Concert Band Scores & Parts
In order to be a versatile musician and maintain a high level of technique, you have to try new things musically, and that includes playing compositions that are outside of your comfort zone. Thankfully, today's selection of concert band scores and parts is seemingly endless. In this catalog alone you'll come across scores and parts for the clarinet, double bass, trombone, violin and even multiple instruments. Regardless of your tastes, skill level or chosen instrument, the concert band scores and parts for you are sitting in these pages.
When you consider how many compositions have been written over the past century that are now universally-accepted standards in the concert band repertoire, it's no wonder that there are so many scores and parts to choose from. For example, check out Hal Leonard's Music Works series - many volumes are available ranging from levels 1 through 5. Another popular Hal Leonard collection is Discovery! Band: a series designed specifically for developing concert bands. Here, you'll find Discovery! Band volumes ranging from Latin rock styles recorded for the FIFA World Cup to music used in hit movies like The Hunger Games.
Alfred is also well known across the country for their concert scores and parts. Just take a look at their Sound Innovations for Band series, which features many volumes aimed at specific grades and features everything from high energy compositions to calm serenades, jazzy numbers and even holiday favorites. Alfred's Concert Band series is another favorite with music instructors. For example, the Paradiddles Concert Band Grade 3.5 (Medium) may be the first piece for concert band that's inspired by, and based on, percussion rudiments. Or, if you're looking for a high-energy opener for your next concert, go with the Alfred Undecim Concert Band Grade (Medium Advanced).
