Barber. This arrangement of a classic in the wind
repertoire is playable by any SSATB combination of
woodwind, brass, and string players with optional

section is gorgeous. Attention is given to preserve
as much of the color of the original as possible.

Battle of the Titans—Dennis Eveland. A sweeping
introduction transports the listener to a distant
landscape, setting the stage for an epic conflict
among mythical giants. The musical character

begins. The rich scoring takes on a cinematic nature

H
Be Thou My Vision—arr. David Gillingham. It's
not often you come across a composition that offers
the high level of musical merit needed to appeal to
directors and also offers an emotional depth able
to truly move an audience. This is such a piece.
Gillingham bases his reverent and powerful work on
the hymn tune Be Thou My Vision (also known as
the old Irish ballad Slane), with its eternal message
of faith and hope. It goes far beyond being an
arrangement of a familiar hymn tune, as Gillingham
gives moments of real drama in the shimmering
tonal colors provided by the woodwinds and the
glorious brass lines that break through like dazzling
sunlight through the clouds. It's the kind of work
you will want your band to experience. We are
proud to give this our highest recommendation!

movement from his iconic Fifth Symphony, this
work provides an exciting sampler of the master's
best! Also included are excerpts from Fur Elise,

Symphony No. 9 Choral.

l Blossom—Christopher Artau. This delicate work
begins with piano and horn and slowly builds to a
triumphant and hopeful tone. It is an exploration of
tone color just as much as it is melodic structure
and dynamic impact. A muted trumpet solo
provides an extra element of color to this descriptive
tone poem. It ends as delicately as it began - a
stunning work!

short sixteenth-note runs, and accidentals develop
the rest of your ensemble's technical abilities.
A vibrant and triumphant choice. Superior!
