Experience the high seas with this programmatic work for full orchestra complete with mystery, adventure, sword battles and buried treasure. A multitude of effects add to the drama and intensity, including the unique sound of glissando cello harmonics simulating the sound of seagulls on a desert island. This arrangement includes optional parts for your concert band members as well (not playable by concert band alone) to give you added performance flexibility and possibly combine your two groups.

This fantastic and playable suite of themes from the popular opera Carmen includes the Opening Bugle Call and March of the Dragoons, the famous Habanera, the beautiful Entr'acte to Act III - Intermezzo, and the soaring, spirited music of the Final Act. A great way to showcase your students playing some of the most famous and enjoyable opera music in the repertoire! (6:00)
This spectacular arrangement features four movements from Tchaikovsky's famous Album for the Young. Opening with the endearing Morning Prayer, the piece then moves into the lighthearted waltz, The Hurdy-Gurdy Man. The beautiful Sweet Dream sets the stage for the delightful last movement, March of the Wooden Soldiers. Remarkably faithful to the original while also quite accessible to younger students!
