A Celtic Celebration
As the title suggests, this wonderful work presents three Celtic folk favorites in a very playable fashion for Grade 1 bands. Songs included are “Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes,” “Wearing of the Green” and “My Wild Irish Rose.” As always for the Mini-Score Series, careful attention has been given to ensure all prominent parts are doubled, allowing for any instrumental “shortcomings” one may encounter. A Celtic Celebration is another winner from John Kinyon!

Blue Ridge Rhapsody
In A-B-A form, this piece consists of two major themes, both of which are stated in the 16-measure introductory section. Although the composition is in large part romantic in style, it offers young performers an opportunity to experience the spritely 6/8 of the Allegro moderato as well as the romantic legato of the Andante cantabile section.

Olympic March
This crowd-pleasing original march is a throw-back to the old-time circus marches, complete with fanfare, countermelodies and low-brass glissandi!

Theme from “The Moldau”

The parts are written well within the capabilities of young performers while keeping the essence of the original. This will add more than a little class to your next concert!SKU: AL16526 -

Wildwind Overture
This sensitive work introduces the young concert band to the classic overture form. A Maestoso introduction sets the mood for a soft and simple flute and clarinet melody. It then segues to a smooth Moderato 3/4 section accented with bells and a cornet counterline. (Grade 1)SKU: AL5105 -

Wind Chimes

If you are interested in a concert selection that will give your low brass players a chance to demonstrate their skill at playing firmly attacked bell tones and accented, punchy melodies, this is just what you’re looking for.
