Daddy Sang Bass (Daddy Played Tuba) by Johnny Cash arranged for brass quintet music by Carl Perkins arranged by E.K.R. Hammell duration: 2.5 min. SHEET MUSIC (SCORE & PARTS): https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/product/daddy-sang-bass-23666766.html Written by Carl Perkins for fellow country icon Johnny Cash in 1967, “Daddy Sang Bass” is an uplifting classic country tune that borrows the chorus from the early 20th century American hymn “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.” This arrangement for brass quintet takes significant inspiration from the version of the song in “The Songs of Johnny & June,” a biographical stage show with musical arrangements by Melissa MacKenzie, and combines it with a Dixieland brass style reminiscent of classic Canadian Brass jazz arrangements by Luther Henderson. Known for featuring Johnny Cash’s distinct low register, “Daddy Sang Bass” is reimagined here as “Daddy Played Tuba”, and functions as a fun tuba spotlight number, while also giving all the other instruments opportunities to shine. Well suited for pops concerts, jazz-themed performances, and in light-hearted religious / church contexts, this showy selection is perfect for audiences young and old.

COMPOSER'S PROGRAM NOTES: "Anticipation" is a musical impression of the simple, yet visceral feeling of tension and excitement leading up to an adventure. The composer was inspired to write this piece by the prolonged wait before being permitted to return to his home province of Prince Edward Island, as the Island’s COVID restrictions eased in the summer of 2021. A bold opening section reflects an outburst of elation and validation when it becomes clear an adventure is inevitable. Then, a new faster tempo and main theme emerges and builds, exploring the feeling of wonder and excitement for all of the possibilities ahead. The following contrasting middle section gradually builds in layers—the plan for the adventure starts to take shape, becoming increasingly detailed, intricate and even devious. The main theme then returns, more fully realized and robust, as the plan for the adventure has now been made concrete. Reflecting how the feeling of anticipation is often more exciting and overwhelming than the experience itself, the piece ends with a dramatic build meant to illustrate the moment just before the plane touches down on the runway.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Main Theme for brass quintet music by Michael Giacchino arranged by E.K.R. Hammell duration: 4 min. SHEET MUSIC: https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/product/the-fantastic-four-first-steps-main-theme-23640532.html A new instant classic superhero theme from the 2025 retro-futuristic sci-fi movie, Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Composed by Michael Giacchino (The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Up, The Batman, Zootopia), arranged for brass quintet by E.K.R. Hammell. A solo trumpet opens with a maestoso presentation of the theme, over a timpani-like tuba & trombone pedal point, then joined by the ensemble. This is followed by a sweet and innocent version of the theme, played by the trombone, with a countermelody in the tuba and an accompaniment motif bouncing gently around the ensemble, mimicking the reverby synths and choir of the original. Then, the ensemble builds intensity and tempo over an increasingly insistent pedal point in the tuba. The penultimate section, re-imagining the original’s synth arppeggiations and soaring choir, then grows from quietly busy, interlocking syncopations throughout the ensemble into a final climactic fanfare presentation of the theme. At a moderate-advanced difficulty, showcasing every instrument in the ensemble, this 60’s action sci-fi throwback brass arrangement is particularly well suited for pops concerts, and film music concerts, potentially as a bombastic and showy opening fanfare, for audiences young and old.

Martha My Dear (by The Beatles) arranged for brass quintet music by John Lennon & Paul McCartney arranged by E.K.R. Hammell SHEET MUSIC: https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/product/martha-my-dear-21889994.html An oft overlooked Beatles gem written by Paul McCartney about his old English sheepdog, Martha. This brass quintet arrangement remains true to producer George Martin's charming, jaunty, ragtime-reminiscent, brass-forward orchestration from the original 1968 White Album version of the song. At a moderate-advanced difficulty, showcasing every instrument in the ensemble, this fun, swinging, and uplifting arrangement is ideal for pops concerts, animal-themed performances for children, or as a lighthearted yet energetizing encore, for audiences young and old.

