The Dragon PrinceRick Kirby. This descriptive
and engaging work follows the ancient tale of a
handsome young prince forced by evil sorcery to
live part of his life as a dragon. The music takes
on the feel of a movie soundtrack as the legend
unfolds in grand fashion. A quiet and serene
opening story sets the stage as the story unfolds
and the adventure begins. With a significant portion
of the fast section scored in 6/8, the music spans
emotions ranging from the dramatic, to tenderness,
to majestic.

Dream, Imagine, LiveLarry Clark. The title and
inspiration for this descriptive piece comes from
the works of Henry David Thoreau. The "Dream"
section is bold and aggressive, punctuated with
strong, lively figures. It then transitions to the lush
and beautiful music of the "Imagine" section. The
lilting and dance-like "Live" section closes the work,
adding a fast presto coda that ends with a flourish.

4 Echoes in the WoodsRick Kirby. The logging
industry of northern Wisconsin faded away years
ago, but echoes of that era remain today. This
depiction of the large mechanized logging camps of
that earlier time also reflects the quiet beauty of the
forests and lakes in the region. Using an overture
format and a strong sense of adventure, this work
features exciting rhythmic passages contrasted with
a flowing and lyrical middle section.

Elements (Petite Symphony)Brian Balmages.
Four short movements make up this "petite
symphony" constructed in the same form as the
elements of a traditional symphony: Allegro non
troppo; Largo; Scherzo and Allegro vivace. Each
movement also refers to an element of nature.
Movement 1, Air, is light and breathy, made
up mostly of staccato notes. Water, the second
movement, ripples and flows softly and gently.
An homage to Holst's The Planets can be heard in
Earth, the third movement. The piece concludes in
an intense inferno with Fire. A powerful and cleverly
composed piece!

FanfareJay Dawson. Inspired while on a
transatlantic flight, this thrilling work was composed
at 35,000 feet. Contemporary harmony, dignified

H
Fantasy on Yankee DoodleMark Williams.
This is a refreshing and exciting work! Yankee
Doodle seems like such a simple melody, but it's
amazing how well Mark Williams develops it using
a set of variations. Although opened by a humorous
statement of the theme by solo tuba, you'll soon
find that this is not a novelty piece. The varied
styles and moods are displayed in well-written
music that is perfectly held together by the original
theme. Excellent!

H Fate of the GodsSteven Reineke. Steven
Reineke has done it again! This riveting overture is
full of the intriguing writing you've come to expect
in Steven's compositions! A programmatic work,
the music portrays tales from Nordic mythology.
Elements of dark foreboding are masterfully
balanced with more vibrant sections. The intensity
of the work will keep your interest from the first note
through the last!

l Four: On a Remix of BeethovenRandall
Standridge. Using the famous four-note motive from
the first movement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony,
Randall Standridge has constructed a fantastic
meditation on the famous symphony. The work is
divided into four sections: a powerful and exciting
introduction, a playful gigue in compound meter, a
lyrical third section that features French horns, and
finally an angry dance in 7/8 that leads to the grand
finale. Not easy but well worth the effort.

4 Fractures in TimeMichael Sweeney. Exploring
different facets of time, this unique work utilizes
a wide range of compositional devices, including
periods of aleatoric playing, a dizzying effect of
mimicking multiple ticking clocks, and a variety
of moods and time signatures. Densely layered
harmonies contrasted with lyric passages and
striking melodies create an overall effect that is
quite different and most creative.

H Funiculi, FuniculaLuigi Denza/arr. Reed. Wow!
This Alfred Reed arrangement is destined to be a
classic. It's a very familiar and popular Neapolitan
song of the 1880's arranged as a tarantella and set
for the full resources of the modern concert band.
It has the feel of a classic European concert march
with tremendous appeal and a variety of performance
uses. This is perfect as an encore selection!

of any audience!

l Genesys FanfareDavid Mairs. This striking
fanfare, originally written for orchestral brass and
percussion, was later rescored for full orchestra and,
ultimately, this arrangement for concert band. The
musical ideas are straightforward, the theme being a
rhythmic representation of the name of the institution
that commissioned the piece. The asymmetrical
repetition of the pulsating rhythm yields a refreshingly
compelling energy which invigorates and drives the
music throughout the piece.

Ghost RunGrant Michel. Spookiness abounds
in this aggressive and fun piece for concert band
written in a standard theme-and-variations form.
It's an intriguing composition beginning with a
bold opening statement that gives way to a funky
ostinato that bolsters the main theme. Included in
the mix are quotes of Dies Irae and the music of J.S.
Bach to add a slightly haunting nature.

4 A Golden LegacyScott Watson. This piece
resonates with the joy and reverence many of us
feel in our role as transmitters of the band tradition.
The music alternates between two themes - a
majestic fanfare that develops into a purposeful and
resolute march, and a reverent hymnlike chorale that
undergoes several variations before erupting into a
festive musical celebration for an exuberant finish.

GraceBrian Balmages. This stunning and
emotional work is based on the single word
"grace." Largely original, the music weaves a
tapestry of solitude, tension, patience and peace.
Toward the end of the work, the melody of Amazing
Grace emerges subtly and draws the audience in
further. An emotional rollercoaster that explores
great musical depth.

composed this dynamic fanfare for the closing
segment of the 1993 movie "Grand Canyon." The
film is now largely forgotten; however, the music
remains a vibrant and powerful statement and a
very effective concert opener. Skillfully adapted by
Paul Murtha with heroic brass figures, woodwind
flourishes, and thundering percussion.

on the edge of their seats.

Groove MusicBrian Balmages. As suggested
in its title, Groove Music is a work that focuses on
various combinations of rhythms. The first section
introduces the groove, layering instruments and
changing textures. A thicker, more playful groove
is introduced in the second section. Both ideas
come together in the final section, concluding with
a spectacular wall of color and rhythm!
