"Jubilation" for Concert Band

Jubilation is a feeling of great happiness and triumph - an appropriate feeling having already made it this far in beginning band! Using only the first five pitches of the Bb Scale and basic rhythms, this exciting piece starts with a strong introduction that is punctuated by the snare. The Upper voices play a familiar melody from the intro with accompaniment before being similarly punctuated. The Mid voices get a turn to play a version of the same melody with accompaniment with a new percussion instrument color and the Low voices get an inversion of the melody before returning to the opening music as a Coda.

I hope you and your students enjoy this piece!
