n Night on FireJohn Mackey. This second
movement from the suite The Soul Has Many
Motions has a raw and brutal nature that will
definitely stand out on any program. The exotic
and at times savage sounds suggest wild dancing
around a nomadic camp fire, complete with
tambourine, multiple hand drums and harsh, biting
winds. The harsh and aggressive nature of the work
is sure to deliver an impact not soon forgotten!

n Noisy Wheels of JoyEric Whitacre. Raucous
and breathtaking, this overture by Eric Whitacre will
make a memorable opening for any concert! It's
far from the ordinary overture fare; you'll thoroughly
enjoy the unexpected melodic twists and turns so
brilliantly intertwined with more traditional, lyrical
themes. The overall effect is jubilant, somewhat
quirky, but ultimately delightful!

H
Novo LenioSamuel 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

l
Of Chivalry and ValorDavid Faleris.
Chivalry dates back to the medieval institution of
knighthood, and this work celebrates its central
tenets deeply rooted in the original chivalric code.
The militaristic opening depicts a courageous
battle where knights demonstrate their loyalty,
bravery, and valor, followed by softer and gentler
music that displays values such as generosity
and selflessness. For the finale we return to the
battlefield to witness the warriors' heroic and
hard-fought triumph.

4 Of Heroes and DemonsRob Romeyn. An epic
programmatic work that captures the fight between
good and evil. Opening with a commanding heroic
fanfare, the music then subsides into a beautifully
lyric chorale section. The musical story then
unfolds as the "demons" theme is introduced,
developed and expanded; the "heroes" theme
returns, stronger and more developed, and our
conflict between good and evil comes to a dramatic
conclusion with a brief final battle. Destined to be a
classic for concert and festival use.

n RestFrank 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.
