About This Collection
Description
Video game music translates surprisingly well to concert band, and this collection proves it. Titles like Cuphead by Kristofer Maddigan, Minecraft by Daniel Rosefeld, and the Kingdom Hearts Theme arranged by Michael Story sit comfortably in grades 1 through 3, making them accessible to developing ensembles without sacrificing the energy and character of the originals. Most arrangements fall into the Pop Young Band and Pop Concert Band series, so you're getting music that engages students who actually want to play it. Whether you're building a pops concert or looking for repertoire that resonates with your band, these pieces deliver recognizable melodies and solid arranging craft.
Highlights
Teachers return to Cuphead and Minecraft year after year, both Grade 2.5 titles that balance accessibility with fun. The Kingdom Hearts Theme and Halo Theme have become reliable standbys in the easy (Grade 2) category. Video Games Live Parts 1 and 2, both Grade 3 (Medium Easy), give you substantial concert material that still lands well with intermediate ensembles.
Composer Spotlight
Ralph Ford is an arranger and composer with nearly three decades of university teaching behind him and over 250 published titles across orchestra, concert band, jazz, and marching band. His Minecraft arrangement remains a favorite, and his work for Belwin/Alfred brings professional polish to every chart.
Robert Sheldon is one of the most performed wind band composers today and the lead author of Sound Innovations for Concert Band. His arrangements carry the clarity and musicality his school and concert audiences expect, as heard in his Halo Theme setting.
Douglas E. Wagner spent thirty years in the high school classroom before turning to full-time composition. With over 3,500 titles published since 1973 across multiple genres and ensembles, his World of Warcraft suite brings the experience of someone who understands exactly what band directors need.
