Description
This version of Defenders of the Realm by Jeremy Bell is part of our Alfred FLEX offerings and is designed with maximum flexibility for use by any mix of instruments---wind, strings, and percussion, including like- or mixed-ensembles with as few as 4 players. The suggested instrumentation and a customizable Teacher Map will help you plan out how to best assign parts to suit your ensemble's needs. The 4-part instrumentation will support balanced instrumentation of the lower voices. It also comes with supplemental parts for maximum flexibility. With the purchase of this piece, permission is granted to photocopy the parts as needed for your ensemble. A percussion accompaniment track is also available as a free download. String parts have been carefully edited with extra fingerings and appropriate bowings to support students in mixed ensembles playing in less familiar keys.
Inspired by fantasy-themed movies where heroes find the strength to fight and overcome great odds, Defenders of the Realm by Jeremy Bell recreates the big, epic soundtrack of a Hollywood movie for young bands. Ranges and rhythms create an impressive-sounding piece appropriate for developing musicians. (3:10)

I played this song for band class just recently! I really like the song, but it was really hard to play and record it on SmartMusic.
