One of my favorite composers, Eric Whitacre has transcribed one of his newer choral pieces "The Seal Lullaby" for Youth Wind Ensemble (Grade 2-3) The grade level for band music goes up to level 6 as the highest difficulty to play. In an era when many composers of modern music write complex music for complexity's sake, it's nice to know that some composers understand that music at its core is an emotional enterprise, and not an intellectual one.
Enjoy!
