n Come Thou Fount of Every Blessingarr.
Randall Standridge. The arranger chose this
reverent, yet somewhat sad-sounding hymn
to arrange for band in honor of the life and
influence of his grandmother, who passed away
in 2012. Moving from moments of quiet beauty
though hugely magnificent waves of sound, this
powerful arrangement is a great example of the
expressiveness and power that can be achieved by
a fine concert band work. The final statement of the
hymn tune melody by a solo clarinet wraps up this
memorable hymn tune arrangement in a reverent,
quiet way.

CycloneMichael Oare. The power and intensity
of our ever-changing marine environment is
portrayed in this descriptive work for young players.
A simple melodic motif along with syncopated
rhythmic energy effectively depicts the power
of nature's most violent storms. After a calm,
yet foreboding introduction, the mood quickly
transforms as the storm draws near. Thundering
bass drum rolls and driving rhythmic and melodic
ostinatos highlight dynamic and textural contrasts
that sweep into the bold and exciting conclusion.

n DarkHeart (Escape from DarkHeart Castle)
Randall Standridge. The final movement of "The
Darklands Symphony"wraps the work up in a very
gripping way, musically depicting a daring escape
from the castle DarkHeart. Its dark, brooding nature
is portrayed by the driving rhythms, dissonances and
trills. The plainchant Dies Irae is used prominently
as thematic material that ties the entire symphony
together. DarkHeart can very successfully be
performed as a standalone work. Menacing!

l Dexter Park CelebrationJames Barnes. A
resounding and dramatic brass fanfare serves
as an introduction to a spirited allegro. A
slower middle portion, rather jazzy in character,
features a trumpet solo before a recap of the
faster material. After a reprise of the opening
fanfare, the piece closes in dramatic fashion.
Generous cross-cuing enables performances with
smaller instrumentations.
