Tangents
The term “tangent” appears in geometry, art and language, and can describe lines, shapes or thoughts that connect or touch, but do not cross or overlap. In this exciting and creative work for young bands, Michael Oare uses contrasting marcato and legato themes along with an underlying rhythmic ostinate to create an unsettled yet dramatic sense of “going off on a tangent.”SKU: HLPC22982 -

The Holly and the Ivy
Adorn your holiday concerts with this charming new setting of a familiar English carol. To open, we hear a jubilant proclamation leading to a presentation of the melody in 4/4 by the trumpets, supported with clarinets and light percussion. Soon, the low brass revels in the theme while the woodwinds festoon and decorate. Spirits are lifted with a change of key until we are gradually transported to a gentle variation in 3/4 where all is calm. It isn’t long before we hear the exuberant melody again and all is brought to a joyous conclusion. You’ll be programming this one for years to come.SKU: AL37790 -

The Legend of Castle Armagh
Commissioned by the Cabarrus All-County Middle School Band (Concord, North Carolina), this work was inspired by the composer’s Irish heritage and the rich history of Ireland.

The second theme describes the great hall of a majestic medieval castle, complete with vibrant colors and pageantry. The exciting “battle” theme follows and ultimately resolves to a return of the earlier themes. A wonderfully effective setting for beginning players! Dur: 3:10SKU: HL04002428 -
