About the Composer: Steven Brian Price
Steven Brian Price is a composer whose film scoring work has brought dynamic energy to major motion pictures. His ability to craft themes that translate effectively from screen to concert hall has made his music a natural fit for educational ensembles seeking contemporary, audience-engaging repertoire.
Why we love this
Victor López's arrangement captures the propulsive urgency and character themes of Price's original score while keeping the technical demands accessible for developing bands. The four-minute runtime packs genuine musical storytelling without overstaying its welcome, and the Grade 3 scoring allows sections to shine without burying weaker players in doublings.
What to expect
Kinetic and cinematic. The piece captures the frenetic energy of on-screen action with sharp rhythmic punches and soaring melodic moments that reveal character depth. You'll feel the tension building and releasing, mirroring the film's emotional and physical landscape.
Who it's for
Concert bands at the Grade 3 level seeking contemporary film music that excites both performers and audiences. This works equally well for high school ensembles building confidence with modern scores and middle school bands ready for something beyond traditional educational repertoire.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the ensemble so the main melodic themes cut through clearly; rhythmic drive matters more than volume in the action sections.
- Shape phrase arcs even during fast passages by breathing together and committing fully to dynamic changes.
- Lock the rhythm section (bass, timpani, percussion) to maintain the propulsive feel that defines the piece's energy.
- Use the dramatic shifts in texture as cues for your conducting; exaggerated gesture clarity helps younger players stay connected during transitions.
How to use it
Program this as a first-half closer or second-half opener on a concert pairing it with contrasting material; the four-minute length and high energy make it an ideal momentum builder. It also works well on pops or film music themed concerts where you want engagement without complexity.
Skills your students will build
- Executing clean rhythmic articulation in fast-moving passages
- Balancing melody and accompaniment across the ensemble
- Following dramatic dynamic and textural shifts without losing ensemble cohesion
- Sustaining focus and precision during high-energy musical storytelling
