Description
Sounding very patriotic in nature, For Those Who Have Served would make an ideal selection to be performed at a reflective event or simply to pay homage to the thousands of men and women who have served in the military. The noble theme is first heard in a solo flugel horn before moving to a fuller sonority. A theme with a very different feel has melody in the flute and alto saxophone before the flugel horn sound brings this lyrical piece to peaceful conclusion.

More about this title

About the Composer: David Marlatt

David Marlatt is a composer and arranger with deep roots in band music pedagogy. His catalog spans Grade 1 through 5 works, with a particular gift for writing accessible pieces that don't sacrifice musical substance or emotional resonance.

Why we love this

Marlatt captures genuine reverence without slipping into bombast. The flugel horn solo that opens the piece gives your best player a moment of quiet dignity, while the shift to flute and alto saxophone adds textural variety that keeps the arrangement from feeling predictable. At Grade 2, it's within reach for developing ensembles but demands real musicianship.

What to expect

Noble but never bombastic. The opening flugel horn melody carries weight and warmth, inviting reflection rather than spectacle. When the piece shifts to its second theme, the texture lightens into something more lyrical and intimate, creating a conversation between different voices rather than a single statement.

Who it's for

Bands looking for a respectful tribute piece that works for military appreciation events, memorial services, or concert programs celebrating service. It's accessible enough for developing ensembles while offering enough musical substance to satisfy more experienced groups.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the flugel horn solo carefully in the opening; it should soar above the accompaniment without drowning in it. A touch of reverb on the rehearsal recording helps players hear the proper dynamic relationship.
  • Shape the transition into the second theme thoughtfully. The shift from brass-driven to woodwind-led sound needs intention, not just a mechanical key change.
  • Let the peaceful conclusion breathe. Resist the urge to push tempo; the power of this ending lives in space and restraint.

How to use it

Position this as a centerpiece for a concert honoring veterans or military families, or pair it with other patriotic selections for a thematic concert. Its moderate length and Grade 2 accessibility make it ideal for a mid-program anchor that gives your ensemble breathing room between higher-energy selections.

Skills your students will build

  • Balancing solo lines against accompaniment
  • Sustaining long melodic phrases with proper breath support
  • Dynamic control and nuance in reflective music
  • Ensemble blend across instrument families
