American Visions—Mark Lortz. Composed to
embody the sense of American vigor and patriotism,
this fast-paced and energetic fanfare features
rousing brass, lively woodwind motives, and driving
percussion. Using a simple motive that alternates
between duple and triplet rhythms, this is a great
selection to use for teaching the difference between
the two. A contrasting middle section can be used

initial material with a new countermelody can be
used for balance and blend development.

RMS Carpathia racing to the aid of the RMS Titanic.
The whole band is involved in making the sounds
of the ship, from the vibrating hull to the ship's bell
to the hissing boilers, creating a truly lifelike effect.
As Carpathia arrives on the terrible scene, the music
turns into a slow, mournful hymn for those who have
perished. The music intensifies once more as the
rescue ship embarks on her triumphant yet tragic
journey to safety. A stunning composition! This
version features flexible instrumentation.
