Blackbeard - Randall Standridge, Concert Band (Grade .5)

​Sail the high seas in the exciting new work for beginning band by Captain Randall Standridge!  Written to sound much more mature than a beginning work, this exciting adventure in 3/4 time only uses seven different rhythms and a 6 note range to create an achievable challenge to spur the growth of your young mateys!  Pirate chants and bombastic percussion, as well as introductions to 1st/2nd endings and D.C. al Coda, make this a work that your developing musicians are sure to love!  Optional clarinet and saxophone parts that double the horn part add to the flexibility.  Rated ARRGH!
