In 1917 two ships collided in the harbor of Halifax, Canada. The resulting explosion devastated most of the city.

Ideal as a festival or memorial piece, this work is an opportunity for your ensemble to explore softer dynamics, expression and nuance. Dur: 5:05SKU: HL04005355 -

An ecossaise, derived from the French word for “Scottish,” was a dance that was very popular in Europe in the early nineteenth century. Beethoven was enamored with the music of the British Isles, and composed this work in 1810; though he withheld it from publication, it was published posthumously. Beethoven’s humor and playfulness abound in this delightful arrangement for young players. (1:35)SKU: AL44164 -

El Capitan ranks high in his list of classics. The first several strains are written in six-eight, and the last strains in two-four, giving a unique change of character. This scoring has reduced the technical difficulties while keeping the integrity of this well-known work. (2:21)SKU: ALBD9934 -
