H A Longford Legend—Robert Sheldon. This
outstanding composition is destined to become
a classic! A Longford Legend is a tribute to the
wonderful band literature of Grainger, Holst, and
Vaughan Williams, and if you enjoy their music,
we know you'll enjoy this one. The composer
has based the piece on Irish street ballads, and
the Celtic mood is just delightful! A magnificent
showpiece for every instrument in the band, this is
a must for your next concert! Absolutely superb!

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!

Lorva Horovel—Alfred Reed/arr. Rob Romeyn.
This artistic and brilliant arrangement of a
monumental band work is an abridged version of
the third movement encapsulating the most exciting
parts of the piece, all while making the music much
more practical and accessible to developing bands.
Smaller and less experienced groups can now
experience the genius of one of Alfred Reed's most
popular works with reduced instrumentation that is
carefully respectful of the original. Thrilling!

H Lux Aurumque—Eric Whitacre. Based on one
of Whitacre's most popular choral works, Lux
Aurumque, here is an extraordinarily lush and
poignant adaptation transcribed for concert band.
Gorgeous, simple triads melt from one chord to the
next, creating a slowly evolving wash of colors and
light. Elegantly orchestrated, this is a profoundly
moving experience for players and audiences alike.
2481949 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . .125.00
Lux Fantastique—Chris Sharp. Open your concert
in impressive fashion with this multipurpose piece
that can be performed as a fanfare and overture
or as a stand-alone fanfare. The energetic opening
features several attention-catching time changes
followed by a well paced, beautiful lyrical interlude.
This brief contrast develops nicely before the stirring
opening returns for an exhilarating finish.

l Many a Glorious Morning Have I Seen—Leslie
Gilreath. Inspired by Shakespeare's Sonnet XXXIII,
this bright piece is a lush, lyrical work featuring
rich harmonies, memorable melodies, and solo
opportunities for flute, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, and
alto saxophone.
11348479 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .65.00
Many Moons—Peter Sciaino. Excellent quality!
A poignant balladic description of a memory
of a New Mexico night sky, this lyrical piece
encapsulates the feeling of wonder and humility
felt when we stare out at a sky seemingly filled
with hundreds of little moons. This is an excellent
chance to feature a euphonium soloist. Expressive
demands related to phrasing, balance, listening,
and tone let you teach these in a composition that
sounds harder than it is. Use this ballad as a great
contrast on your next program!
11205108 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .65.00
Maverick—Jay Bocook. The term "maverick"
describes someone who is fiercely independent
and is an apt title for this rollicking musical
jaunt. This descriptive work for band uses an
energetic blend of dramatic playfulness along with
contrasts and excitement to depict a spirit of fierce
independence and pride. Impressive sounding, and
just plain still fun!
11205763 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .85.00
Miles of Blue—Brian Balmages. This powerful
work was written in the wake of the death of a
hero whose last words and actions saved the
life of his partner. With its delicate introduction,
soaring theme, and assortment of colors, this
piece chronicles that unforgettable drive and
pays homage to the many officers that fall in the
line of duty each year. This piece will truly be the
emotional powerhouse of your next concert.
11203040 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .90.00
Milestones—Robert Langenfeld. A celebratory
concert fanfare that encapsulates the excitement
of a major accomplishment or event. In true
fanfare style, the piece showcases the brass with
brilliant rhythmic motifs and driving woodwind and
percussion parts. The hard-driving and well-paced
energy makes it perfect as a concert opener.
11206937 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .96.00
Minimalist Dances—Matt Conaway. This unique
work for advanced ensembles explores three
fundamental minimalist approaches, but through
the lens of very atypical styles. Influenced by the
masterworks of Glass, Riley, and Adams, the
composer uses a limited melodic/rhythmic palette
to maximum effect, even including a rock-inspired
shout section that leads to the furious conclusion.
10458968 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . .125.00
l A Moorside March—Gustav Holst/arr. Michael
Brand. This five-part flexible version of the March
from Holst's "Moorside Suite" is an excellent option
for playing the music of this master composer. It
is a stirring and flowing piece that works in any
concert situation.
11348451 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .65.00
H Mother Earth—David Maslanka. A truly unique
concert opener, this dark, intense fanfare is not for
the faint of heart. It is in 3/4, but conducted in a
brisk one, making it a challenging work for every
player in the band. With each passing measure
the audience will be riveted to every note, and will
want to hear more once the piece comes to an
exhilarating climax!
10012967 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . .100.00
Mount Everest—Rossano Galante. Experience
the epic grandeur and beauty of the world's tallest
mountain. Comprising robust brass melodies,
sweeping woodwinds and rhythmic ostinati, this
musical representation captures the majesty and
might of one of nature's greatest creations.
10093421 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .78.00
Mountain Thyme—Samuel R. Hazo. Written
as a musical memorial, this beautifully emotional
setting is a reworking of the traditional folk song The
Braes of Baquhidder, also known as Wild Mountain
Thyme, by Scottish writer Robert Tannahill. With a
varied tapestry of colors, textures and dynamics,
this stunning musical work takes full advantage of
the depth and power of the modern wind band.
10348112 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .75.00
l
The Mouse King—Bruce Broughton. Celebrate
the rodent king as he leads an imaginary
procession! You will hear the fanfares and drums of
a full-sized procession in a small flexible package.
With five parts that are playable on a number of
specified instruments, you will enjoy this work with
a wide range of ensembles.

