More about this title
About the Composer: Elliot Del Borgo
Elliot Del Borgo is a composer and arranger whose work has become a cornerstone of young band and wind ensemble repertoire. His pieces are known for combining technical craft with genuine musicality, creating works that challenge students without overwhelming them.
Del Borgo's approach to scoring emphasizes balance and color. He understands the developmental needs of student musicians and writes idiomatically for each instrument, which is why his work appears regularly on concert programs and festival schedules across the country.
Why we love this
The doublings in the lower voices give your group an immediate sense of accomplishment and fullness, even if your low brass and woodwind sections aren't fully staffed. This is concert band writing at its best: it knows what student ensembles actually need. At three minutes, it opens a concert with confidence and style without demanding excessive rehearsal time.
What to expect
Joyant opens with immediate brightness and forward energy. The piece has a festive, celebratory character throughout, with clear harmonic progressions and straightforward melodic writing that lets your students feel the shape of the music as they play it.
Who it's for
Grade 2 concert bands looking for a strong opener that sounds polished and complete. This work suits groups with developing musicianship and uneven instrumentation, as the careful doublings compensate for missing voices.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the melodic material between the upper woodwinds and trumpets; the doublings below should reinforce, not obscure, the primary line.
- Establish a clear, steady tempo from the downbeat. This piece thrives on forward momentum, so resist the urge to slow down during the more lyrical sections.
- Bring out the harmonic movement in the lower voices, particularly in the accompaniment figures. The doublings create texture, not muddiness.
- Listen carefully to the overall blend during rehearsal. With all those doublings, a single player playing out of tune or rhythm will stand out.
How to use it
Open your fall or spring concert with this piece. It sets a positive tone for the audience while giving your students an early win in the program. Its three-minute length makes it ideal for a festival schedule, and its confident, cheerful character pairs well with either lighter repertoire or as a contrast before something more serious.
Skills your students will build
- Ensemble balance with doubled voice parts
- Reading concert band instrumentation and ranges
- Maintaining steady tempo through harmonic progressions
- Phrasing and shaping lyrical material over accompaniment figures
