Wingert-Jones Publications Achieves New Heights: Releases New Works for Concert Band

The latest collection of Concert Band works from Wingert-Jones Publications has arrived. Curated to aid Band Directors in fostering achievement within their ensembles, this catalog includes but is not limited to, works for occasions such as fall and spring concerts, holiday concerts, and contest and festival performances. Accompanying the release of these works are a collection of free-to-use resources that include ScoreVideos and Composer Insights Videos, as well as live professional recordings of the music available for streaming now on all major platforms and the publisher’s website.

“I am immensely proud of this year’s 2024-2025 Concert Band release for the Wingert-Jones Publications catalog,” says Tyler Arcari, Director of Music Production and Editing. “Our outstanding composers continuously find paths to new musical heights that will resonate throughout classrooms and across concert stages for years to come. We cannot wait for you, your students, and your audiences to experience the contents of this new release.”

In the spirit of adding to the Wingert-Jones Publications heritage of achievement-focused works, the publisher welcomes eight additional composers: R. Alan Carter, Jay Coles, Trestin Durant, Joshua Hobbs, Christina Huss, Robert Sheldon, Bruce W. Tippette, and Chandler L. Wilson. Their music is available alongside that of the Wingert-Jones Publications composers whom educators, students, and audiences already know and love: Tyler Arcari, Carol Brittin Chambers, Larry Clark, John Dupuis, Chris Ferguson, Mark Lortz, James Meredith, Gene Milford, William Owens, John M. Pasternak, Matthew R. Putnam, Peter Sciaino, and Jorge L. Vargas. Also available are three new additions to The Bourgeois Editions, arrangements of pieces carefully selected and scored by one of the preeminent conductors of our time, Colonel John R. Bourgeois.

The catalog has been organized to clearly delineate grade levels with the following color-coded series names to help directors select the most appropriate music for their ensembles: First Achievement (.5), Early Achievement (1), Achievement (1.5), Achievement Plus (2-2.5), Concert (3-3.5) and Symphonic (4 and up). Each score and its accompanying parts are meticulously edited and beautifully set for ease of reading and accessibility.

Wingert-Jones Publications’ 2024-2025 Concert Band music is available from music retailers and the publisher.
