More about this title
About the Arranger: Paul Murtha
Paul Murtha has built a prolific career as an arranger and composer for concert and marching ensembles, with a particular gift for making popular and contemporary music accessible to student musicians. His arrangements prioritize clarity of texture and singable, playable lines while preserving the energy and character of the original songs.
Why we love this
Murtha captures the swagger and fun of these rock classics without requiring advanced technique, so your ensemble can focus on style, phrasing, and attitude. Three recognizable hits in a compact three-minute package give you serious program impact for minimal rehearsal demands. Your audience will respond immediately to the familiar melodies, and your students will actually want to practice this.
What to expect
Pure, unapologetic fun. These three songs bring the attitude and drive of classic rock to your concert hall, with straightforward grooves, catchy hooks, and enough rhythmic punch to keep an audience awake. It's party energy channeled into disciplined ensemble playing.
Who it's for
Concert bands at the Grade 2 level looking for repertoire that generates genuine enthusiasm in both rehearsal and performance. Students benefit from playing music they recognize and respect, and teachers appreciate an arrangement that entertains without sacrificing musicianship.
How to get the most out of it
- Lean into the rhythmic swagger of 'Louie Louie' by tightening the backbeat in the rhythm section; this song lives in the pocket, not ahead of the beat.
- Build the energy through each successive hit rather than treating them as isolated tunes; let the medley structure carry momentum from start to finish.
- Balance the saxophone and trumpet lines in 'Wooly Bully' so the melodic hooks cut through without drowning out the rhythmic drive underneath.
- Nail the unison hits. Precision on the attacks and cutoffs in all three tunes will make the arrangement sound polished and professional.
How to use it
Place this in the second half of your concert to shift the mood and reinvigorate the audience after serious repertoire. It works equally well as a closer if you want to send listeners out with a smile. The compact duration makes it ideal for pops concerts, family nights, or community performances where accessibility matters.
Skills your students will build
- Rock rhythmic articulation and phrasing
- Maintaining a steady groove with dynamic control
- Playing syncopated lines with confidence
- Balancing melody and rhythm in an ensemble context
- Executing clean, unified sectional attacks and releases
