Waltz of the TurtlesJerry A. West. Here's
a light and entertaining work for first-year
musicians that's the perfect vehicle for teaching
and reinforcing playing in 3/4 time. As the title
implies, it's meant to be a fun and good-humored
piece that makes learning and playing fun. The full
ensemble begins and is followed by the woodwinds
and then brass separately, making the piece easy
to rehearse while teaching rhythmic independence.
A great entertaining and educational addition to any
elementary band program.

Waterdrops Come SpringRichard L. Saucedo.
Using very modest ranges and easy rhythms with
no syncopation, the composer has created this
tender lyric piece that evokes the beauty of nature
as the season turns to spring. Perfect for teaching
the basics of good musicianship: good tone, breath
support, and phrasing.

4 The Winged SerpentBrian Drake. The
composer wrote this piece to give his band
experience with chromatic music. This edgy
work spins a musical picture of the Mayan
feathered serpent god and uses minor seconds
and trombone glissandi to help give the piece a
slithering sound. Portraying the mythical serpent
who flew to the sun and burned its tongue, it's an
exciting, well-written work.

It's the perfect choice to fill that quiet place in your

AdversaryLarry Clark. The main character
of this epic piece in a minor key is the villainous
antagonist that appears in most great stories. The
added dimension of 3/4 time gives the music an
intriguing rhythmic feel, while the full texture never
taxes the abilities of young bands. In this case, the
bad guy is a definite winner!

Aliens Among Us (They're Here!)David
Gorham. Our first encounter with these visitors from
outer space occurred with Aliens Landing (In Your
Back Yard!). We met them again when they attacked
in Alien Invasion, and here they come again! They
must have liked it here because they decided to
stay. They're so well disguised they blend right in,
but their delightfully spooky and eerie sounds give
them away as they try to hide among us.
