CASTLES and KINGS - Parts & Score

Grade 1.0
Duration 2.01
Standard of Excellence Series.

The very words, castles and kings, evoke visions of days gone by. With imagination one can almost see the massive castles perched high on the hills, where lived the kings of yesteryear, with their moats, drawbridges, immense gates, cavernous dungeons, and banquet halls. It was in these great halls, often lit with smoke-bellowing torches, that great feasts and celebrations, with all their pageantry, took place.

The concert march, Castles and Kings, was composed to portray the regality, splendor and pageantry of the celebrations of the kings who inhabited those majestic castles.

For over 35 years I have had the honor of being a music teacher and my life has been positively influenced by the tousands of students that I have had the privilege of teaching. Celebration March was composed for the 6th grade beginning members of the Madison County Central School Band for their 2006-2007 school year. It is my hope that elebration March will provide students with a song that they will enjoy learning to play and provide other music ducators with a teaching tool that can be used to help motivate and encourage their students.

Composer / arranger: Hilliard Pearson

Grade 1.0
Duration 2.50

Chesapeake March is a parade-style march which begins with flutes and drums quietly playing the opening melody, as if approaching from afar. The full band enters in and restates the initial theme while clarinets play a smooth legato trio section. Flutes and drums close the piece giving the impression of the band marching away and fading into the distance.

EAGLE CREST MARCH - Parts & Score

Grade 1.0

Duration 3:20

Eagle Crest March is an exciting concert/festival composition utilizing simple rhythms and only seven notes. It should be performed at a stately tempo with each note being given adequate separation to ensure a clear, crisp sound.

Marches were originally written to facilitate the orderly movement of soldiers from one place to another. Signals in the music, usually played by the percussion section, communicated instructions to everyone in the group. The pulse was steady, and the rhythm patterns were simple. Some marches imitated the sounds of battle. By the 16th century, composers began to use elements of the march style in their concert music.

Perhaps the composer and conductor most often associated with marches is John Philip Sousa, "The March King." He composed 6 marches, best known for their toe-tapping rhythms, catchy melodies, and interesting countermelodies.

Each form usually consists of a main section of two or more "strains" followed by at least one trio or legato section. Sometimes a legato section is followed by a "dog fight" where sections of the band alternate short musical excerpts. The "dog fight" section most often is followed by a return to the main section before bringing the march to a conclusion. This is the form of Eagle Crest March.

In this piece for second-year players, Paul Murtha masterfully adapts the traditional military march form for young musicians. The first strain is carried by trumpets and upper woodwinds, while the low brass take the lead on the second strain. After a brief percussion break, the legato trio melody features the woodwind section. A “call and response” breakstrain is followed by the full band on the rousing finish. Keep the march alive with this marvelous piece!
