Henry Fillmore wrote dozens of marches, but Lord Baltimore remains one of his best-kept secrets — and this arrangement is your chance to change that. Filled with thrilling fanfares, sweeping dynamic contrasts, and an irresistible rhythmic pulse, this is the kind of march that energizes players in rehearsal and stops audiences in their tracks at performance.
Medium in difficulty and well-suited for high school and college concert bands, Lord Baltimore offers something genuinely fresh for programs that have cycled through the standard march repertoire one too many times. It programs equally well as a concert opener, a standalone feature, or a rousing closer — the fanfare writing and dramatic contrasts give it natural shape and momentum from start to finish.
Flexible and optional parts along with simplified doublings allow directors to adapt the scoring to available instrumentation without losing the march's energy and drive. Included historical and program notes give audiences and students the context to appreciate Fillmore's outsized contribution to the American march tradition — and make a strong case for why this one deserves a place alongside his better-known works.
A sparkling, high-energy galop by Francis Johnson — one of the most significant and underrepresented figures in American band music history — arranged for concert band and accessible to a wide range of ensembles. Medium in difficulty, Victoria Gallop is short, stylistically distinctive, and genuinely fun to play, making it an ideal addition to any concert program without placing undue demands on your players.
The piece works equally well as a concert opener, a program contrast piece, or an adjudication warm-up — its brevity and character make it versatile across contexts. Flexible and optional parts along with simplified doublings give directors the tools to adapt the scoring to available instrumentation, so the arrangement works whether your band is large or small.
Included historical and program notes give directors and students the context to appreciate Johnson's remarkable place in American musical history — making this not just a performance opportunity but a meaningful curricular one, particularly for programming centered on the contributions of Black composers to the American band tradition.
