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 -

Knights of the Royal Realm (Concert March)
With a British flair and grandiose-style, this original march incorporates two distinct themes. Robert W. Smith explains that “Knights of the Royal Realm” was inspired by the musical life and talents of Sir Vivian Dunn, a British conductor of international acclaim. Sir Vivian’s stately manner and warm personality left a lasting impression on him as a young composer. Mr. Smith pays tribute to those lasting memories and Sir Vivian’s impact on the American band movement through this charming march for the concert band.SKU: AL24732 -

With tempo markings like Allegro con passione and Prestissimo con fuego, this work includes all the passion and fire needed to grab the audience at your next concert.

The piece was written to celebrate her zeal and dedicated service as a Duncanville band director and was premiered at the 2009 Byrd Middle School Spring concert, with Mrs. Shine as featured clarinetist.SKU: AL36696 -

Lassus Trombone
Henry Fillmore is best known for his outpouring of successful marches. This becomes even more impressive when one realizes that he also wrote under eight names.

Larry Clark greatly reduces any technical difficulties, leaving intact the great glissando effects that your audiences (and your trombone players) will love! (2:33)SKU: ALBD9865 -
