About This Collection
Description
RWS Music Company publishes over 1,600 titles for concert band, strings, and chamber ensembles, with a strong focus on accessible, performance-ready music for developing through advanced student groups. The catalog leans heavily into light concert works, programmatic pieces, and novelty numbers that engage students and audiences alike. Teachers return repeatedly for titles like Ten Carols In Two Minutes by Timothy Loest, Coventry Groove by Bryce Newton, and African Holy Night by Robert W. Smith, which balance musical substance with the kind of immediate appeal that keeps rehearsals moving and performances memorable.
Highlights
Ten Carols In Two Minutes by Timothy Loest remains the collection's perennial favorite, offering Grade 1 bands a complete holiday program in genuine concert-ready form. Coventry Groove by Bryce Newton and African Holy Night by Robert W. Smith follow close behind, both Grade 3 pieces that teachers trust for solid musicianship without excessive technical demand. Not So Silent Night by Evan VanDoren rounds out the most frequently adopted titles, another Grade 3.5 holiday work that has earned steady adoption in bands looking for arrangements with character.
Recently added
Six new titles arrived in June 2026: Snowstorm by Brian Bankston, Legend of the Crossbow by Alexandre Carlin, Ten Countries in Two Minutes by Timothy Loest, Andromeda Fanfare by Mekel Rogers, Singers Glen by Gary Fagan, and Battleground by Heather Archer Hoefle. These represent fresh additions across the RWS catalog's core strengths in accessible concert and programmatic works.
Composer Spotlight
Robert W. Smith stands as one of America's most prolific composers for concert band and orchestra, with over 400 publications and a catalog here of 244 titles. His work ranges from straightforward light concert pieces to sophisticated orchestral arrangements, grounded in training from Troy State University and the University of Miami. African Holy Night exemplifies his approach: musically substantive without overreaching the abilities of developing ensembles.
Bryce Newton brings 89 titles to the collection, with Coventry Groove establishing itself as a teaching staple. His pieces tend toward programmatic and novelty territory, the kind of music that gives students something concrete to visualize and perform.
Evan VanDoren contributes 109 titles, including Not So Silent Night, which has found consistent adoption among Grade 3.5 bands. His work often inhabits the holiday and light concert space, designed for genuine performance impact rather than technical display.
Brian Bankston and Heather Hoefle round out the standout voices, with 166 and 114 titles respectively. Bankston's catalog includes Angels We Have Remixed, while Hoefle's Alpha Dog demonstrates the novelty and programmatic strengths both composers bring to the collection.
