Wolverine Trail is a concert march for beginning bands and is rather helpful in introducing beginners to the march form and style. This piece is based in the key of Eb major and uses only the first seven notes taught in most method books. It is also rhythmically accessible to beginners, as simple eighth-note combinations are the most difficult rhythms in this march. The piece follows standard march form except that is does not modulate at the trio section.
When writing this piece, I was thinking of my beginning band students at Polk County Middle School. Our school is located at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and is surrounded by dense pine forests. The mascot of our school is rather fittingly the wolverine; hence, our school is located on the street named “Wolverine Trail.” Learning to be a musician is not an easy trial, as it requires hard work, dedication, and endurance. However, the trail to becoming a musician is full of rewarding and breathtaking experiences. As I wrote this piece, I was inspired by the rugged beauty of our school’s location and also how I am helping my beginner students to start on the trail to becoming mature musicians.Wolverine Trail is a concert march for beginning bands and is rather helpful in introducing beginners to the march form and style.

It is also rhythmically accessible to beginners, as simple eighth-note combinations are the most difficult rhythms in this march. The piece follows standard march form except that is does not modulate at the trio section which begins at m. 57. It is my hope that this piece will help you and your beginners start your own musical trailblazing.

Pre-Pop is has is a five-movement work composed for beginner bands and can be played with a minimum of four players (+ percussion). It is of course also suitable for a full beginner band. The five contrasting movements are titled: March of the Planets, Lonely Stranger, Pagode, Lost in the World and Hot Pepper Boogie. Your players are certain to enjoy playing this work of great contrasts.

Pre-Pop ist ein attraktives fünfsätziges Werk, das sich für Anfängerorchester unterschiedlicher Besetzungen eignet. Auf einen modern klingenden ‚Astronauten-Marsch’ mit viel Schlagzeug folgt eine langsame Ballade, in der die Einsamkeit der unbekannten Welt musikalisch spürbar wird. Mit Pagode schließt sich ein ruhiger Satz mit orientalischem Einschlag an, bevor der langsame Walzer Lost in the Wind dem Publikum erlaubt, seinen Gedanken freien Lauf zu lassen. Den Schluss dieser leichten, abwechslungsreichen, abwechslungsreich Komposition macht ein schwung- und temperamentvoller Klassiker: der Boogie-Woogie.

Pre-pop s’inscrit dans la lignée d’Inter-pop. Cette œuvre plaisante et divertissante, écrite quatre voix avec percussions, est parfaitement adaptée aux Orchestres Juniors. Une marche moderne, une ballade lente, une musique orientale, une valse lente et un boogie-woogie aux accents de swing constituent cette mosa que en cinq mouvements. Soyez créatifs !

Looking for a reason to have the band wear shades? Here’s the answer! Nice little bass riff, splashy piano chords and finger snaps set up this chart perfectly. Great motivic development and some weaving lives add to the character of the piece. Have some fun with this one!

Perfect for late-beginner and early-intermediate orchestras, this work features simple eighth-note ostinatos; dramatic melodies; and a bold, cinematic sound. Rhythmic independence is limited, and the notes can all be played on the D and A strings (G string for the basses). But the piece retains a mature style that students will love.

This composition is based on the life of the German cavalry general Hans Michael Elias von Obentraut (1574-1625), who was known for his nerve, loyalty and courage. The figure Van Obentraut is closely connected to the town of Seelze, where he died a heroic death and where a monument was erected in his honor. The work consists of four movements in which various aspects of this historical figure are featured. What is extra special about this work is the fact that its firs movement (Hymn for a Hero) had been made available as an easy version for flexible band. This makes it possible for a youth of beginner band to play along with a band of adults or advanced players. This hymn can also be played as a separate piece.
