folk melody and the Ojibwe legend of the dreamcatcher,
believed to have magical webs that would filter out bad
dreams, allowing only good dreams to enter the mind.
Evocative percussion effects and colorful orchestration
and harmonies make it sound more impressive and
advanced than its grade level would suggest. Sure to bring
a different flavor to any concert and ignite the imagination!

The Ghost Lights of Newton County—
John Prescott.

also known as "will-o'-the-wisps" and "spook lights,"
have been reported around the world. The same air of
mystery and suspense that surrounds these eerie events
is reflected by the creative writing and special effects of
this evocative work. The effect can be further enhanced by

The Jaws of Fenris—Roland Barrett. As the title
implies, this stunning overture opens ominously before

end. The dramatic story is based on a Norse myth about

engaging and evocative piece sounds more difficult than it
plays and will serve well on concert or contest programs.

The Legend of Taum Sauk—Larry Clark.
A strong concert or contest piece that depicts a classic
Romeo and Juliet saga involving two different Native
American tribes. The drama of this story unfolds through
the dramatic music, beginning in a fast-paced, pulsating
6/8 groove. This is followed by a tender love song built
on the same musical material which then leads back to
the up-tempo opening for a dramatic conclusion. A solid
work that introduces 6/8 time and gives you great cross-
curricular possibilities.

Legend of the Drop Bear—Brian Balmages.
Inspired by a trip to Australia, this programmatic work
depicts the fictitious yet wildly popular drop bear. The
ominous opening portrays the eerie feeling of walking
about, not knowing if one of these horrific creatures will
drop out of a tree and attack. Achievable aleatoric sounds
add to the mystery as the drop bear finally reveals itself
and panic ensues. Extremely creative and engaging!

Lights of the Unknown—Quincy Hilliard.

night as they dance around. This musical depiction re-
creates this mysterious and fascinating phenomenon

Ogopogo—Grant Michel. Named for a mysterious
aquatic monster said to live in a lake in British Columbia,
this piece reflects the aura of mystery that surrounds
the legend. The intriguing melody that's shared by all
creates a shadowy image of an indistinct shape gliding
through the dark waters, just beyond the range of sight.
The addition of alternating wind and percussion figures
adds to its menacing nature, like the stories passed
down for generations. An intriguing piece that will delight
beginning students.

On the Wings of a Griffin—Andrew Poor.
This is an exciting, fun composition that is a great rhythmic
tool for teaching eighth-note combinations and dotted
quarter- and eighth-note rhythms. The bold opening
statement gives way to some dissonance, which builds to
a dynamic ending.

Spirit of Olympus—Gary P. Gilroy. A celebratory work
of spirit and grandeur. A resplendent opening fanfare in
the high brass, supported with strong percussion, makes
a statement that will resonate throughout the concert hall.

superb contrast, glistening with metallic percussion. A lush
full-band treatment then adds majestic import before an
energetic finale brings the work to a proud and regal close.

Squonk Blues—Robert Buckley. This quirky and
spirited piece, in the style of a blues waltz, is based on
the mythical legend of the squonk, a forest creature that
dissolves into a pool of tears when cornered. On dark,
moonless nights when no one is around, they gather
together to sing and dance. A unique and fascinating piece
for first-year bands, it uses only the first six notes of a
B-flat scale.
