A+: A "Precise" Prelude and An "Excellent" March
By composer Thomas C. Duffy
Playing one wrong note can ruin the performance of a piece. However, in this CD-ROM, (the first of the BandQuest series) composer Thomas Duffy wants the performers to make mistakes. The precise imprecision of Duffy's piece comes to life as students are asked to intentionally play wrong notes in various parts of the march. Perform Duffy's piece. You and your students will never look at "perfection" the same way again!

Score, parts and CD-ROM: $60.00 (HL04001975)
Additional CD-ROM: $10.00 (HL04001977)


Hambone
By composer Libby Larsen
Libby Larsen's composition is a great way to engage students in the lives and histories of some of modern music's most influential contributors. From Sedalia, Missouri to Ghana and the Ivory Coast, Hambone combines three styles of music: hambone rhythms, cakewalk melodies and early rock and roll. Join us in this rousing, rollicking fun-to-play piece!
