Concert Piece for Band

Title: Concert Piece for Band
Level: Grade 4
Composer/Arranger: Monte Tubb
Publisher: Theodore Presser Company
Classification: Tone Poem
Instrumentation: Full
Source: UND Music Library
General Comments: Concert Piece for Band is an imaginative work for band. This work is a "battle of the bands" all by itself. Tubb writes a melody that he calls " the establishment music" and also has conflicting melodies that are battling for attention. This piece reccomends many instruments that are unussual for most bands; violin' guitar, battle drum, and fife. Though they are recommended, they are not crucial, their parts can be cued in other instruments. Quotations of Bringing in the Sheaves and a polka played by a piano will make this piece interesting. Mixed meter and tempo changes could be potential problems.
