The Village of Elburn (march for concert band)

The Kaneland marches:
The Village of Maple Park
The Village of Kaneville
The Village of Sugar Grove
The Village of Elburn

This march opens with an introduction that foreshadows the main theme. The clarinets, flutes and piccolos introduce the main theme with a woodblock keeping time and the low woodwinds playing the bass line. The euphoniums and horns play a counter-melody that sways like the branches of a tree in a summer wind.

As the main theme repeats, we add more instruments, until the entire band is playing, including an additional counter-melody played by the trombones, second and third trumpets, and tenor saxes.

Any Elburn resident will tell you that it is common for your commuting, shopping, or errand-running to be held up a bit as all traffic on both Highway 47 and First Street stops to allow the passage of a freight train on the busy Union Pacific main line running between Chicago and the west coast. This scene is depicted in the march.

After the train rolls through, the trumpets and horns play a dramatic theme accompanied by the rest of the brass and snare drum. During the second playing of this theme, the piccolos play a descant, turning our drum-and-bugle corps into a fife-and-drum-and-bugle corps.

A somewhat longer reprise of the introduction leads back to the main theme, played by the full band.

The piece ends with yet another reprise of the introduction.

WE SEEK RECORDINGS TO USE AS DEMOS
The majority of our sheet music pieces use electronically-produced demos on the item pages. We would much prefer to use actual recordings, so if you email us a digital recording or link to an online video and we end up using it as a demo on our site (fully credited), we will send you a coupon code good for US$25 toward your next purchase from our site.

BLANKET RECORDING POLICY FOR SHEET MUSIC
Many of our sheet music licenses state that the purchaser does not have the right to record the work. We have modified our policy on this, and unless the license page states that you must obtain permission from a party other than www.tributek.com to record the work, we will allow a small number (less than 50) of copies of an audio or video recording of a live performance to be made and distributed and/or posted to a free web site for viewing/listening, so long as www.tributek.com, the composer, arranger, and lyricist are credited.

A customer commented: "Today I made my first purchase from Tributek. Every aspect of the transaction exceeded my expectations. The description of the product included a Quicktime demo in addition to a clear, interesting, well-written description of the product. The price of the product was a bargain. The ordering process could not have been easier or faster. I will definitely shop with Tributek again!"

Another customer commented: "I would like to compliment you on the ease of purchasing music on-line. I require the music for a wedding in a couple of weeks, and didn't want to wait for music to be sent in the mail. It was great to be able to hear the music and to know the length of the PDF file and performance time."

Another customer writes: "I bought some choral music off your site. It's great. I hope we can do all of it in our church. I don't know how you can sell it so cheap. It's a great service you offer."
