Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Selections from: Concert Band Conductor Score & Parts

Michael Story's arrangement captures the cinematic sweep of the film score while keeping the technical demands accessible for developing bands. The medley format lets you program multiple themes in one rehearsal block, and the inclusion of John Williams' iconic "Hedwig's Theme" alongside Doyle's new material gives students a satisfying musical arc that audiences love.

Cinematic and propulsive, shifting from the mysterious shimmer of "Hedwig's Theme" into the graceful swing of the waltz, then the rollicking energy of the Quidditch scene. The piece captures the emotional range of the film while maintaining the bright, youthful energy that makes concert band arrangements of this material so rewarding.

Grade 2.5 bands looking for engaging, film-based repertoire that connects with student interests without sacrificing musical substance. Directors seeking a single piece that delivers multiple themes and a full program's worth of musical variety will find this arrangement especially efficient.

• Balance the melodic lines across your sections; the strongest themes deserve prominent voices, but secondary melodic material needs clarity too for the medley to flow logically from one theme to the next.
• Pay attention to the character shifts between themes. The waltz sections require a lighter touch and cleaner articulation than the more robust Quidditch material.
• Lock in your rhythm section early in rehearsals. Clean articulation from low brass and woodwinds anchors the ensemble and makes the transitions between movements feel intentional rather than rushed.

Use this as a standalone feature that gives your concert a memorable anchor, or program it alongside other film or popular music selections to create a thematic concert. The Grade 2.5 level makes it a strong choice for a spring concert where you want impressive results without overextending a developing ensemble.

• Reading and executing articulation changes across multiple themes
• Balancing melody and accompaniment in a medley format
• Responding to tempo and character shifts within a single piece
