Call 1.800.345.6296 / w: jwpepper.com / e: satisfaction@jwpepper.com concert band Go to cart Concert and Contest Selections medium-advanced / advanced Shadow WaltzesBrian Balmages. Drawing on the contrast of darkness against light, this innovative work is menacing at times, seemingly innocent at others, and nearly out of control at its most volatile moments. A static rhythmic pulse forms the backdrop for the entire piece as shadows seem to move throughout the darkness in a playfully deceitful way. An invigorating and unique work! 10607792 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . 95.00 10607793 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . 14.00 H Sketches on a Tudor PsalmFisher Tull. This original set of variations uses the same Tallis psalm setting that Vaughan Williams used in his Fantasia On A Theme By Thomas Tallis. Popular since its inception, this work utilizes the musical language and style that we have come to recognize as Fisher Tull. 152280 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . 125.00 4980553 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . 20.50 l Some Give AllDavid R. Holsinger. An extended trumpet duet opens this moving tribute to a fallen soldier. As the two trumpets end the ensemble takes over, offering a solemn and dignified theme that resonates with a quiet majesty. The activity picks up, growing in texture and counterpoint, ascending to triumphant heights before closing as it began with a quiet and distant trumpet solo. 10664440 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . 95.00 10664786 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 12.00 10664787 Additional Oversized Score . . 20.00 n The Soul Has Many MotionsJohn Mackey. A collection of four separate movements, each with its own special style and meaning. Violet Crown Fanfare captures the movement of the heavens and optimism of the wide open West. Night on Fire suggests the wild dancing of a nomadic camp. Unquiet Spirits is a waltz of longing and otherworldly sweetness. The Ringmasters March is a riotous, Ivesian circus parade that closes the piece with an exuberant, joyful noise. 10376297 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . 295.00 10376298 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . 40.00 4 Spy RingRichard L. Saucedo. During the Revolutionary War, General George Washington ordered a spy ring to be organized to gather critical information about the British forces. This dynamic work creates the sense of danger and intrigue of this operation, opening with strains propelled by an underlying rhythmic layer with flashes of color from the winds and percussion. A reflective middle section features soloistic passages and lush harmonies and offers a calming mood before the fast tempo returns for the dynamic finish. 10759038 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . 125.00 10759041 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . 15.00 n Suite From MassLeonard Bernstein/arr. Michael Sweeney. Using the monumental work to draw from, this suite focuses on a select number of movements, often using the brass quintet to represent the vocal lines found in the original. Striking and beautiful, it includes Alleluia, Sanctus, A Simple Song, Agnus Dei, Offertory and Almighty Father. Scored for brass quintet and wind ensemble, there are ample cues provided to allow this to be performed by wind ensemble or symphonic band alone. 10072336 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . 195.00 10072340 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . 25.00 H Symphonic SuiteClifton Williams. This magnificent work is one of the enduring classics of the symphonic band repertoire, and continues to be a popular choice for contests and festivals. 4133476 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . 85.00 6047914 Full Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12.00 H Tempered SteelCharles Young. The key word here is "steel"... or metal. Metal clangs, it blows, it vibrates, it excites, and it has strength. This urgent, driving piece has those qualities, and you'll find it's a neat and unique addition to the repertoire. Expressing a celebration of our triumph over unavoidable hardships and obstacles we regularly face that force us to be stronger, resilient, or "tempered," the piece explores the metallic sonorities of the wind band to great effect. 2411700 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . 140.00 2422244 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . 25.00 l A Thousand PassionsJoshua V. Hinkel. This inspiring work begins with quiet woodwind figures that remind us that we are all given a gift of passion that lifts our spirits and gives us a sense of purpose. As the music progresses, the various sections unite, increasing gradually and adding to the passionate feeling of the syncopated energy and uplifting melody. 10739204 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . 120.00 10739205 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . 20.00 H ToccataGirolamo Frescobaldi/arr. Slocum. This is the perfect composition to spotlight (or build!) your band's musicianship and maturity of tone. It is an excellent contrast to a vigorous, driving work. 91264 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . 75.00 4836821 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . 12.00 5976281 CD-Teaching Music Through Performance In Band, Vol. 2 3-CD Set: Grades 4-5. . . . . 39.50 l Toward the Splendid CityRichard Danielpour/ arr. Peter Stanley Martin. Originally commissioned by the New York Philharmonic, it was written as a musical love letter to all of New York City's "wonderful and terrible things." It's an eight-minute wild ride full of musical imagery of the city skyline, bridges and tunnels, bawdy and brash nightlife and more. Brassy bursts of color and surges of notes are abundant in this wind band tribute to the vitality of this dynamic city. 10759043 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . 145.00 10759046 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . 35.00 Transcendent JourneyRossano Galante.

Mark Rogers. Accomplished groups and their audiences are sure to enjoy the spectacular sounds borrowed from the world of classical music. This transcription of the first movement of the orchestral suite successfully expresses all the anticipation and drama of this remarkable work. Growing in texture and harmonic tension, the work unfolds with displays of flying technical passages and intense brass statements that culminate in an explosive climax. A glowing showcase for upper-level groups. 10757939 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . 195.00 10757950 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . 25.00 Urban DancesErik Morales. Rhythm is the key element of this vibrant and contemporary piece which incorporates many of the rhythms found in today's popular music. The melodic and thematic elements, while important, play a supportive and secondary role. In many instances the thematic material floats over the rhythmic pulse creating a double time feel. It's lively and persistent throughout with very active and involved percussion. 2480723 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . 80.00 2480724 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . 11.00 H Variations on a Korean Folk SongJohn Barnes Chance. A very deservedly popular composition consisting of five contrasting variations on a lyrical Korean folk song. Stated first in unison by the woodwinds, the material is brilliantly explored and developed, and the use of Oriental harmonies is tastefully controlled. The percussion section is used extensively, both rhythmically and melodically. 153544 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . 80.00 4837845 Full Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10.50 5937263 CD-Teaching Music Through Performance In Band, Vol. 1 3-CD Set: Grade 4 . . . . . . . 39.50 H Variations on a Shaker MelodyAaron Copland.

A major contribution that's sure to become a part of standard repertoire. This ten-minute tone poem in one movement comprises five distinct sections that tell the legend of twin sisters born in Germany in 1588.
