Teachers consistently choose The Cars: Guitar Anthology Series (The Cars), a guitar TAB book that stands apart as the top seller in this collection. Kevin Kaisershot's Scherzo Diabolique for three trumpets and his duet Moments Majestique keep returning to carts, while David Marlatt's Variations on Blue Bells of Scotland for alto saxophone and keyboard remains a reliable pull for intermediate student recitals. Gentle Snow by Dan Austin and Ryan Meeboer's Western Fair (with interchangeable woodwind parts) are also steady favorites for concert band programs.

Ryan Meeboer has contributed three new brass works in the past two months: The Intrepid and The Gods of Egypt (both brass choirs) and The Final Descent (brass quintet). David Marlatt's Shaped by Time for woodwind ensemble and Percussion Break for concert band also arrived recently, alongside a Vivaldi arrangement of Concerto from L'estro armonico for brass quintet.

David Marlatt's 1,707 titles in this collection make him the dominant voice here. His work spans arrangements of classical masterworks and original compositions across nearly every instrumentation, with particular strength in woodwind and chamber settings. Variations on Blue Bells of Scotland (alto saxophone and keyboard) exemplifies his approach: accessible medium-level pieces that work equally well in lessons and performance.

Ryan Meeboer has built 465 titles focusing on flexible instrumentation and ensemble accessibility. His interchangeable woodwind and brass writing allows teachers to adapt pieces for the players on hand, making pieces like Western Fair practical for schools with changing ensemble rosters. He's actively contributing new works, with multiple brass choir and brass quintet titles published within the past two months.

Kevin Kaisershot's 240 compositions center on chamber and small ensemble work at medium difficulty. His brass writing is particularly strong, as evidenced by Scherzo Diabolique (three trumpets), which outpaces most titles in this collection by units sold. His duet Moments Majestique for two clarinets shows his attention to accessible yet musically satisfying two-part writing.
