H Novo Lenio—Samuel Hazo. This is a Samuel
Hazo's National Band Association award-winning
composition, a continuous three-movement
work that offers various styles and much to keep
your interest. Based on a school alma mater, the
sections are varied in mood yet cohesive in thematic
material. The first movement, Remembrance, is
somewhat somber in tone; the second movement
Qui Non Proficit Deficit is more dissonant; and the
final movement A New Beginning is meant to sound
full and proud.

your performers. We are proud to give this our

Our Kingsland Spring (Flex Band)—Samuel
R. Hazo. Samuel Hazo's very successful work for
younger players features a balance between light and

4 Pedal to the Metal—David R. Gillingham. The
title means full speed ahead and is the inspiration
for this driving 6/8 musical dynamo. The title is
also appropriate in that metal instruments play a
prominent role in the orchestration. The important
progression of the piece is about starting with a
small, fragmented idea and elaborating on it,
enhanced by an array of metallic percussion
until it grows into the final, spectacular
finished product.

Perthshire Majesty—Sam Hazo. Lovely and
grand, this original ballad by Sam Hazo really sings
of Scotland! A magnificent musical landscape
of County Perthshire, Scotland, this one has a
beautifully lush Scottish sound. A lyrical soprano
sax solo opens the piece and is joined by a rich
complement of woodwinds and brass. It's an
enchanting work that radiates warmth and is
the winner of the 2003 William Revelli Memorial
Composition Contest sponsored by the National
Band Association.

Prairie Dances—David Holsinger. Taking a page
from Bernstein and Copland in both rhythms and
harmonies, Holsinger has fashioned this portrait of
the cattle region of Texas. Full of the rambunctious
rhythms of the cowboy towns and a brief view of the
wide plains, this is an engaging piece for performer

Bach/arr. Moehlmann. Preserving the rich texture
of the original by using the modern symphonic

of a huge concert pipe organ, this proven Baroque
transcription is exceptionally strong!

l Quintescent Journey—Lisa Galvin. This energetic
work will be the perfect addition to any performance!
The opening resonates with rhythmic ostinati and
changing time signatures in stark contrast to the
peaceful, serene style of the next section, featuring
expressive solos for flute, trumpet and horn. The
tranquility of the middle section gives way to the
decisive and celebratory sounds of the inspirational
finish. A complete musical presentation!

Red Rock Mountain—Rossano Galante. This
composition is an episodic work that paints a
musical portrait of a beautiful mountain landscape.
Brass fanfares and soaring wind lines begin the
piece, transitioning into an emotional section
depicting the mountains at dusk. As the sun rises
and sheds light on its peaks, the music becomes
lyrical and rhythmically incisive, culminating in a
heroic brass finale that depicts the full grandeur of
the mountains.

Rephrygeration—Todd Stalter. A dynamic
concert opener or closer that will most certainly cast
a spell over your audience. Fast and furious from
the outset, the breathtaking figures dart and weave

l
Resignation—Ed Kiefer. Although technically
very easy, this composition will develop a maturity
of musicianship when rehearsed and performed.
Written as a tribute to a lost friend, the hymn
tune My Shepherd Will Supply My Need conveys
the appropriate sentiment. This setting will give
everyone a greater appreciation for the way music
can help us express our feelings and emotions.

Rest—Frank Ticheli. A lyric and moving adaptation
of an earlier SATB choral work, There Will Be Rest.
In creating this setting, the harmony, dynamics and
registration of the original have been preserved,
allowing the fragile beauty and quiet dignity to be
maintained. And while the concert band is faithful
to the choral, certain aspects have been enhanced
which keeps it independent, having its own
strengths and unique qualities.

Rise of the Silver City—Rossano Galante. The
sweeping sounds and cinematic nature that we
look forward to from this accomplished composer
are all apparent in this resonate work. The title of
this colorful composition is derived from the city
of Meriden, Connecticut that was once the silver
capital of the world. Echoing brass flourishes,
lyrical woodwind lines and stately themes combine
to drive this majestic piece to its heroic climax.

The Rite of Spring (Excerpts from)—Igor
Stravinsky/arr. Robert Buckley. The premier
performance of this masterwork is the stuff of
legends with disagreements whether it was the
music or the choreography that caused the near-
riot of the audience. Considered to be one of the
most influential works of the 20th century, this
work laid the basis for modern jazz, film music
and even heavy metal. It's all here: the driving
rhythms, the haunting Russian folk melodies,
the brilliant scoring, the crunching harmonies
and the epic drama! True to the original, this one
is a valued and important addition to the wind
band repertoire!

l Ritmico (for Concert Band)—James Barnes.
Bold and bright, this substantial work for concert
band provides serious musical material that
is both resolute and impressive. Punctuated
staccato rhythm figures propel the music forward,
contrasting nicely with sustained and majestic
melodies through the main portion of the work.
A lush and flowing middle section presents an
alternate style before a brisk and echoing recap
finishes the piece in grand style.

H River of Life—Steven Reineke. We urge you
to look at this important work! This composer
is the resident composer for the Cincinnati
Pops Orchestra and we feel that this is an
incredible composition...the highs, the lows,
the development, the scoring, the transitions,
the themes...all point to a piece that must be
given a place in the band repertoire. Best of all,
is that this work will appeal on several levels, the
melodies and rhythms immediately grab you, but
on a deeper level, the composer's skill is quite
evident. Our highest recommendations!

Scarborough Fair—arr. Andrew Boysen Jr. This
fiery setting of the well-known folk song starts
quietly, then builds to a heart-pounding finish. As
this arrangement makes up the final movement
of "Three Folk Song Settings for Band," intriguing
musical references to the previous two movements
create added interest.

Scramble—Todd Stalter. A tumultuous concert
opener or closer intended to depict two characteristics
of the title, the frantic collecting of things together in
a disorderly way, and darting about quickly with a
sense of urgency. Once the theme is presented the
fun really starts! The action revs up as the musical
"parts" are separated and combined in unique and
haphazard combinations, all at break-neck speed
that will leave everyone breathless!

l Sea of Tranquility (The Seas of the Moon,
Movement 1)—Robert Buckley. Since the dawn
of humanity we've been mesmerized by the moon
and what we thought to be "seas" on the surface.
The Sea of Tranquility is probably the best-known
of these thanks to the landing of Apollo 11 in
1969. This first movement from the larger four-
movement suite captures the astronauts' sense
of awe and wonder, from the explosive lift-off to
flowing weightlessness and finally the triumph and
jubilation of the historic lunar landing.

H Sea Songs—Ralph Vaughan Williams. One of
the simpler works by Vaughan Williams for band,
this setting of English sea songs was originally

straightforward, resulting in a most rewarding yet
highly playable work.

dreamlike work captures the undulating rhythm of
a mother rocking her child to sleep. The piece was

Seal." Magical!
