Directors,
This forum is linked from the main page and is THE place for you to post your "finds" in the way of free quality concert band literature. There are pieces out there that are great pieces. If you have played them with your band and feel that everyone needs to know about them, please post them here.

Steve Melillo offers concert band works on his website and you don't have to sign-up.

I should also mention that a director does not need the pad bass or other keyboards to perform the free stuff.

Enjoy!
Directors,
Here is a pretty cool site that has a great deal of content.

South Carolina Bands
CHAMBER MUSIC

http://www.whichpond.com/freemusic/

Free chamber music for advanced middle school players as well as high school players. This is a great site.

I believe I've downloaded all of it! Some really nice stuff here, folks.
Hey,

I wrote a very simple piece for Beginning Band (first concert) that went pretty well. Simple rhythms, etc. If you would like a copy, let me know. Not really looking into getting into the conducting thing...just trying to save my program some money!

"Storm Surge" by Paul Lemen

Paul;

I really like the piece. Being from Hurricane I might have thrown in some trash can lids and other noise effects to really simulate a storm in So FL.

Could I possibly get a copy.
Curtis,

Sorry, I forgot to check on this site. I will send you a copy ASAP. Attached is the Finale File. If you cannot access it, let me know, and I will send you the pdf's of the piece.

BTW, if you have any suggestions on adding some more percussion effects in specific places, please feel free to offer them. This is my first exercise in conducting, so it is not to be considered a finished product.

Also, if you perform it, I would love to get a recording of your group playing it.

Paul

I would like to have a copy of this piece. I would need the pdf files though. Thanks!

The piece sounds pretty interesting. I think my kids would really enjoy playing it. I just tried to open it with Finale 2002 and Finale 2008 but neither will open the file. Which version of Finale are you using? I'd also love to get a copy of your tune. I think I can import your tune if you export it as a MIDI file.

Oh!!!! Thanks for generously sharing this tune with all of us! Much appreciated!

Paul is it possible to get this saved as a finale 2009 file? i couldn't open the file you sent Curtis. Would love to get a copy.

Thanks,

Metro

I just posted a free composition on the Band Literature forum. You may also download "Adrift" from my website.
