n 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!

H River of LifeSteven 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!

performance techniques. A colorful and refreshing
addition to the repertoire for concert band.

Scarborough Fairarr. 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.

ScrambleTodd 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!

dreamlike work captures the undulating rhythm of

adaptation of the landmark work for band, the
extreme ranges have been adjusted for young
players, the instrumentation has been updated to
that of the contemporary concert band and liberal
cues have been added, particularly for oboe,
bassoon and horn. The integrity of the original

experience for young bands.

H SedonaSteven Reineke. Don't miss this
distinctive composition! Having has had several
wonderful pieces published already, this successful
composer has captured in musical ideas the natural
landscape of mountains and wide open spaces,
and uses them to paint a musical canvas that is
at once bold, entertaining, and filled with life. A
short, memorable theme runs throughout the work,
showing up in a delicate flute solo, an intricate
woodwind fugue, a warm trombone solo, and a
bold, triadic trumpet statement that will pick you
up right out of your seat. A marvelous piece that we
highly recommend to all bands!

n SerenityOla Gjeilo/trans. J. Eric Wilson.
Beautifully arranged by J. Eric Wilson along with
the composer, this version for wind band maintains
all the wonder and magic of the original choral
work. The opening is ethereal and somber, with
sustained chords in clarinets and bowed percussion
supporting a delicate oboe solo. The middle section
shifts the principal modality from minor to major,
and the layering orchestration and rising tessitura
creates a tremendous rush of energy that leads to
a triumphant climax. The closing section returns
to the timbre of the opening, but now painted with
hopefulness and healing.

Shock WaveGary D. Ziek. Driven by a constant
sense of propulsion and rippling waves of motion,
this piece is aptly titled. The initial shock is provided
by the percussion, leading to a tension filled
section with multiple layers of sound scattered
throughout the ensemble. Each new entrance is
accompanied by solo percussion, building musical
pressure to a frenzied, swirling conclusion with the
percussion providing one final "aftershock" for a
resounding finish.

n Short Ride in a Fast MachineJohn Adams/
arr. Saucedo. Composed in 1986, this fast-paced
and dynamic work took the symphonic world by
storm. Available here in a playable setting for school
ensembles, Richard Saucedo transposed the key
down a third from the original and skillfully adapted
some of the more complicated rhythmic patterns
without sacrificing any of the excitement and drive. A
wonderful introduction to "minimalist" music and one
of America's treasured contemporary composers.

n Shortcut HomeDana Wilson. Shortcut Home
is a rousing fanfare that features each section of
the ensemble. With exciting drive and jazz-based
interludes, the piece cascades towards its home
of C-major. Shortcut Home is a perfect attention-
grabber for the opening or close of a concert. (2:55)

4 Shrine of the FallenBrian Balmages. Written
in response to the tragic events in Kiev in 2014,
this music draws on the old Ukrainian folk song
Plyve Kacha, which became an anthem for many
protestors as a symbol of national pride while also
mourning the fallen. Described by the composer as
Arabian Dances meets Moscow, 1941, the music is
incredibly powerful yet introspective. Quotes of the
Ukrainian national anthem add to the intensity of the
music, which features the instrumentalists singing
in four-part harmony at the very end of the piece.
Absolutely stunning!

n Simple Gifts: Four Shaker Songsarr. Frank
Ticheli. In this fine four-movement work, Ticheli
pays homage to authentic Shaker music as he, in
his own words, "sought subtle ways to preserve
their simple, straightforward beauty." The work is
based on the songs: In Yonder Valley; Dance; Hear,
Take This Lovely Flower and Simple Gifts. Some of
the movements can stand alone in performance, as
your programming needs dictate.

Sky BoundTodd Stalter. Inspired by a poem
by an ancient Persian poet, this work celebrates
the triumph of the human spirit. The imagery of
ascension is evident in the rising musical motives,
and the energy and drive of the music concludes
with an affirmation of hope.

t SleepEric Whitacre. This expressive, lush choral
work by Eric Whitacre combines an enigmatic
text and expansive chordal harmonies into a
sublime musical statement of release and quiet
resolve. With a text by celebrated American poet
Charles Anthony Silvestri, it is a particularly moving
perspective on the journey into sleep and, finally, to
dream. Stunning!

4 Snowflakes DancingAndrew Boysen. Infectious
rhythms and melodies permeate this many-layered
composition. Every measure alternates between

n Solas Ane (Yesterday's Joy)Samuel Hazo.
With a unique blend of flowing lines and lush
textures coupled with dynamic Celtic drumming,

moments with soloistic woodwind lines that contrast
nicely with the emotional full-band passages.
