Mysterious and enigmatic, this arrangement captures the haunting essence of the award-winning series Severance. It begins with the soft, iconic chords and unforgettable melody of the Main Title Theme, gradually intensifying into a powerful climax. Suddenly, the ethereal strains of Kier’s Lullaby emerges in the brass, seamlessly weaving back into the haunting reprise of the Main Title as it gently fades into the distance. This arrangement creates a recognizable and evocative musical moment that will leave audiences captivated.
The ballet “The Firebird,'' originally composed for the Ballets Russes in 1910 by Igor Stravinsky, was a massive success that launched him into international fame. This transcription of the original 1910 version of the score has been expertly arranged for young concert band by L. C. Harnsberger. It includes helpful cues and retains all the drama of the original score. The piece starts with a solo horn (cued in alto saxes) that builds through simple meter changes, and ends with a powerful and legendary final climax. This arrangement is perfect for concerts, festivals, and is an ideal opener or closer for any performance.
The music of The Beatles has transcended generations with hits that continue to captivate audiences worldwide. Their song “Let It Be” soared to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1970 and its enchanting melody still resonates today. This timeless arrangement for young band captures the chorale-like feel of the original recording while also drawing inspiration from Celtic songs. After a quiet introduction, the song builds to a glorious climax. “Let It Be” will create an inspiring moment in any concert that will bring the crowd to its feet.
Opera
Finale from "The Firebird" by Stravinsky arranged for Band (grade 2.5) by L. C. Harnsberger
NOW AND THEN by The Beatles arranged for Band (grade 2.5) by L. C. Harnsberger
“Now and Then” is the first new Beatles song to hit #1 on the charts since “The Ballad of John and Yoko” was released in 1969. Originally started by John Lennon as a demo in 1977, the song was partially recorded by the remaining Beatles in 1996. Finally, in 2023 Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney came together to complete this iconic song. This arrangement preserves all the spirit of the Beatles’ recording while beautifully crafting a piece that is fun to perform and shows off every section of the band. The entire song is here, starting with a lightly scored first verse, to the upbeat chorus, through to the exhilarating coda. “Now and Then” pays tribute to the enduring legacy of The Beatles and is a must-have addition for any concert.
