The Classical period saw a broad reaction against the layered complexities of Baroque music and led to a simpler relationship between melody and harmony. It was a musical style that reflected the mid-18th century's wider enthusiasm for reviving the clean, well-ordered structures of Greek classicism across the arts. The orchestra expanded in size, woodwind became a self-contained section and the harpsichord was increasingly displaced by the recently invented fortepiano. Instrumental music dominated, notably symphony and string quartet, with examples of both strands represented here in 70 piano arrangements. Among the many composers whose work is included are C.P.E. Bach, J.C. Bach, Beethoven, Clementi, Czerny, Gluck, Haydn, Hummel, Mozart and Weber.

The charm and grace of David Meece's contemporary Christmas classic shines through in this sensitive choral setting from Lloyd Larson. The poetic images and haunting melody are beautifully woven into a gently flowing, richly satisfying, artistic musical fabric. Accompaniment can be piano, handbells, or full orchestra.
The Orchestration by Mark Kellner (sold separately) includes a Conductor's Score and parts for: Flute, Oboe, Clarinet in B-flat, Horn in F, 2 Trumpets in B-flat, 2 Trombones, Percussion, Timpani, Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello and Bass.
for Solo Instrument with Concert Band/Wind Ensemble accompaniment
Originally composed for solo double-bass and orchestra, the latest addition to the Barnhouse “Spotlight” series presents almost endless opportunities for featuring your soloist with concert band or a small wind ensemble. Parts are included to provide solo instrument options for any wind (or string) instrument in C, Bb, Eb, F, or bass clef. The accompaniment may be performed with full band; or, for balance purposes while accompanying string or higher woodwinds, it may also be performed by a smaller wind ensemble of flutes, oboe, clarinets, bass clarinet, bassoon, horns, and timpani. An excellent way to feature your star player or a guest artist!

B-flat Clarinet
An ideal combination for the improvement of technical facility, articulation, intonation, and tone.
An overview of the most popular contest and recital pieces written for oboe. The material has been carefully selected to match the technical capabilities of the younger advancing player. Levels 1 & 2 are available for each instrument (flute, oboe, clarinet, alto saxophone, F horn, trumpet, trombone, tuba, drum), both with supplementary piano accompaniment volumes. Correlated to the First Division Band Course.
E-flat Alto Saxophone
(Also for Baritone Saxophone, E-Flat clarinet, & Alto Clarinet)
Division of measure includes counting rest values as well as note values. A mistake in counting note values while playing is heard and corrected by the instructor, but counting rest values is a silent business and difficult at times for the instructor to detect just where the mistake was made, or who made the mistake. 101 Rhythmic Rest Patterns will help solve that problem, as the unison feature will enable the instructor and the whole ensemble to count aloud all in unison on any or all rest patterns until each rest pattern is perfect.
B-flat Tenor Saxophone
