recommended by Ken T., Band Education Specialist
Music for a Darkened Theater arr. Michael Brown, Grade 3
Chilling and delightful, here is a medley of classic Danny Elfman themes in a flexible format. Includes themes from “Edward Scissorhands,” “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “Spider-Man,” “Beetlejuice,” and “Tales from the Crypt.”
Obi-Wan arr. Johnnie Vinson, Grade 2
From the new series “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” this Star Wars character finally gets his own theme! John Williams masterfully captures the emotional depth of the character along with a spirit of adventure. Scored here for flexible instrumentation.
Spider-Man: No Way Home (Main Theme) arr. Johnnie Vinson, Grade 2
Scored for flexible instrumentation, this dynamic arrangement of the Spider-Man main theme includes three stylistic sections – the slow opening, delicate treatment in 3/4, and concluding with the exciting setting in 4/4.
We Don’t Walk About Bruno arr. Johnnie Vinson, Grade 2
With an infectious groove and familiar melody, this hit from “Encanto” is already becoming a classic. Here’s a great sounding arrangement with flexible scoring.
