"March for Joy" for Concert Band

Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is most well known for its setting of “Ode to Joy” - a melody most band students will know! March for Joy uses this well loved melody as its inspiration to celebrate learning the fist six notes of the Bb scale and is playable after completing the first few pages of most modern method books. Beginning with a powerful fanfare based on the theme, March for Joy moves through a simple setting, a minor arrangement, and powerful ending statement!

I hope you and your students enjoy this piece!
