Star Spangled Banner
This is an adaptable quintet version of the Star Spangled Banner. I wrote this to be as functional as possible in various scenarios.. anything from a band concert to a baseball game. Any time you need to play it, you just need the five parts covered. Enjoy!
Note: the two arrangements only differ slightly in the parts, the arrangement is the same.

If Ye Love Me - (Thomas Tallis)
This first arrangement is one I did years ago for a marching band warm-up chorale. It's straightforward (aside that students will really need to count carefully for entrances) and a great opportunity to develop a rich, dark ensemble sound. It's in A Flat.. so nice warm band key (especially those Db chords 🤩)
Second is a 2022 update to make it more suitable for concert band. I arranged the second half of the piece AND included a transposition into Bb Major. Parts are in portrait. This would definitely work for marching band as well, but I concert-band-ified it. The music was first published in 1565. That's really old.
