Industrial Loops—Brian Balmages. Based on
the rhythmic drive of a factory underscored with
a series of musical ensemble "loops," this piece
explores the combination of organic and inorganic
sounds. Inventive percussive and vocal effects are
layered as the groove develops into more complex

spirited and fun-filled conclusion.

Juggernaut—Gary D. Ziek. A juggernaut is a
massive inexorable force that crushes whatever
is in its path, and this dynamic concert opener
certainly lives up to the title. Written in a perpetual
motion style, the intensity begins in the first
measure and doesn't let up until the final measure
is finished. Driving and frenetic, with heroic fanfares
throughout, it pulsates with seemingly unlimited
and unyielding drive.
10508769 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . 70.00

H Lord of the Rings—Johan de Meij/arr.
Lavender. Until now, De Meij's award-winning
symphony for band has been out of the reach of
most students. But after close consultation with
the composer, Paul Lavender has masterfully
adapted and condensed three of the original
five movements into a practical concert version
your band can play! It includes a more standard
instrumentation and optional cuts allowing for
several performance lengths. Experience first-
hand the power and depth of this exciting music
inspired by the book "Lord Of The Rings" as
perceived by one of Europe's finest composers!

Mars (from "The Planets")—Gustav Holst/arr.
Owens. This exceptional arrangement captures all
the raw power and intensity of the first movement
of "The Planets" by Gustav Holst. Shortened to
be more accessible to younger groups, this
version uses clever orchestrating techniques to
retain all the fire of the original. At times, you
will think you are listening to the original version.
Simply outstanding!
