About the Arranger: Douglas E. Wagner

Douglas E. Wagner

Douglas E. Wagner brings three decades of high school music direction into his work as a prolific composer and arranger. A Butler University graduate with both undergraduate and graduate degrees in music, Wagner has published over 3,500 titles across virtually every ensemble type since 1973, with his music reaching performers and audiences across broadcast, concert, and educational settings worldwide.

Wagner's catalog spans choral literature, concert band, orchestra, handbell ensemble, organ, piano, and vocal music. His works have sold more than seventeen million copies and continue to define accessible, engaging literature for school music programs. He resides in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Why we love this

Wagner's gift for bridging beloved film music with fresh ensemble writing shows in every measure. The blend of iconic recognizable melodies with new inventive material keeps students invested, and the Grade 2.5 accessibility means your entire section can participate meaningfully without sacrificing musical substance.

What to expect

Playful, inventive, and instantly engaging. The arrangement balances nostalgia (those instantly recognizable 'Pure Imagination' and 'Oompa Loompa' moments) with contemporary energy, creating a piece that feels both fun and well-crafted.

Who it's for

Concert bands performing at Grade 2.5 level, particularly those seeking accessible yet engaging pop arranging that appeals to younger players and audiences alike. Directors looking to program contemporary film music without sacrificing musicianship will find this medley especially rewarding.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the melody between sections so the familiar tunes shine clearly; this is where your ensemble's primary listening focus belongs, and clear voicing of 'Pure Imagination' and 'Oompa Loompa' will carry the whole arrangement.
  • Anchor the rhythmic foundation in your lower woodwinds and brass during the pop-inflected sections like 'Scrub Scrub' so the groove stays locked even as upper voices dance around the harmony.
  • Leverage the shorter runtime (3:45) for concert pacing; this piece works as either an opener to energize the audience or a closer that leaves them smiling, so choose your slot strategically.

How to use it

Open a concert with this to establish an upbeat, accessible tone that draws in families and younger listeners. Its moderate length and pop sensibility make it an ideal anchor for a program themed around musical theater or film, or pair it with other Wagner pop arrangements for a cohesive young band showcase.

Skills your students will build

  • Playing sustained melodic lines with clear tone production and legit phrasing
  • Maintaining steady rhythmic accompaniment in pop-influenced grooves
  • Balancing sectional sonority so melody and harmony both register clearly
  • Recognizing and executing stylistic differences between contrasting song sections
