The Art of Expressive Playing
A Study in Individual, Small Ensemble, and Large Group Performance
While there are no absolute rules concerning expressive playing and phrasing, this innovative series clearly lays out basic concepts that help players become good musicians.
The series focuses on the natural relationship between meter, rhythm, contour, tonality, style and historical period, and guides the player to a greater understanding of factors that can improve performance. This one of a kind text, written for teachers, woodwind, brass, and percussion players, will help stimulate and cultivate more musical playing by individual musicians and by ensembles as a whole.
Teacher’s Manual w/ CD (JB51 - $26.95)
Brass and Percussion (JB52 - $9.95)
Woodwinds and Mallets (JB53 - $9.95)

| The Spirit of an Eagle |
| Larry Clark |
|
 |
This is one of Larry Clark's most successful and performed pieces. It is a standard overture with a glorious slower B section, and is already on the required music lists for many states (including Texas and Florida). Now it can be performed by a band with instrumentation problems in this new flexible scoring edition. As few as five players and percussion can perform a full-sounding version of this wonderful work. To prove it, we recorded an excerpted version of the piece where we did just that. |

| Sean O'Loughlin |

 This piece is already one of Sean O'Loughlin's most successful, and it is now available in our new series of pieces with flexible instrumentation. It can be performed with as few as five players and percussion. This bold and aggressive piece will make any band sound good and with the five-part set-up of the scoring, you can overcome any instrumentation deficiencies. Check out the full recording, but also sample the excerpted recording that gives you an idea of how good this piece can sound, even with a very small ensemble. |
