Concert Band Video Game Sheet Music

Cuphead: Concert Band Conductor Score & Parts by Kristofer Maddigan and Minecraft: Concert Band Conductor Score & Parts by Daniel Rosefeld lead the collection. Teachers also return consistently to Kingdom Hearts Theme (Hikari) by Hikaru Utada at Grade 2 and the Halo Theme from Michael Salvatori's Halo Suite, both of which work well for students building foundational skills. Video Games Live Part 1 and Part 2, arranged by Marty O'Donnell and Ralph Ford respectively, offer grade 3 options for bands ready for slightly more complex textures.

Ralph Ford is a composer and arranger with nearly three decades of university teaching behind him and a prolific publishing catalog with Belwin that spans orchestra, concert band, jazz ensemble, and marching band. His Minecraft arrangement has become a staple in this collection. Robert Sheldon stands among the most performed composers for wind band today and brings the same musicianship to his game music work that has made his concert band pieces staples in rehearsal rooms worldwide. Douglas E. Wagner spent thirty years in the high school classroom before turning his attention fully to composition, giving his arrangements a practical understanding of what students and teachers need. Victor López's work on the Cuphead arrangement demonstrates how game music can be adapted without losing the character that makes it recognizable to your students.
