Product Description

A beginning band piece written for your first-year band, Empire March will be a favorite of your students! This delightful march, written with a hidden Easter Egg homage to New York State, incorporates short phrases in the melodies with straight forward harmonic lines in the low brass, as well as easy to learn rhythms for your emerging percussionists. There is even a fun "dog fight" section in the middle between the woodwinds and brass before the percussion feature, which is highlighted with a bass drum solo! Written in Bb, Empire March features catchy melodies throughout and a fulfilling 6-note range harmony line for your low brass players who will find their part equally exciting to play. There is also a great opportunity for your saxophones and flutes to showcase their talents with a light-hearted counter harmony halfway through the first theme, which pairs well with the unison melody in the clarinets and trumpets. Look no further than here for your newest addition to your library with this new piece written specifically for your beginning band!
