Strange Humors—John Mackey. Modal melodies
and syncopated rhythms of Middle Eastern music
with percussive African drumming bring about
a striking blend of musical cultures. The central
focus is the pulse of the djembe, an hourglass-
shaped drum played with bare hands that's a
cultural instrument of West African countries. The
groove of the djembe combined with quirky rhythms
throughout create an impression not soon forgotten.

dynamics and styles with occasional hints of
contemporary notation create a resounding work

David Shaffer. Written in the style of a fanfare
overture, this exciting work opens with brass
fanfares and woodwind flourishes. The main

counter melodies and spectacular in-your-face
brass punctuations. The lyrical middle section is

the fast and powerful finale. This piece is certainly
a must-have!

flexibility as it can be performed in three different
ensemble settings: traditional full orchestra, concert
band, or band and strings combined!

Threefold—Richard Summers. Mixed meters,
hemiola, and syncopation give this exciting piece its

countermelodies. With limited exposed parts, this
offers opportunities for teaching important musical
concepts while enabling students to feel secure in
their performance. A good choice to open or close
your concert, festival or contest.
