One moment…

This impressive fanfare will make your band sound extraordinary. Beginning with a bold melodic statement supported by rich harmonies and stately percussion, the music progresses through various moods ranging from gentle to triumphant. A rhythmic dance section in the middle of the work provides excellent contrast before the bold opening themes return to bring the work to a dramatic conclusion. Fabulous writing for young musicians!

Don't just read it, hear it, play along with it, and watch your students grow with it. In MakeMusic Cloud, Summit Fanfare: Concert Band Conductor Score & Parts comes alive with professional accompaniment, adjustable tempo, and built-in practice tools that turn solo practice into real progress.

Why we love this

Owens understands what Grade 1 bands actually sound like, and Summit Fanfare plays directly to their strengths. The structure gives you multiple contrasting sections to rehearse separately, and each one builds genuine musicianship rather than coasting on flash.

What to expect

Bold and ceremonial at the outset, with a sweeping melodic gesture that immediately tells your audience this is a band that knows how to make an entrance. The gentle passages offer space to breathe before the rhythmic dance brings playfulness into the mix, and the final return lands with genuine impact.

Who it's for

Grade 1 concert bands preparing for festivals or looking for repertoire that sounds polished without requiring advanced technique. Directors seeking a single piece that teaches both lyrical playing and rhythmic precision.

How to get the most out of it

Balance the opening melody against the harmonies beneath it; the richness only works if the counterline doesn't overpower the lead.
Let the rhythmic dance section breathe with slightly lighter articulation than the fanfare material, creating real textural contrast.
Shape the return of the opening themes with increased dynamic energy but without sacrificing control; the drama comes from commitment, not rushing.

How to use it

Open a concert with this to establish strong first impressions, or place it as the anchor piece in a thematic program centered on fanfares and processions. It works equally well as a festival selection where you want to demonstrate musicality alongside technical control.
