Young Band Marches
13 of John Edmondson's best Concert Marches for Young Band!

Based on the familiar Lutheran hymn "Children Of The Heavenly Father," this unique setting retains the reverent mood of the well known hymn. It begins simply and ends simply, with the development of the melody in between highlighting the arranger's skill. This setting is perfect for contest, festival or concert program.

Having started his career in North Carolina, composer Jack Stamp feels a special connection to the state and its people in this exciting symphonic work. The composer pays tribute by writing evocative tone poems about three locales. the third movement features antiphonal treatments of hymn tunes, and the fourth is a raucous interpretation of the ballad "Two Sisters."

This selection is imbued with an atmosphere of quiet contemplation and peaceful reverie.  Like the shimmering appearance of falling snow, the orchestration features constantly shifting textures and gorgeous coloration.  It'll make the perfect counterpart to an energetic selection in your next concert program.

Add some triumphant panache to your next concert with this spirited march.  Featuring question and answer melodic phrases, all the sections will get a chance to share in the fun.  "Heritage Bay" is sure to delight.
