The High School Cadets March

Here’s a Karl King march that is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser! “The Attorney General” has all the hallmarks of great King marches – tuneful melodies, exciting countermelodies, and that unique sound you’ll only find in a “Kingtune!” Exciting parts for all sections of the band make this a sure favorite for performers as well as audiences. Brilliant writing from one of America’s best band music composers, this one gets our highest recommendation!

The Attorney General

“Light Cavalry Overture” contains some of the best-known melodies of the classical repertoire, and this “Gems of the Concert Band” arrangement by Andrew Glover presents this time-honored classic in an accessible arrangement for band. After a dramatic opening featuring brass fanfares, the famous cavalry theme kicks in. Great fun for performers and a treat for audiences, this is a great way to introduce your ensemble to this famous classic work. Top notch!

Light Cavalry Overture

Every now and then we are fortunate enough to know people who make lasting impressions, seem larger than life, and are just memorable. “A Life Well Lived” by Rob Romeyn, dedicated to the memory of his lifelong friend Jeff Norman, presents a powerful and triumphant message of personal courage, strength, and grace… a true celebration of life. The music begins with a transparent, ethereal quality that seems almost too perfect for this world. From here, a hauntingly beautiful melody is introduced. This melody develops and evolves, finally maturing into a statement of incredible emotion and power. After a breathtaking climax, the intensity subsides, back to the exquisite quality from which the music began, finally ending with a heartfelt spell that will not soon be forgotten. A very emotional, lyrical piece of uncommon quality, not to be overlooked. Our highest recommendation!

A Life Well Lived

“The Whistler’s Grace” by Katheryn Fenske is a vibrant composition celebrating the sheer joy of making music and sharing it with others. The music begins with a lively whistling tune that dances through all sections of the ensemble, creating a sense of camaraderie and fun among performers. This theme gives way to a poignant hymn expressing gratitude, and the music concludes with a spirited return to the cheerful whistling tune. Written to celebrate the life of Fred Nyline, former director of bands at Luther College, “The Whistler’s Grace” invites listeners on a musical journey filled with warmth, humor, and heartfelt emotion, reflecting his enduring legacy of joy and kindness in the world of music. Gorgeous!
