CONCERT & CONTEST medium-easy
l Factory Child (Sweatshop Protest Song)—Ed
Kiefer. Unrelenting factory sounds with a repetitive
rhythm pattern greet the listener at the very
outset. Following this heavy beginning are more
wistful, dreamlike sounds that echo with traces of
children's songs. This soon gives way to a return
of the stark mechanized music of the opening,
bringing the workday to a raucous close.

this piece sets up an incredible mechanical groove

and gritty percussion give the effect of playing in a

along. Very unique and very engaging!

4 Fanfare and Processional—James Barnes.
This celebrated composer has created a rousing
concert opener that will have young bands
sounding immensely impressive. The resounding
and attention-grabbing opening fanfare introduces
a regal processional that glows with might and

Fanfare for a New Age—Michael Story. Just the
selection needed to begin your next concert! The
spectacular sound of the full band chords leave
no doubt that the concert has begun. Woodwinds
and mallets then establish a rhythmic ostinato.
This rhythm then becomes the foundation for the
charming melody that is the basis of the work. An
impressive and memorable work.

full band statements.

H Fanfare for the Common Man—Aaron Copland/
arr. Longfield. This may well be the most famous
fanfare ever written! Available for standard wind
band instrumentation, the key has been lowered
and technical demands modified so it's playable by
a wide range of concert bands. A superb adaptation
that maintains all the power and majesty of
the original.

Fanfare for the Third Planet—Richard
Saucedo. A dedication to our own planet Earth,
this impressive piece features a rhythmic vitality
throughout, along with fresh harmonies and skilled
orchestral devices. Amid the powerful fanfare-like
phrases, a brief calm section is created using the
woodwinds and a unique layering effect before
building to the dynamic ending. Using one tempo
throughout, this is a great piece for young players.

l Feuerfest Polka Op. 269 (Solo Anvil with
Band Accompaniment)—Josef Strauss/arr.
Robert Longfield. This delightful Strauss polka is
an outstanding program choice either as a stylish
and lilting polka or as a fun tongue-in-cheek solo
feature. Of course, every band needs an anvil
solo, and with this you can feature your best
percussionist (or your principal, the mayor, or any
other special guest). The music is delightful and it's
lots of fun for the band and the audience.

Fire Dance (Build-A-Band)—David Shaffer.
A very popular band piece for many years, this
arrangement for the Build-A-Band Series retains all
of the fun and excitement of the original, but allows
it to sound great with very small bands or bands
that have instrumentation issues. Also included are
multiple percussion parts as well as an optional
piano part for increased flexibility.

employs a large percussion section, and has your
wind players playing aggressively. It's two-minutes
of nonstop excitement!

4 Fivefold—Michael Oare. As the title implies,
this remarkable composition contains several
references to the number five. The 5/4 meter is
an obvious connection; more subtle is the clever
and prominent use of the interval of a fifth. Also,
remarkably, only five different pitches are used
except for two measures near the end. Despite
using a single tempo throughout, the colorful variety
in textures and moods are especially appealing.

Flight of Valor—James Swearingen. The
emotional depth of this work will touch everyone
in your audience. It was commissioned by
the community band of Somerset County,
Pennsylvania in honor of those on United Flight
93 that lost their lives on September 11, 2001.
Based on the beloved hymn It Is Well With My
Soul, you will not find a more deeply moving
musical tribute to the events of that day. It is
reflective, intense, somber and inspiring. Very
highly recommended.

H Flourish for Wind Band—Ralph Vaughan Williams.
With a tempo indication of maestoso and a time
signature of 3/4 throughout, this melodic gem
offers real musical rewards with minimal rehearsal.
An excellent opportunity to work on intonation,
phrasing and dynamics, while technical demands
are very modest.

Foiled Again! (The Villain's Gallop)—Jack Wilds.
Program this alternative to a traditional concert
march as the opener or closer for your next concert!
This tribute to the dastardly villains of the silent
movie era will excite your performers and have your
audience on the edge of their seats as they wonder
whether the hero will arrive in time to save the day.
Fun and exhilarating!

For Heaven and the Future—Samuel R. Hazo.
The title of this expansive work draws inspiration
from a poem by Robert Frost, and the thematic
material is a creative interpretation of the English
folk song Seventeen Come Sunday. Differing from
Vaughan William's treatment, this setting remains
at a slow tempo throughout, undergoing a myriad of
harmonic and textural variations. It's beautifully and
effectively paced with key impact points occurring
at just the right moments.

l The Forge of Freedom—Travis J. Weller. George
Washington and the Continental Army's withdrawal
to Valley Forge was one of the darkest chapters of
the Revolutionary War. The demoralized mood of
the troops is conveyed by the Revolutionary-era
hymn Chester in a minor setting. The tempo then
picks up, ushering in a new spirit as the Continental
Army perseveres through the harsh winter and
becomes a hardened fighting force. Finally, Chester
is triumphantly presented in a major key as the
now-formidable army emerges, ready to take up
the fight and secure America's independence.

Foundry—John Mackey. The first piece for band
at this grade level by this popular and most creative
composer. The concept of this fascinating work is
to introduce percussionists to the idea that there
are more imaginative ways to perform other than
with the traditional percussion instruments. Using
"found" percussion instruments in addition to
creative wind parts, the piece creates a life of its
own to the delight of musicians and audiences!

Gadget—Randall D. Standridge. Intriguing sound
effects from the percussion section bring this
dynamic piece to life. The winds provide energy
with contrasting melodic and rhythmic lines,
creating tension through dissonance. Sure to be
a concert favorite, especially for those who are
mechanically minded.
