l Spring UnfoldingPeter Terry. A musical
celebration of the change of season from the dark
of winter to the anticipation of spring. The piece

4 StrykerTyler Arcari. The title refers to a worker
who assisted a blacksmith with his craft, wielding
a hammer and shaping iron to their will. The dark
and harsh atmosphere is enhanced by percussive
sounds of their demanding craft. The break drum
provides a hammered-iron effect while the china
cymbal mimics the steam of tempering steel. A
uniquely programmatic work great for opening a
concert or providing an exciting finish.

The Tears of Arizona (Pearl Harbor Remem-
bered)Brian Balmages. Commissioned to
commemorate the 75th anniversary of the attack
on Pearl Harbor, the music begins very solemnly,
referring to the "tears" of oil that continue to be
shed daily by the sunken ship. The section The
Pride of Arizona moves past the tears and to the
pride of the crew members and the feeling of the
"spirit of aloha." Percussion loosely imitates the
groove of a luau, yet is juxtaposed with moments
of pause and reflection. The final statement feels
incomplete, reminding the audience that the tears
have not stopped flowing. Magical!

4 TemblorSean O'Loughlin. Get ready to shake
things up! The title is of Spanish origin and means
tremor or earthquake, which is most appropriate
for this developing band work. The music is as
unstoppable as the natural disaster it embodies;
aggressive in nature but with some well-placed
repose followed by a stunning maestoso climax,
it's sure to create quite a stir at your next concert.

be amazed at how good The Tempest makes your
group sound!

The Tenth PlanetMichael Story. If you direct a
band at the very easy level, you'll want to seriously
consider this work! The idea of a possible tenth
planet in our solar system excites the imagination.
Here, the concept is depicted musically by
moments of floating tranquility and bold themes
full of the daring of space exploration. It's amazing
what a fabulous effect is achieved here with such
technically easy parts. A riveting overture and very
highly recommended!

sound everyone will love.

form, a strong, driving pirate theme serves as a
unifying force throughout the piece, surrounding
