Concert Band - Level 3 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.1144218

Composed by Galt Macdermot, Gerome Ragni, and James Rado. Arranged by Adrian Erik Horvath. This edition: pdf, streaming. Broadway, Film/TV, Musical/Show, Rock. 41 pages. Adrian Erik Horvath #744539. Published by Adrian Erik Horvath (A0.1144218).

Black Boys is a short but energetic number from the musical Hair, composed by Galt MacDermot with lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado. In this wind band arrangement the piece retains the lively, playful spirit of the original while translating its character into the colorful sound world of the concert wind ensemble.

The arrangement emphasizes rhythmic vitality and bright ensemble colors. Short, punchy melodic phrases move quickly between sections of the band, creating a vivid and theatrical atmosphere. Brass and woodwinds alternate in presenting the thematic material, supported by a light but energetic rhythmic foundation that keeps the music constantly in motion.

Because of the compact length of the piece, this arrangement works particularly well when performed together with White Boys, mirroring the sequence used in the film version of Hair. The two numbers complement each other musically and dramatically, forming a short but effective concert segment when played consecutively.

An optional vocal part is also included, allowing the arrangement to be performed either as a purely instrumental concert piece or in a version closer to the original stage and film tradition.
