majesty, beauty and strength of the eagle's flight
is portrayed with sensitivity and skill in this uplifting

With Every Winter's Breath—Randall D.
Standridge. In this moving tribute piece, the
composer has created a breathtakingly gorgeous
band work inspired by the idea that even after
death, a person's memory can inspire, comfort, and

and Go Tell it on a Mountain are both effectively
used to memorialize Maddie Milner, a trumpet
player in the Bayfield, CO High School band, who

her freshman year. Your students and audience will
surely get emotionally involved with every aspect of

movement. A stately and majestic theme is heard in
"Men of Harlech." The suite concludes with "Owain
Glyndwr's War Song," which is a Celtic military style
march. A strong piece for any concert program.

unusually nice, and can be exceptionally effective
for concert or contest! It's a very solidly scored, rich,
lyrical, lush setting of a typical English folk ballad
that contains flowing countermelodies throughout
which are of equal importance to the melody.
A perfect contrast to a bolder, more vigorous
selection, this quite playable work will present your
band in a most positive way!

A Zillion Nickels—Samuel R. Hazo. When you

Sandy. Three high schools in Toms River, New
Jersey commissioned this musical depiction of their
celebrated shore, from joy to turbulence. The heavy
emphasis on percussion only adds to the exciting
build and powerful ending!

and emotional mood to the overall effect.

from "Final Alice," the fifth of six large works for
soprano and orchestra based on Lewis Carroll's
"Alice in Wonderland" books. This arrangement
for band is designed to be playable by a wide
variety of groups and is appropriate for large or

harmonies and artful instrumental voicing give this
piece a truly timeless feel.

Adagio—David Holsinger. Composed in memory
of a departed friend, this work is an intensely
emotional synthesis of both joy and pain, the result
being a beauty touched with sadness similar to
the effect achieved by Albinoni's famous Adagio.
Also similar with that work is its large arch form,
which culminates with a broad full band statement
of the theme set against a proud counterstatement
in the horn section. On either side of the arch is
a long, expressive crescendo/decrescendo built
upon a rising bass line almost like a passacaglia.
A beautiful tribute!
