Steve Hodges

A dynamic introduction leads to a stirring trumpet duet that opens this regal march by Steve Hodges. Everyone is involved in the melodic content throughout the piece and they will enjoy the unique treatment of the standard march trio and ‘dogfight’ sections. A great way to open or close a concert!

Take a ride down the rapids with this exciting new piece by Steve Hodges. Based on the Dorian mode, the melodies are shared by all sections of the band throughout the piece. The driving accompaniment of the first section is complemented well by the flowing triple-meter patterns of the middle section. From the opening measure to the dynamic conclusion, your young band will thoroughly enjoy this adventure!

With this lively piece you are in for a toe-tappin’, hand-clappin’ good time! Everyone takes a turn playing the theme while the woodwinds do their best “fiddle” imitations! A great addition to your library.

What a wonderful way to add variety to your band’s holiday performances! Beginning and ending softly with drum and finger cymbals, this arrangement effectively develops and combines the melodies of “La Marche des Rois” and “We Three Kings” into a powerful march. With interesting countermelodies, optional solos, a contrasting trio section and some dynamic low brass and percussion writing, this creative arrangement will be a hit with your band and audience.
