Don’t Stop Me Now
Although this tune by iconic band Queen met with a rather cool reception when it was first released in 1979, over the years it has become one of the bands most popular songs thanks in part to frequent use in advertising, television and film. Featuring trademark tight harmonies and a dramatic style shift from moderate ballad to double time rock, this arrangement will sound terrific even with young players.SKU: HL04004606 -

Dona Nobis Pacem
In the rich chalumeau register, a solo (or soli) clarinet voice quietly introduces the hauntingly beautiful melody. Layering into the texture, other voices add timbre and depth. The phrasing is exquisite, and teaching opportunities for legato playing abound. A modulation from B-flat to E-flat allows even more sonorities as the work moves to its conclusion. Serious music educators should look closely at this piece. (duration 2:40)

Down to the Sea in Ships (from the NBC TV Film Project 20)
An outgrowth of NBC’s 1952 successful tele-documentary Victory at Sea, was Project 20 two years later: a 30-episode series that was scored completely by Robert Russell Bennett. The episode, called “Down to the Sea in Ships,” utilized this score that initially aired in December of 1968. The magic of the sea, the beauty of ships, and fascination for the men who sail them, are fully explored in this five-movement epic work that relies heavily on sea shanties and folk material. In regarding the work in Bennett’s own words, it “had a lot to tell us about our struggles, triumphs, and defeats on the mighty ocean.” The movements are titled; “The Way of the Ship,” “Mists and Mystery,” “Songs of the Salty Air,” “Waltz of the Clipper Ships,” and “Finale, Introducing the S.S. Eagle March.” This fresh, carefully edited concert band transcription has been extensively researched and will be a cherished addition to serious band literature for generations to come.