l Moving at the Speed of Sound—Mark Lortz.
This vivid fanfare, rescored for bands with
reduced instrumentation, features rousing brass
motives, dynamic woodwind flourishes and active
percussion, all combining to create an explosive
concert opening statement. Beginning quietly, the
action builds quickly, accelerating into a spinning
sonic dynamo that truly befits the title. Every section
has actively rhythmic parts that keep the action
moving forward. Technical demands kept at a
very playable level, while occasional time signature
changes dart and weave throughout this musical
thrill ride.

Music for the Royal Chapel—arr. Kenneth
Singleton. Taken from a set of psalms written
by Thomas Tallis, these miniature masterpieces
have remained popular for some 450 years. Five
of these works have been arranged for band and
work beautifully for use as warm-up chorales, as
a concert suite, or as single slow movement. The
scoring is gorgeous and can help your band play in
a singing style with great balance and intonation.

My Bonny Boy—Ralph Vaughan Williams/arr.
Ed Huckeby. The beautiful intermezzo, entitled
My Bonny Boy, from Ralph Vaughan Williams'
iconic English Folk Song Suite has been skillfully
adapted into a Build-A-Band edition. This allows
bands with limited or unusual instrumentation, or
sparsely-sized to enjoy the unique character of
this band classic. The two folk tunes incorporated
in this movement provide tremendous educational
opportunities for bands to develop contrasting
stylistic skills while rehearsing and performing a
classic masterwork. Superb!

My Lagan Love—Bill Locklear. This Irish folk
tune evokes an almost magical beauty. Its melodic
simplicity lends itself to great freedom in choosing
from a lush harmonic pallet. In this setting, the
sparse opening harmonies and the solo presentation
of the melody in alto saxophone (cued in oboe)
precede a gradual thickening of the harmonic
textures. The full ensemble presents the melody
again with fresh and new harmonic treatment,
which leads to a highly dramatic musical moment,
and ends with quiet intensity, like the beginning.
11315249 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .65.00
Night on Fire—John Mackey. This second
movement from the suite The Soul Has Many
Motions has a raw and brutal nature that will
definitely stand out on any program. The exotic
and at times savage sounds suggest wild dancing
around a nomadic camp fire, complete with
tambourine, multiple hand drums and harsh, biting
winds. The harsh and aggressive nature of the work
is sure to deliver an impact not soon forgotten!

E D I T O R S ' C H O I C E
Nightride—Robert Sheldon. This impressive
composition includes expressive moments that
range from menacing to tender, aggressive to
introspective, and capricious to heroic. The multi-
meter high-speed romp in the opening allegro
yields to a heartfelt lyrical adagio before returning
to variations of the initial theme that culminate
in a raucous conclusion. Everyone has melodic
opportunities, and the percussion section will shine!
11352549 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .59.99
Noisy Wheels of Joy—Eric Whitacre. Raucous
and breathtaking, this overture by Eric Whitacre will
make a memorable opening for any concert! It's
far from the ordinary overture fare; you'll thoroughly
enjoy the unexpected melodic twists and turns so
brilliantly intertwined with more traditional, lyrical
themes. The overall effect is jubilant, somewhat
quirky, but ultimately delightful!
2470729 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . .125.00
H Novo Lenio—Samuel Hazo. This is a Samuel
Hazo's National Band Association award-winning
composition, a continuous three-movement
work that offers various styles and much to keep
your interest. Based on a school alma mater, the
sections are varied in mood yet cohesive in thematic
material. The first movement, Remembrance, is
somewhat somber in tone; the second movement
Qui Non Proficit Deficit is more dissonant; and the
final movement A New Beginning is meant to sound
full and proud.
2473289 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .65.00
H O Magnum Mysterium—Morten Lauridsen/arr.
Reynolds. This fine arrangement brings Morton
Lauridsen's reverent masterwork to the concert
band stage. Many will know this stunning work
from the magnificent choral rendition that has
become a staple of the choral repertoire. A serene
and expressive composition, the fluid lines and
lovely harmonies will both challenge and engage
your performers. We are proud to give this our
highest recommendation.
