best music from the 20th century!

l Esprit de CorpsRobert Jager. Originally
commissioned by the United States Marine Band
of Washington, D.C., Col. John R. Bourgeois,
conductor, this fantasy-march is based upon
The Marine's Hymn and serves as a tribute to
the Marine Corps as well as to the Marine Band.
Composed immediately after the 1983 bombing
of the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, the
composer chose to forego an elegy-type tribute
in favor of a work that reflects the positive spirit
of the Corps, full of energy and dynamism. Even
the tempo marking Tempo di Bourgeois reflects the
dramatic and spirited conducting of Col. John R.
Bourgeois, who was conductor of the Marine Band
at the time of composing.

works from the famous Leopold Stowkowski

and includes the piano part exactly as played by
Grainger himself. A true classic.

n Symphony No. 5 FinaleDimitri Shostakovich/

from Dimitri Shostakovich is transformed into this

regional orchestras.

n Variations on a Shaker Melody (from
"Appalachian Spring")Aaron Copland. This
tuneful and graceful excerpt from "Appalachian
Spring" is one of Copland's most "American"
works, famous for his use of the Shaker tune, Gift
to be Simple. Written primarily with dancer Martha
Graham in mind, Copland himself describes the
music as being much like Graham herself, "..she's
unquestionably very American: there's something
prim and restrained, simple yet strong, about
her which one tends to think of as American."
Orchestra Set contains strings: 8-8-6-6-6.

Blunderbuss Battles (Adventure on the High
Seas)Ralph Ford. Enjoy this exciting musical
depiction of pirate days and battles on the high
seas. This piece provides many textures, alternating
between tutti, string, brass, and woodwind choirs,
as well as unison section lines throughout. So,
shiver me timbers and load the Blunderbuss. Aaahr!

Dark AdventureRalph Ford. It's ghostly! It's
creepy! Your orchestra will love it! From the driving
opening motives to the quirky gypsy-sounding
theme, this is haunted-house music at its best! You
can play this with either full or string orchestra, but
the percussion section is really vital and should be
used in both cases. This is recommended and will
thrill and delight your audience! A winner!
2466837 String Orch or Full Orch . . ME 58.00
Engines of ResistanceLarry Clark. You will
want to program this thrilling music often! As the
title implies, there is dramatic tension between
opposing forces in the orchestra: a light ostinato
pattern opposes a heavy, aggressive melody; bursts
of percussion ring out against quieter moments in
the orchestra, and all these conflicting elements
come together for an incredible finish! Can be
performed as strings and percussion, or as a full
orchestra. A contest winner!

l Late Autumn and Snowy SplendorJeff
Frost. The Keweenaw Peninsula is located in
the northwestern part of the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan. It is surrounded by Lake Superior on the
west, north and east sides. From the late 1800's
through the early 1960's copper was mined there.
There are still remnants of multiple mines and hoists
scattered about the hilly country side. This area can
get around 180" of snow each year and winters can
be long yet beautiful. There are waterfalls scattered
in the hilly countryside that are quite beautiful
in the spring and summer.I attended Michigan
Technological University from 2002-2006 which is
located in Houghton, Michigan. Houghton is called
the "Gateway to the Keweenaw." I composed this
piece to paint a picture of the Keweenaw with its
waterfalls, hilly country, the sun rising and setting
over Lake Superior, and the winter splendor.
Because many people on the Keweenaw Peninsula
are of Finnish descent, I incorporated the Finnish
National Anthem into the melodic material.

Medieval LegendMike Story. A striking
fanfare announces this fantasy for orchestra that
conjures up visions of knights and kings, wizards
and sorcerers. Outstanding teaching opportunities
abound in this driving and dynamic composition.
It will be perfect as either a festival or concert
selection. Scored for full orchestra, this piece is
also completely playable by string orchestra alone,
or with any number of added winds or percussion.

Second StormRobert W. Smith. Inspired by the
devastating hurricane season during the summer
of 2004, this begins with a melodic "calm before
the storm" introduction; and as the fury of Mother
Nature is unleashed, the work develops using
strong unison impacts with driving rhythmic figures
to capture the intensity of the event in sound. Your
intermediate orchestra will sound big and bold.
2481119 String Orch or Full Orch . . ME 63.00
The TempestRobert W. Smith/arr. McCashin.
What a powerful work! The sense of urgency and
excitement created by this wild original composition
is nothing short of awesome! Relentless ostinatos
and striking minor melodies combine and drive a
tense sound that will make your orchestra sound
like the Philharmonic! In concert, your audience
will be gripping their seats, and in festival your
orchestra will present a dazzling performance. The
Tempest will take your listeners by storm!

The Great Locomotive ChaseRobert W.
Smith. On April 12, 1862, one of the most daring
exploits of the Civil War occurred: the theft of the
Confederate supply train called The General. What
followed became one of the most dramatic events
of the war. Robert W. Smith has captured that
excitement and set it to music that will thrill your
audience and inspire your players! The orchestra is
so expertly used that the listeners can easily imagine
the events as they hear train whistles, the clang
of bells and the frenzied chugging of overworked
engines down to the desperate last gasps! This will
be the highlight of any performance!

n HatikvahElliot Del Borgo. A "tour de force!"
Elliot Del Borgo takes a simple, but very meaningful
folk tune and turns it into an extended concert
masterwork! Hatikvah is the national anthem of
Israel. This dynamic arrangement brings out the
heart and soul of the tune while bringing it through
so many changes. From the dramatic opening to a
"Hora"-style dance passage, and even into a brief
fugue, Elliot Del Borgo has brought his considerable
skills to bear on this one! A challenging and
rewarding work!

Into the StormRobert W. Smith. What an
