More about this title
About the Composer: Carl Holmquist
Carl Holmquist is a composer and educator whose work appears regularly in the Alfred Debut Series, a cornerstone collection for beginning and developing concert bands. His writing consistently emphasizes musical clarity, accessible ranges, and scoring that allows younger ensembles to sound mature and engaged.
Why we love this
Rise captures something essential about how young musicians experience ensemble playing: the tangible progress that happens when everyone plays together toward a shared musical idea. The ascending architecture of this piece makes that growth audible, so students feel ownership of what they're building rather than simply playing through a list of notes.
What to expect
Rise unfolds with optimism and forward momentum. Ascending lines and layered rhythmic energy create a sense of building intensity without chaos, leaving performers and audiences with a feeling of uplift and accomplishment.
Who it's for
This work suits concert bands in their first or second year of study, particularly ensembles still developing secure rhythmic reading and consistent intonation. Directors seeking literature that combines musical substance with approachable ranges and ranges will find a solid concert or festival piece here.
How to get the most out of it
- Shape each ascending phrase with intentional crescendo; resist the urge to jump straight to forte. Let the rise feel earned and organic rather than forced.
- Balance melody and accompaniment carefully in sections where both occur simultaneously. At this level, accompaniment parts often get buried, so mark your parts clearly and remind sections they are the foundation.
- Mark tempo relationships if the piece includes any shifts in character. Even subtle changes will help students understand the architecture and stay together.
- Record a rehearsal run-through a week before performance and listen as an ensemble. Hearing themselves builds confidence and reveals balance issues you may not catch from the podium.
How to use it
Open a concert with this piece to establish energy and engagement immediately, or program it as a contest piece that showcases your band's growing maturity. At just over two minutes, it pairs well alongside a longer work in a full program.
Skills your students will build
- Reading Grade 1.5 concert band instrumentation and ranges
- Balancing melody against accompaniment texture
- Sustaining dynamic growth across phrases
- Ensemble intonation and blend in ascending passages
- Responding to visual conducting cues for phrase shape and intensity
