About This Collection
Description
Pop music has earned its place in the concert band curriculum. Teachers program these arrangements for the energy they bring to concerts and the engagement they spark with students who recognize the melodies. This collection draws from film scores, hit songs, and beloved standards, all scored for concert band at accessible levels. You'll find John Williams' Cantina Band and Star Wars Main Theme alongside contemporary songs like Laufey's From the Start, giving you repertoire that spans decades and musical styles.
Highlights
Teachers keep coming back to John Williams' arrangements, especially Cantina Band and Star Wars Main Theme, both at grade 1-1.5 and instantly recognizable to audiences. Leslie Bricusse's Oompa Loompa (Grade 1) and Laufey's From the Start (Grade 2.5) round out the most popular titles, all with full conductor scores and parts ready to use.
Recently added
Recent additions include Creep by Thom Yorke, Careless Whisper by George Michael, and Bitter Sweet Symphony by Mick Jagger, all published this year and available at concert band level.
Composer Spotlight
John Williams needs no introduction. His film scores dominate this collection, and Cantina Band remains a teacher favorite for its immediate impact and straightforward instrumentation at grade 1.5.
Douglas E. Wagner brings three decades of high school teaching experience to his compositions. Since 1973, he has published over 3,500 works across multiple ensembles; his arrangement of Pure Imagination (from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) shows why directors trust him to capture familiar melodies without oversimplifying them.
Jack Bullock combines performance credentials (he studied trumpet at advanced levels and performed with the Miami Philharmonic) with degrees in music education. His arrangement of Raiders March demonstrates his understanding of what concert bands need: clear voice leading and parts that sit well in the hands of developing musicians.
