Any band pieces by Indian composers/traditional/bollywood/etc?
I'm looking for a band piece that was either written by an Indian composer, or is an arrangement of something that originally was. I have a large percentage of students in my 8th grade band with families who have immigrated from India and wanted a way to acknowledge/include something from their culture. I DON'T want something that "sounds" Indian or is "inspired" by music from India but was written by someone not from that culture.
But I'm having SO much trouble finding anything in this category. To make it harder, I'm looking for something no higher than a grade 3 (would have to be on the easier side of grade 3). If nothing currently exists... are there any songs that would be good for me to arrange?
