Carl Fischer Performance Series, Medium Easy Band, Grade 3

High sea adventure music from start to finish, this symphonic homage to the life of a pirate makes a wonderful concert piece. The brilliance of the opening has a truly nautical feel, while the haunting flute solo captures a sense of longing for distant shores. A vibrant and exciting work!

Written with the great movie cavaliers and heroes of yore in mind, Swashbuckler is a solid A-B-A from romp through 6/8 and 4/4.  As always, the heroes win (and so will your students).  A great piece to introduce or reinforce 6/8 rhythmic patterns, and a perfect selection for less experienced groups or smaller instrumentation.
