I've just been trying to remember some of the pieces I particularly enjoyed playing in High School Band. It's been awhile so I had to look some of them up but here's a partial list: Originals Vittorio Giannini, Symphony for Band - interesting music, cool horn parts William Schuman, George Washington Bridge - very interesting music, nice rhythmically Alfred Reed, In Memoriam - nice horn solo Robert Jaeger, 3rd Suite - kind of quirky, fun to play Joseph Willcox Jenkins, American Overture - a rollicking good time, horns aplenty
Arrangements Respighi, Pines of the Appian Way - what can I say? Tchaikovsky, Finale of 4th Symphony - well that's just fun for all Stravinsky, Berceuse and Finale from the Firebird - it's 1/2 step lower, still great What other high school band music can anybody else think of that can keep the horn players awake and out of mischief?
