4 Forged in Fire—Rob Romeyn. Certain to become
a mainstay of concert and festival programs!
Epic as well as programmatic, this is a work of
vibrant energy, vivid color and immense power. Its
inspiration comes from fire - tamed by early man
and harnessed by civilization and industrialization.
Calm introductions lead to quickening tempos
and driving multi-meter rhythms that blaze with
incendiary effect. The musical flame then subsides
before reigniting for a shimmering, red-hot ending.

Fractures in Time—Michael 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, Funicula—Luigi 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!

4 Galactic Fanfare (A Cinematic Suite - Move-
ment 1)—Randall Standridge. This is the first in
a series of works to follow that are inspired by the
language of movie music. Written in the style of a
sci-fi adventure, it features 12/8 time signatures,
driving rhythms, and hyper-exciting parts. This
gripping fanfare will start your concert off in a
dazzling show of musical prowess.

H Gavorkna Fanfare—Jack Stamp. Here's an
exciting way to open your next concert! This bold,
vigorous and rather short fanfare for full wind band
utilizes pyramids, brisk articulations and a large
percussion section including bells, chimes and
vibes. It's guaranteed to capture the rapt attention
of any audience!

Ghost Run—Grant 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.

l The Gift of Friendship (A Ballad from the Heart)
—Benjamin Yeo. Enchanting sounds of a music
box, created by gentle mallet percussion, introduce
this heartfelt ballad. Also featured are optional
flugelhorn and saxophone solos that take you on
a stroll down memory lane as you reflect on good
times. A well-crafted and meaningful work that
extols the importance of friendship, providing an
exceptional selection for your next concert program.

God of Our Fathers (Chorale Prelude)—Claude
T. Smith. A stirring chorale prelude in Smith's
grandiose style that even offers optional audience
participation. Great fanfares help to make this a real
crowd pleaser!

l Godspeed, John Glenn—Ryan Nowlin. This piece
is not programmatic but is instead an impression
of the many facets of this remarkable person.
Cinematic moments reflect the adventure of his
life, but the piece remains grounded in his humility
and steadfast love and commitment to his family,
his country, and his faith. The piece begins very
distantly, changing into a playful section reminiscent
of his small-town roots and fascination with flight.
Just after liftoff, the piece dissolves into a reverent
anthem that exudes the essence of his spirit.

A Golden Legacy—Scott 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.

Grace—Brian 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.

Grand Canyon Fanfare—James Newton
Howard/arr. Paul Murtha. James Newton Howard
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.

10530724 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . 7.50
Groove Music—Brian 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!

H Havendance—David R. Holsinger. This
outstanding concert/contest selection has made a
strong step toward becoming an established part
of the repertoire. Built on an unrelenting rhythmic
ostinato and variations, it is a work of merit that
should not be overlooked!

H Hebrides Suite—Clare Grundman. This beautifully
contrasting 4-movement suite, based on folk songs
of the Hebrides Islands, is a deservedly standard
work in the concert/contest literature for band.

Hold This Boy and Listen—Carter Pann. Inspired
by the composer's young nephew, it is unusually
quiet and subdued for a wind band composition
and will prove to be a great exercise in restraint
for musicians.

4 Homage to Bharat—Brian Balmages. Explore the
colorful and exotic sounds of India with elements
of modern Indian pop, similar to the Bollywood
sound. Using a wealth of authentic instruments,
including suggestions for alternatives, the music
has a unique and colorful sound that seemingly
jumps off the page. From ethereal to energetic,
powerful to infectious, this piece will shatter your
audience's expectations of the sounds a concert
band is capable of producing.

H The Hounds of Spring (A Concert Overture for
Winds)—Alfred Reed. This extraordinary work has
been a staple of the concert band repertoire for
many years, and it is found on many state lists.
2087161 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . 85.00
Hymn to the Fallen (Concert Band With Optional
Chorus Parts)—John Williams/arr. Lavender.
"Saving Private Ryan," a gripping, powerful movie
depicting the horrors of World War II, is another
milestone in the years Steven Spielberg and John
Williams have been collaborating on films. Williams'
score includes this simple hymn, using chorus as
an instrument of the orchestra, adding a special
reverence and poignancy to the simple melody.
Arranger Paul Lavender brings this dignified edition
to the concert band stage. Highly recommended!

H I Am—Andrew Boysen, Jr. Up-and-coming
composer Andrew Boysen won the 1992 Claude
T. Smith award for this emotional composition.
Commissioned after the death of a high school band
member, the piece is intended to be a celebration
and reaffirmation of life. The various moods of the
piece are presented with both power and sensitivity.

l If Heaven Had a Window—Joshua V. Hinkel.
Light percussion and woodwind passages are used
in the opening, as if the listener is floating on air.
Then, as if a breeze picks up, the music begins to
swirl, picking up speed and leading into a fresh
and vibrant section that's both buoyant and bright.
Growing in texture and counterpoint, the material
then blossoms, resplendent and full, before fading
to a quiet and peaceful ending.

Ignition—Todd Stalter. The title for this says it all!
The blindingly fast and raucously energetic concert
opener will have everyone's hearts racing. The
energy unleashed in the music and the imagery of
the title serve both as a metaphor for the "spark" of
creativity, and as a true celebration in sound!

l In a Better Place—Brady Massey. Written
in honor of one who shared their love of music
and music education to countless thousands
of students, this is a lyric work of great musical
emotion and an expression of hope and optimism.
Beautiful melodies move throughout the ensemble,
showcasing expressiveness and musicality of all
players. A reverent celebration of life and music.
