l Variation Overture—Clifton Williams/arr. Clarence
E. Barber. From its premiere years ago, this work
has been a hugely successful classic. Presented
as a concert overture, the theme and variations are
immensely enjoyable to perform and to hear, time
and time again. The level of difficulty is deceiving, as
the work sounds more difficult than it is technically.
This arrangement is for flexible ensemble.

proven band classic. With the first statement of

Voices of the Sky—Samuel Hazo. The many
qualities and changes in appearance of the sky
are translated into musical moods through this

Impeccable timing and emotional pacing sustain
and propel this effective work.

Arabian Sandscapes—Rossano Galante.
This stunning work opens with a bold unison
statement of the main theme by the brass. After
