n La Procession du RocioJoaquin Turina/arr.
Reed. Although a native of Spain, while studying
in Paris early in his career, composer Joaquin
Turina was influenced by the impressionistic
harmonies of Debussy and Ravel. Once he
returned to Spain, Turina also drew inspiration
from Spanish folk music with La Procession
du Rocio, which became one of his best-
known works. The music portrays a festival
and procession that takes place in the Triana
neighborhood of Seville, and is filled with
wonderful idiomatic Spanish elements. Alfred
Reed's marvelous 1962 transcription remains an
enduring keystone in the wind band repertoire.

n Liberty FanfareJohn Williams/arr. Bocook.
One hundred years after the dedication of the
Statue of Liberty in 1886, John Williams was
commissioned to compose a fanfare for the re-
dedication ceremony. At this event, Mr. Williams
led the Boston Pops Orchestra in the first
performance of this work, which the composer
described as a group of American airs and tunes
of his own invention.

l Malaguena: from the Spanish Suite ANDALUCIA
Ernesto Lecuona/arr. James Barnes. Composed
in a rich authentic Cuban style, this is undoubtedly
the most famous of works by Ernesto Lecuona.
Originally a movement from a piano suite, it has
appeared in numerous forms from popular song
to symphony orchestra and field arrangements.
This powerful and fiery setting for upper-level
groups features evocative and sultry extended solo
passages that set up the climax by the full wind
band that concludes the work in a thrilling and
dramatic fashion.

H Mannin VeenHaydn Wood. Originally published
in 1933, this outstanding tone poem, based on four
folk songs from the Isle of Man, is an outstanding
addition to any band library. Beginning with a
plaintive melody in the Dorian mode, then going
into a "fiddle tune," a very lyrical melody and then
a hymn, this is a superbly written work that is most
worthy of performance.

MetalBrian Balmages. Metal may be used
as a concert opener or closer, and refers to two
different types of "metal." The first type is that
of the considerable use of metallic sounds in the
percussion section. The second inspiration actually
comes from the genre of "heavy metal." There are
several instances throughout the piece that suggest
a strong heavy metal influence. A truly unique piece
for mature ensembles.

tall buildings and concrete canyons of the New York
skyline, followed by an urban jazz scene in a club

heavy traffic of this fascinating city.

rendering of the vigor and stamina exhibited at
the Olympic Games! Opening with a tam-tam and
a fanfare of brass, the sound is big enough to fill
an arena! The low brass and the basses move this
one forward with adrenaline, and it's a great way to
showcase your percussion section, too. Relentless,
driving rhythms bring us through the struggle and
the fanfare returns, signaling the end of the struggle
and triumphant victory. Powerful!

ParkourSamuel R. Hazo. Combining brash and
aggressive rhythmic figures along with more gentle
moments and inventive textures, this impressive
work is truly a standout for advanced bands. The
piece is built around a four-note motif, which is
developed and expanded throughout. The middle
section features more of a jazzy flavor with saxes
in the spotlight accompanied by finger snaps.
The rhythmic intensity returns, building towards a
glorious full ensemble affirmation and bringing this
exciting work to a powerful conclusion.

H PastimeJack Stamp. This musical home run
is no lightweight piece of music! Although the
composition is loosely woven around motives from
the familiar Take Me Out to the Ballgame, it's a
fascinating, intricate and entertaining concert work.
The composer has a lot of fun in the first segment
of the piece working in hidden musical "salutes"
to various baseball players, and the balance of the
work is described as a "contrapuntal tour de force."
Play ball!

This ten-minute work, on the easy side of the
medium-advanced level, successfully conveys
the awe-inspiring grandeur of Pilatus mountain in
Switzerland. It opens with the brass slowly blowing
air through their instruments, as if to simulate the
mountain wind, or perhaps the breath of dragons!
A compelling work!

Raging MachinesBrian Balmages. Hold on
for the ride of a lifetime with this thrilling musical
roller coaster! Portraying machines gone awry,
massive sounds and textures pour from every
section. Eventually, the music comes to rest in a
lyrical section, while retaining the original intensity.
The final portion reintroduces several mechanical
elements, along with new material, as aggression
takes over one more time in a fury of sound.
