Welcome to the JV Music store! We are your source for finding arrangements for Brass Quintet, Brass Ensembles, Concert Band and more.
All our arrangements are by Jari Villanueva, a former member of the Air Force, where he served for 23 years with the United States Air Force Band in Washington, DC. During his time in the band, he held various roles, including trumpeter, bugler, assistant drum major, staff arranger, and music copyist. He is regarded as the country’s foremost expert on military bugle calls, particularly the call of Taps, which is played at military funerals.
Goin' Home (GoingHome) for Flute Choir Arranged by Jari Villanueva (6 flutes and alto flute)
"Goin' Home," is based on the Czech composer Antonin Dvorak's famous "Largo" theme from his Symphony No. 9 (5) (From the New World), Op. 95. His symphony was composed while he was in America and was first performed by the New York Philharmonic at Carnegie Hall on December 16, 1893. It has been said that Dvorak's themes in his symphony were inspired by American folk melodies, especially Afro-American or American Indian. But his themes are just as similar to Bohemian folk music and most likely from that music.
This arrangement is based on the one played in the movie “Clear and Present Danger” by the United States Air Force Band. It has been used at presidential funerals for the departure ceremonies at Andrews Air Force Base for Presidents Reagan and Ford and was used in 1998 for the dis-interment ceremony for the Vietnam Unknown at Arlington National Cemetery. It is still used today by military bands at Arlington.
