Jam on Top was commissioned by Thomas Wittig for the Forest Lakes Elementary School fifth grade band, under the direction of Amy Thornsen, in memory of beloved music teacher, Mr. Dominic (Nick) Selvi. Nick had a passion for jazz and loved playing the style with his students. This piece is written in a standard blues chord progression (with courtesy accidentals written to introduce the blues scale) and can be performed in a straight rock or a swing-jazz feel. Special care should be taken to play all articulations to ensure the proper style. Nick was a saxophonist, and m. 39 could feature a solo, duet, trio or a saxophone soli section. In addition, mm. 39a50 could be opened up to have multiple soloists perform the solo in the style of an open jazz vamp. The drum parts are written for multiple players or could feature one player on drum set and the others improvising on accessory instruments such as cowbell, shaker, tambourine, etc. It is my hope that the performers will use this piece learn about blues chord progressions, blues scales in a pop, rock or jazz style.Jam on Top was commissioned by Thomas Wittig for the Forest Lakes Elementary School fifth grade band, under the direction of Amy Thornsen, in memory of beloved music teacher, Mr. Dominic (Nick) Selvi.

This beautiful piece by newcomer Tyler Arcari is based on a quote by Nelson Mandela - There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living. It is heartfelt and will be a great piece to push the musicianship of your students. Though this piece is technically easy for this level, it is challenging in its sophistication and the depth of emotion and musicianship required to play it well.

A walk through the park or a morning stroll through the forest is what this piece best calls to mind. With its pastoral setting and lush melodies, Velvet Morning will truly showcase your group's mastery of legato playing.Velvet Morning is a warm and colorful work for string orchestra. Please play con sordino if available. The music is a reflection of my love for the orchestral music of Barber, Ravel, Debussy and Satie. It should have the same sense of passion and intensity that those masters employ in their music.The opening tempo is marked rubato, and should speed up then slow down based on the phrases. The main melody appears at m. 11 in the first violins and should have a flowing quality. The harmony does utilize some slight dissonances from time to time which should be emphasized. The violas and cellos take over the melody at m.19 with a counter line in the violins. The melody returns to the violin at m. 27 with a pianistic cello line punctuated by pizzicato in the bass. Some transitional material follows that builds up to a full presentation at m. 47. Let the ensemble open up here with an intense, full sound. This winds down to a return of the introduction at m. 60. The ending should be tender and deliberate all the way to the last plush chord.
