Variations on a Theme of Robert Schumann
In the conductor’s notes by the composer, Robert Jager says, “The theme is ‘The Happy Farmer,’ and the variations evolve one from the other throughout the work using rhythmic, melodic and intervallic relationships for their basis of variance.” This major work, long unavailable, once again brightens the concert band programming of professional, service, collegiate, and quality high school organizations everywhere.

Villages
Calling for the band to be divided into four separate ensembles (and spread apart if space permits), Villages explores a wide range of harmonic and rhythmic interplay between each of these musical “villages.” The opening creates a dense canopy of sound, out of which the unique identity of each group variously emerges then melts back into the texture. As the fast pace continues, melodic fragments are bounced from group to group with interjections from the percussion. A slower lyric section provides contrast before the frantic pace returns leading to the exciting conclusion. Innovative in its conception, this stunning work will expose your students and audience to dramatically new sounds for band! Dur: 8:15SKU: HL04003778 -

Walking into History (The Clinton 12)
In August 1956, Clinton, Tennessee was the the site of one of the most significant events of the American Civil Rights movement as 12 courageous teenagers walked into history becoming the first students to desegregate a state-supported high school in the south.
