About This Collection

Description

This concert band collection centers on brass band scores and parts drawn from classic American songbook standards and film music. Soul Bossa Nova by Quincy Jones and Sing Sing Sing by Louis Prima anchor the collection, bringing swing energy and jazz vocabulary to the concert band setting. You'll find material rooted in masterwork arrangements, Broadway sources, and movie themes, with roughly half the titles suited for contest and festival performance.

Highlights

Teachers return regularly to Soul Bossa Nova by Quincy Jones and Sing Sing Sing by Louis Prima, both available as full scores and parts. The collection leans heavily toward concert band instrumentation with strong appeal for festival programming.

Composer Spotlight

Leroy Anderson contributed three titles to this collection, drawing on his gift for light orchestral writing and accessible melody. His work appears frequently in concert band libraries for its clarity and audience appeal.

George Gershwin's presence here connects to American popular song and jazz idiom that shaped much of this catalog's character. His compositions sit naturally alongside the swing and standard material that defines the collection.
