More about this title

About the Composer: Alexandre Desplat

Alexandre Desplat has become one of film's most celebrated composers through his work on the Harry Potter series, the Fantastic Beasts films, and scores for directors including David Cuarón, Wes Anderson, and Guillermo del Toro. His orchestral writing combines melodic clarity with sophisticated harmonic language, making his film scores exceptionally effective when adapted for educational ensembles.

Desplat's approach to film composition emphasizes memorable thematic material and orchestral color, qualities that translate beautifully to concert band. His willingness to collaborate with arrangers who bring his scores to school and community musicians has made his work a staple of contemporary band repertoire.

Why we love this

Jerry Brubaker's medley preserves the emotional arc and orchestral character of Desplat's original score while respecting the capabilities of a Grade 3.5 ensemble. The suite moves fluidly through eight thematic moments, each instantly recognizable to your students, giving them a genuine connection to music they already love while building their sight-reading and musicianship.

What to expect

The medley captures the dark wonder and adventure of the Harry Potter universe through Desplat's signature blend of urgency and lyricism. You'll move from the soaring familiarity of 'Hedwig's Theme' through moments of mystery and mischief, building toward a finale that delivers genuine dramatic impact.

Who it's for

High school concert bands looking for music that engages audiences and performers alike. Bands at the early intermediate level will find the Grade 3.5 difficulty manageable while the immediately recognizable themes keep rehearsals energized and performance night memorable.

How to get the most out of it

Balance the opening 'Hedwig's Theme' so the main melody cuts through the accompaniment without overwhelming the lower voices; this sets the tone for clarity throughout the medley.
Treat 'Obliviate' and 'Ministry of Magic' as contrasting movements with distinct tempos and character; mark these transitions clearly in rehearsal so the pacing feels intentional, not rushed.
Shape the lyrical sections like 'At the Burrow' and 'Farewell to Dobby' with long-line phrasing and careful dynamic control; these moments anchor the emotional weight of the suite.
Lock in the rhythmic precision during 'Detonators' where the energy peaks; this driving section demands tight ensemble work in the middle voices.

How to use it

Program this as a centerpiece of a Halloween or autumn concert, or position it as the finale of a pop music showcase. The eight-movement structure also works well as the opening number of a concert dedicated to film and television music, immediately establishing an energetic tone.
