Kinder Symphony
Leopold Mozart wrote his Kinder Symphony (“Children’s Symphony”) to charm young people especially. This arrangement incorporates the two main melodies in the original symphony and reduces their length to about four minutes. As in the original, there are “holes” where various sounds, other than musical, should be sounded. Before playing Kinder Symphony, the “sounds” will need to be assigned. This will be great fun for your audiences as well as players.SKU: AL22267 -

Concert Band, Concert Band Grade: 2Like a Mighty Stream (for Concert Band and Narrator) (Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.)

Loch Lomond
Here are two contrasting treatments of this beautiful Scottish tune in a unique arrangement for young band. The tune is first presented using the lush harmonies, full textures and interesting inner lines that have become a Dave Black trademark. The second treatment is an enchanting dance-like march in 6/8 time that starts with a snare drum introduction, followed by open fifths in the low brass. The tune is developed with the addition of a woodwind countermelody before a final statement of the tune brings the piece to a close. Great for working on phrasing, balance and dynamics. And every section gets their share of the melodic action! (2:30)SKU: AL17121
