Woodlands Celebration

By: Ron Arnon

Concert Band Grade: 1.5 

Composer Ron Arnon, who brought us the wonderful Ceremonial Procession, brings us Woodlands Celebration, a joyful march that can be included in any concert program. This piece leaves its unique imprint by using asymmetrical phrases and harmonic uncertainty to support an accessible melody comprised of the first 6 notes of the Bb major scale. Woodlands Celebration correlates with Tradition of Excellence Book 1, page 30.
