Additional info/contents	It is only natural that Universal Edition turns to their excellent pedagogical composer James Rae to kick off their new “Concert Band Collection,“ a new series of works perfect for school bands. “I have composed with the aim of providing directors of elementary level bands with original material that will both inspire and challenge their musicians. The pieces are all tuneful and in very accessible musical styles designed to make the band sound at its very best. An optional supportive piano part has been included for those situations where there is not a full compliment of instruments.” -- James Rae 2019 Each volume contains two intriguing pieces for advancing young bands. 1. Secret Fairground 2. Blue Strut

Programme notes *: It was a sunny Saturday morning when the small town's youth brass band entered the rehearsal room. The young musicians had worked hard over the last few weeks and prepared for their upcoming concert. One of the pieces they were supposed to play was "Blue Strut" by James Rae. "Blue Strut" was a challenge for the orchestra. The piece was full of jazzy rhythms and bluesy melodies, and the young musicians had to work hard to find the right swing and mood. But despite the challenges, they had fun performing the piece. It was something different from the classical pieces they usually played and it gave them the opportunity to show off their musical abilities in a new way. When the day of the concert came, the young musicians were excited and nervous. They had rehearsed hard and wanted to do their best. When they stepped on stage and played the first few bars of "Blue Strut," all nerves and excitement melted away. The music flowed through them and they played with passion and dedication. The audience was enthusiastic about the orchestra's performance. They clapped and cheered, and when the piece ended, they rose from their seats and applauded loudly. The young musicians were proud of their performance and happy that they had the chance to play "Blue Strut" by James Rae. The story of "Blue Strut" and the youth wind orchestra shows how music can bring people together and inspire. It is an example of how a piece of music can not only evoke joy and enthusiasm, but can also help to encourage and support young musicians.
