About this collection
Ira Hearshen Sheet Music
Ira Hearshen's sheet music collection features concert band arrangements and original works built for advanced ensembles. His popular Symphony on Themes of John Philip Sousa series transforms classic marches into multi-movement concert pieces, with individual movements available as conductor scores or full conductor score and parts packages.
Who it's for
- Concert band and symphonic band directors seeking Grade 4-6 repertoire
- Programs building patriotic or Americana-themed concerts
- Ensembles comfortable with Sousa's marches and their thematic variations
What's inside

Things to consider
Most of Hearshen's popular titles come in two formats: conductor score alone, or conductor score bundled with parts. If you're directing the piece, order the score and parts together to avoid a second purchase. All works cluster around Grade 5, so this collection works best for groups comfortable at that level or slightly above.
