Largo (from the New World Symphony)
AntonÃn Dvorák’s “Largo” from his 9th Symphony From the New World is a favorite for audiences here and abroad for its simplistic, yet moving melody. Paul Cook’s stirring arrangement brings Dvorák’s cherished theme to your beginners. The percussion parts can be performed as written or eliminated for a more traditional setting. Aside from adding some musical history, this arrangement supports instruction of balanced dynamics, proper breath support, and tone quality.SKU: AL35354 -

Rhapsody in Blue
Classic Gershwin, Rhapsody in Blue is music all students should have the opportunity to hear and enjoy. The history of this composition dates back to 1924. Since then, it’s been recorded and performed countless times, and now it’s your turn. Take notice that master arranger Paul Cook scores it for the younger band yet still captures the essence of this beautiful melody, all the color, and even the trademark counter-melody toward the end. With the exception of a brief tenor sax solo on the melody, it’s all rich and full sounding ensemble, ideal for teaching phrasing. Flexible instrumentation along with easy brass demands and simple rhythms make this one a winner!SKU: ALJEM00029 -
