More about this title
About the Composer: Kevin Clary
Kevin Bryant Clary directs the band program at Kings Mountain Middle School in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, where he applies his dual expertise as both an educator and performing trumpeter. Beyond the classroom, he has earned recognition as a composer and arranger while maintaining an active performance presence in the Charlotte area.
Why we love this
Clary writes with a young band's actual capabilities in mind, crafting music that sounds sophisticated without requiring advanced technique. The piece delivers genuine musical substance at Grade 1.5, which means your students will experience success while learning to shape longer lines and create ensemble blend rather than fighting through technical barriers.
What to expect
Regalium unfolds with a sense of quiet ceremony. The writing emphasizes sustained harmonies and long lines that encourage ensemble singers to listen and blend rather than rush, creating moments of genuine musical dignity that young musicians find both achievable and genuinely moving to perform.
Who it's for
Early-intermediate concert bands working with young players who benefit from accessible scoring that doesn't compromise musical integrity. Directors seeking repertoire that teaches phrase shaping, ensemble balance, and mature interpretive choices without technical overload.
How to get the most out of it
- Establish a steady, singing tone in the opening phrase. The reverent character depends on warm, sustained sound across all sections, not rushing the tempo.
- Balance the harmonic foundation carefully. With Grade 1.5 scoring, clarity of chord movement becomes the primary architectural element, so ensure inner voices are audible without covering the melody.
- Shape the dynamic arch over the full two minutes forty-five seconds. Young musicians benefit from explicit planning about where the piece builds and where it breathes, especially in passages that sustain the same dynamic.
- Use the provided PerformancePlus+ exercises to isolate any rhythmic or articulation patterns that feel uneven, then reintegrate them into full-ensemble context.
How to use it
This works beautifully as a concert opener or as a thoughtful programming contrast to more energetic selections. At Grade 1.5, it fits naturally into early-season programming when fundamentals like tone production and balance deserve focus, or as a finale piece that leaves audiences with an impression of musical maturity.
Skills your students will build
- Sustaining long lines with consistent tone quality
- Balancing harmonic voicing and hearing chord color
- Reading and performing in early band keys with accuracy
- Shaping dynamic arches across extended phrases
- Responding to expressive conducting gestures
