Creepy Crawlies
Well, you’ve probably heard of tributes to almost everything, but how about a tribute to bugs? Yes, with tongue very much in cheek, Michael Story has penned this original novelty to bring more than just a snicker from your audiences. Hear the insect as it approaches (your trumpet section playing on mouthpieces) and a resounding “slap” as the culprit is sent to greener pastures. Add some visuals from the band as the insect “circles,” and you have yourself a guaranteed successful concert moment. For you environmentalists: No harmful pesticides are included. (Oh my, that’s “OFF”-ful!) (1:45)SKU: ALBD9951 -

Solid scoring and a strong rhythmic foundation allow the band to really lay back and put themselves into the “cruise control” setting! This is a great learning tool introducing elements of the swing and jazz genres to the young band.SKU: AL33838 -

Dona Nobis Pacem
In the rich chalumeau register, a solo (or soli) clarinet voice quietly introduces the hauntingly beautiful melody. Layering into the texture, other voices add timbre and depth. The phrasing is exquisite, and teaching opportunities for legato playing abound. A modulation from B-flat to E-flat allows even more sonorities as the work moves to its conclusion. Serious music educators should look closely at this piece. (duration 2:40)
