All compositions are composed by Australian composer Harri Harding, with some of the works being collaborations with students and professional artists from around the world (as mentioned in the song descriptions).
These works come in your choice of CONCERT BAND or FLEXIBLE ENSEMBLE arrangements.
They are grouped into: Concert Band Music (intermediate to advanced), Training Band Music (suitable for beginners) and Warm Ups.
We also do CUSTOM ARRANGEMENTS to suit your specific instrumentation. Please contact us (before purchase) if you would like a custom arrangement.
These works are hard to categorise by traditional concert band grading levels. Most are composed for primary (elementary) school bands but are great for bands of differing levels as they have catchy melodies and room for improvisation and expansion. They have been played by bands ranging from beginner/intermediate to professional adult ensembles. Although many of the songs have syncopated rhythms not usually found in early band levels, they are used in repetitive and catchy ways easy for students to learn and understand. Our training band charts range in level from about 0.5 - 1.5 and our concert band works sit between 1.5 - 5. Have a look and listen, or email us for recommendations on which works would suit your ensemble.
All works that include improvisation come with information for the conductor on how to facilitate improvisation within the rehearsal and performance, and advice for the students to assist with home practice.
