Concert Band Compositions

Below you will find concert band compositions divided by level. I've chosen not to give them a "grade" because of the variation in place to place. Take a look at the score and decide if it's right for your group.

The Expandable Chamber Project

The Expandable Chamber Project is an idea I've been developing for a while. These are a variety of tunes (classical arrangements, folk songs, etc) that are meant to be easily adaptable to varying instrumentations and groups. Each tune is five parts - basically SSATB - with optional percussion. My idea is that five musicians could be standing on a street corner/atrium of an auditorium OR a full ensemble can play them for a concert. These should work well as we navigate how to perform during COVID-19, but also continue to function well beyond (whenever that time comes!).

Marching Band Music

The marching band section will primarily (for now) be focused on parade and stands tunes for your band to perform and entertain.

Chamber Music

Differing from the "Expandable Chamber Project," this music will be focused on smaller and different combinations of music. Duets, trios, and other chamber ensembles can be found here.