SANDCASTLES for wind dectet [2022, revised 2025] E.K.R. Hammell Commissioned by the Band Room Podcast Consortium Project and premiered by the Arizona State University Wind Ensemble, Dylan Rook Maddix - conductor. PURCHASE / PREVIEW SCORE: https://www.ekrhammell.com/product-page/sandcastles-wind-dectet-pdf-full-set Demo performance recording built using NotePerformer. For more original music and arrangements by Canadian composer E.K.R. Hammell, visit https://www.ekrhammell.com SUBSCRIBE for more score videos from E.K.R. Hammell Music. COMPOSER'S PROGRAM NOTES: "Sandcastles" is a piece for wind dectet and optional percussion, commissioned by the Band Room Podcast Consortium Project in late 2022 for premiere performance by the Arizona State University Wind Ensemble under the direction of Dylan Maddix. At the onset of this project, the only thematic instruction from the lead commissioner on the consortium (Dylan), was that it should somehow fit into the recital theme of “Home.” Knowing firsthand about the awe-inspiring red sandstone formations of both Arizona (where the piece is to be premiered), and Epekwitk/Prince Edward Island (my home province, as well as the Dylan’s), I knew there was a piece of music lurking somewhere in the sands... I never could have predicted how current events would then impact the trajectory of this piece. On Saturday September 24th 2022, the same week I had begun sketching out ideas for this piece in earnest, Hurricane Fiona made landfall in Atlantic Canada. Fiona irreversibly altered the beautiful shoreline landscape of our home province, including the destruction many iconic sandstone formations and picturesque dunes. I knew fairly quickly that this new work was an opportunity for me to draw out the many feelings I was having at the time. As I began to dive into the writing, I eventually honed in on the idea of sandcastles, believing them to be rich with the symbolism I was hoping to explore in the piece. Sandcastles represent a singular moment of innocent youthful escapism — however, due to their fragile, ephemeral nature, they’re destined to last for only a brief window of time. With this piece I aim to provide the listener with a brief escape into a cherished childhood memory, fully embracing the playful innocence that we all work so hard to stamp out of ourselves. I also hope to use this piece as a commemoration of the special places in our lives, and to tackle the heart-aching notion that many memories may never be recreated. Special thanks to each of of our wonderful consortium members who helped support the creation of the original wind dectet version of this work: Arizona State University, Beibei Jia, Murray Lefebvre, Mount Allison University, Ventus Machina, McMaster University, Gillian MacKay, Toronto Youth Wind Orchestra.

Hammell, visit https://www.ekrhammell.com SUBSCRIBE for more score videos from E.K.R. Hammell Music. COMPOSER'S PROGRAM NOTES: "Stardust Dunes" depicts a moment in time on a crystal-clear night during the Perseid Meteor Shower, at one of my favourite beaches on Prince Edward Island. The waves ebbed calmly, yet persistently. Occasionally, shooting stars arced overhead, one of which appeared so close and so bright that it seemed to light up the entire beach in a flash of brilliant white light, disappearing from view as quickly as it appeared into the darkness of the sand dunes. Drawing from my experience that night, and building upon imagery of sand, sea, and space, this piece was written as an attempt to explore the spiritual link between ourselves and the awe-inspiring physical world we inhabit.

PROGRAM NOTES: The inspiration behind RESCUE, while giving impressions of fantastical adventure and heroism, is actually grounded in everyday reality. At its heart, this piece is for young people, about young people. In our youth, we often rely on people close to us to rescue us from moments of distress. Additionally, our youth is a period when we develop the ability to see beyond our immediate surroundings, and serve a purpose greater than our own. Rescue is a celebration of this exciting, tumultuous time in our lives and everything that becomes of it. Copyright © 2020-2023 Evan Hammell E.K.R.
