More about this title

About the Composer: James Newton Howard

James Newton Howard is a composer whose work spans film scores, orchestral music, and concert arrangements. He has garnered multiple Academy Award nominations and Golden Globe awards for his film compositions, bringing sophisticated orchestral sensibility to projects across genres. His ability to craft thematic material that resonates emotionally while remaining accessible makes his scores ideal for young band arrangement.

Why we love this

Patrick Roszell's arrangement captures the enchantment of the Fantastic Beasts score while keeping the writing clean and playable for Grade 2.5 bands. The inclusion of Williams' iconic "Hedwig's Theme" alongside Howard's original themes creates instant musical recognition that audiences love, and the medley structure gives directors a substantial show-stopper without requiring an extended rehearsal timeline.

What to expect

The score swirls with whimsy and mystery, opening with a hushed nod to the wizarding world before building into soaring brass melodies. Each section carries warmth and wonder, inviting players into a narrative that feels larger than themselves despite the accessible scoring.

Who it's for

Concert bands at the Grade 2.5 level with solid fundamentals in all sections will find this arrangement both rewarding and achievable. Directors seeking repertoire with immediate audience appeal for fall concerts or Halloween-themed programs will appreciate the familiar themes and manageable technical demands.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the brass entrance in "Main Titles" so the thematic material sings above the rhythmic foundation. Young players often push too hard early in the piece.
  • Shape the quieter moments in "Newt's Friend" with dynamic control and careful intonation. These passages set up the drama that follows.
  • Use the recorded accompaniment available through MakeMusic Cloud to lock the ensemble's pacing during sectional rehearsals, especially for the faster transition passages.

How to use it

This suite works exceptionally well as a centerpiece for a fall concert or Halloween program, where its fantasy themes create thematic coherence. At just over four minutes, it occupies substantial stage time while remaining within the technical comfort zone of developing bands, making it ideal for groups preparing concert material in August and September.
