l Tales of Dimension X—Wes Stephens. Here
is a programmatic work about a space explorer
responding to a distress call. In this quasi-cinematic
work inspired by a love of sci-fi films, the musicians
provide both the soundtrack and the sound effects
for an exciting addition to any concert program.

Terminus—Sean O'Loughlin. Explore fanfare-like
dissonance in this rhythmic and syncopated work.
With many opportunities to develop counting skills,
this work is exciting from start to finish. Reminiscent
of film-score themes, developing bands will enjoy
the dramatic twists and turns that this offers. It is
definitely a winner!

Terracotta Warriors—Scott Watson. Inspired
by the "spirit army" of 6000 clay statues created
for the tomb of the first emperor of China, this
fascinating work opens with a brief, plaintive
folk chant that summons the warriors from their
centuries-old sleep. The music changes ominously
as the statues come to life, marching forward with
weapons on full display.

l The Forge—Christina Huss. Optional metal trash
cans and cool trombone glissandos make this work
a rocking good time for students and audience alike!
You will think back to the Song of the Hammersmith
when you hear this! A minor melody and darker mood
combined with the metallic sounds of percussion will
be an exciting grouping for your students!

Three Madrigals—arr. Eric Burger. Based on
music from the English Renaissance, this setting
begins with the song of a penny merchant selling
his wares. Next is a more melancholy song of the
eternal struggles of love, followed by a lively song
which quizzically ponders the risk of taking part in a
quest in pursuit of happiness. A colorful reliving of
the music of a time long past.

Toccata and Chorale—James Curnow. Written
in a sophisticated dynamic style, this work is far
more impressive sounding than the easy grade level
would indicate. The rhythmic and intense opening
theme is contrasted with the sustained and lyrical
chorale section. Both themes are combined at the
end for a satisfying and rewarding finish.

Tripwire—JaRod Hall. A spy attempts to infiltrate
the defenses of an arch enemy. Take caution
though, for every step can trigger an alarm because
tripwires are everywhere! This clever work is unlike
anything out there and offers some extraordinary
colors. From the sneaky sound of the beginning
melody to the loud and raucous rips that follow later
in the work, this is an incredible standout piece for
any concert!

l
Turbocharge—John Prescott. This excellent work
provides a very high-energy yet very accessible
musical experience. A brisk tempo, driving rhythms,
interesting colors, solid percussion, huge impacts,
rising tension, and plenty of dynamic and articulation
contrasts provide nonstop excitement for both
players and concertgoers. Low brass gets plenty of
features, and brass ranges are very comfortable.

H Two British Folk Songs—Elliot Del Borgo. Two
tuneful English folk melodies are combined in this
well-scored number for young bands. An attractive
choice for festival performance!

Variations on a Celtic Tune—arr. Michael
Oare. The poignant lament Mo Ghile Mear (My
Gallant Hero) was authored after the defeat of
the Scots ending dreams of the restoration of the
House of Stuart. Touching and emotional, it opens
with a flute solo, building gradually as layers of
instrumental groups are blended in. After shifting
to a lilting 6/8 style, prominent percussion helps
propel the work forward, culminating in a majestic
full ensemble finale.

l Watch Out!—Brian Beck. Whew... that was close!
Get ready to enter a musical obstacle course
for the entire band. This gauntlet challenges
every player in the ensemble to a battle of "Who
performed it best?" by allowing every instrument
an opportunity to play both the melody and the
accompaniment throughout the piece. What was
in the lower voice is now in the upper sections
and vice versa. It is a fantastic way to teach and
assess style, dynamics, phrasing, articulation,
and accidentals.

We Are the Heroes—Carl Strommen. This
uplifting and inspiring work can be performed
with or without chorus. Based on the theme of
building a better world, it's perfect for graduations,
school assemblies, and celebrations with its regal,
majestic-sounding theme. A real crowd pleaser!

l Wellerman—Paul Murtha. This well-known
whaling song from New Zealand has been at the
forefront of the rise in popularity of sea shanties.
Featuring a memorable melody, rich harmonies,
and a nice mix of textures, here is a great sounding
setting scored for flexible instrumentation.

Where Words End...—Randall D. Standridge.
Sometimes, music is not "about" anything - it exists
solely for the beautiful sounds created and the
emotions derived from that aesthetic experience.
This piece falls firmly into this category, making
creative use of the ranges and colors available
for young bands to create a truly remarkable
expressive work.

Wildflowers—Todd Stalter. Imagine the feeling
you get when gazing upon a meadow of flowers on
a bright summer day. You'll get that same feeling
when you hear the flowing lines and glowing
harmonies of this expressive work! Everyone will
enjoy all the collective beauty, fragility, and wonder
of the music as it floats through the air like a warm
gentle breeze.

Witches and Wizards—David Shaffer. Listen,
if you dare, as the witches concoct a kooky and
mysterious melody of the macabre! Wizards engage
in a diatonic discourse of delightful and delicate
dissonance. The magic of this piece will engage
your inner spirits as a picture of mystery and
mayhem is painted. Craftily written and arranged
for younger musicians, this is sure to be the eerie
and mystical hit of any concert!

l A Woodland Celebration—Robert Sheldon.
Perfect for opening or closing a concert for first-
year band students, this trotting work lends a
light rhythmic style to a tuneful melody. As soon
as young students can play a concert B-flat scale
and learn the concert A-flat note, this piece is easily
playable. Second clarinet does not go over the
break, and second trumpet and horn have limited
ranges as well.
