l Into the Unknown—Paul De Cinque. Right out of
the gate with the robust introduction, this energetic
piece is a musical depiction of our eagerness to
discover what lies beyond what we know. A hopeful
melody is coupled with a big brass sound to achieve
a musical picture of hope. The slower, modal lyrical
section is an excellent contrast to the opening
theme, then it ends triumphantly in a flourish!

Lonely Travelers—Travis J. Weller. Layering
two songs which speak to the idea of searching
for something beyond the current condition, this
is an excellent piece for teaching the ensemble
to blend so they can hear each other rather than
be heard individually. Using 900 Miles and The
Wayfaring Stranger for compositional material,
thematic elements from each are interwoven into

or festival choice, this work offers cross-curricular
opportunities as well.

Lullaby to the Moon—Brian Balmages. Many
fictional works portray the moon as a living being,
alone in space looking at the earth. This lullaby
honors this "living moon," portraying various
emotions including the loneliness of seeing us from

not human waking up for the first time. From the

fully awake, possessed of self-determination and
unfathomable purpose. The electronics for this work

piece for beginning band that is sure to be a hit, not

They walk and fly to find each other, marching as
one. Just when you think they've marched off into
the distance, they come together to surprise the
audience. Unique percussion effects like timpani
glissando and theremin (or flexatone) add to the
spooky sound. A tuba solo at the end is followed by
a surprising scream that will leave the performers
and the audience giggling!
