It has been difficult to find mature sounding arrangements of patriotic music for the Grade 1 band.

£49.99On a Renaissance Carol - James Curnow
It's sometimes hard to find just the right piece for that middle ground between the grade 2 young band and the fully functioning grade 3 group. The importance of this growth period in the band's musicality is often overlooked byband composers. James Curnow's On a Renaissance Carol is a great intermediate step with its slightly more exposed orchestration and integral independence of parts. Subtle phrasing, dynamics and stylistic considerations helpyou take your group to new heights.

£115.60Hymne til gleden - Ludwig van Beethoven
Schiller's text of 1785 was partially used by Beethoven in1824 when he did finish the 4th movement of his 9th Symphony. The melody has later been used in very many contexts. As the anthem of the European Union, a lot of movies (A clockwork Orange, Die Hard, etc.), music to video games, as the anthem of Rhodesia, as rebel song in Chile and by FIFA. Therefore, it can be used in most settings This Young Band arrangement focuses on the main melody. In the original, the B part is repeated in each variation, but to get three variations (out of four), this repetition has been cut. The first variation should be played as soft as possible, but still with a nice sound. Crescendo to forte(f) and going back to pp should be as a surprise.
