exposing younger musicians to a broader-than-usual musical palette.

£67.95Forest of Tranquility - Randy Navarre
Forest of Tranquility is our newest work in our very beginning band series. Like all of our compositions in this performance level, your students can play this within the first few months of study. Thus, getting in a very early concert and keeps kids in the band program. This is a gentle sounding song starting in a minor mode, moving to its relative major and back to minor, a sound not often heard for a beginning band at this level. Clarinets do not cross the break. The 1st trumpet's highest note is Bb.
