Third Suite (I. March, II. Waltz, III. Rondo)

By Robert Jager

A stunning work filled with the mystery, the fire, and intrigue. Robert suggests that all available percussionists encircle the audience in the final section, drawing the audience inside the worship circle. (9:00)

The movements are “March”—non-characteristically 4 3 scored in alternating 4 and 4 time, “Waltz”— 2 3 similarly juxtaposed in alternating 4 and 4 time, and the raucous “Rondo.” Robert Jager’s Third Suite—a distinctive work with charming character. (8:45)

The Sound Innovations for Concert Band series provides stimulating selections for beginning and developing bands that reinforce newly learned notes, articulations, key signatures, rhythmic patterns, musical terms, and symbols, covering a wide variety of musical styles. Each piece correlates with specific levels in Sound Innovations for Concert Band, our revolutionary band method, but may also be used in conjunction with other instructional methods. Each arrangement includes a reproducible educational pack and an optional piano accompaniment part.

DEBUT

(Grades ½–1½, Very Easy–Easy) When your beginning performers are feeling more comfortable playing together as an ensemble and are ready to perform slightly more challenging music, Alfred’s Debut Series for young bands is the ideal choice. Suited for firstand second-year players, this series is in full-score format with reduced instrumentation.

World and supplemental parts are available at alfred.com/WorldParts. World parts are available as a free download including string bass, contra bass & contra alto clarinets, alto clarinet & more.

Each piece is playable with only flute, 2 clarinets, 2 alto saxes, 2 trumpets, trombone, baritone, and percussion. The low brass parts are doubled by tenor sax and low reeds for stability.

YOUNG SYMPHONIC (Grades 2–3, Medium Easy–Medium)

Full-sounding original compositions and transcriptions are provided in this bright and bold symphonic band series. Students are presented with more challenging performance concepts, both interpretively and technically, that help them to develop overall musicianship with limited instrumentation (2 trumpets, 2 clarinets, 2 trombones, and a single French horn part) while providing a complete sound that delivers satisfying performances.

CONCERT BAND (Grades 3–5, Medium–Advanced)
