Suite From Mass—Leonard Bernstein/arr.
Michael Sweeney. Using the monumental work
to draw from, this suite focuses on a select
number of movements, often using the brass
quintet to represent the vocal lines found in the
original. Striking and beautiful, it includes Alleluia,
Sanctus, A Simple Song, Agnus Dei, Offertory and
Almighty Father. Scored for brass quintet and
wind ensemble, there are ample cues provided to
allow this to be performed by wind ensemble or
symphonic band alone.

Sunshine—Katahj Copley. This bright work utilizes
color, rhythm, and melody to propel itself forward.
This piece was written to resemble the sun and
the many colors it can show throughout the world.
The meter is used effectively to push the piece
forward in the latter half, and it presents some
great opportunities for the woodwinds to achieve
with some faster lines along with some beautiful
melodic lines for the whole band. This work will be
one that will leave an impression on your students
and audiences alike.

Sword of the Titans—Rossano Galante. A
thrilling programmatic work, this portrays the
journey of a group of titans in their quest to retrieve
a stolen sword that was lost in battle. The music
describes this adventure with dark melodic lines
in the horns and majestic fanfares in the trumpets
and trombones. Ultimately, the titans retrieve
their stolen sword as the work concludes with
powerful brass fanfares and woodwind ostinati. A
magnificent tour de force for mature bands!

a popular choice for contests and festivals.

H Tempered Steel—Charles Young. The key word
here is "steel"... or metal. Metal clangs, it blows,
it vibrates, it excites, and it has strength. This
urgent, driving piece has those qualities, and
you'll find it's a neat and unique addition to the
repertoire. Expressing a celebration of our triumph
over unavoidable hardships and obstacles we
regularly face that force us to be stronger, resilient,
or "tempered," the piece explores the metallic
sonorities of the wind band to great effect.

Theme and Fugue from The Young Person's
Guide to the Orchestra—Benjamin Britten/
arr. Richard L. Saucedo. Originally composed to
introduce the various instruments of the orchestra,
this set of variations by Benjamin Britten is based on
a melody by Henry Purcell. In this setting for wind
band, the opening theme is presented and then
followed the exuberant fugue which culminates in
a glorious finale and recap of Purcell's melody. A
stunning work for mature ensembles.

Turkish Fragments—Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov/arr.
John R. Bourgeois. A richly melodic suite highlighted
by distinctly oriental musical characteristics. Four
movements make up the suite: Caravan, reminiscent
of steady travel over a sea of sand; At Rest, which
is both tranquil and lively; Night, serenely flowing
in nature with a slight air of mystery; and Festival,
dance-like and exuberant. Material from folk music
of the Turkish region is combined with a wide pallet
of instrumental colors to weave an exotic tapestry
uniquely intriguing in its appeal.

Until the Scars—John Mackey. This striking
adaptation has all the intensity and drama of the
original. The powerful opening creates high drama,
as if mighty forces gather to prepare for battle. Once
assembled, the music takes on a quieter but more
suspenseful nature, the tension building as the
forces grow close. Concluding in a virtual firestorm
of sound and fury, all the forces of winds, percussion
and brass combine for a breathtaking finish.

Urban Dances—Erik Morales. Rhythm is the key
element of this vibrant and contemporary piece
which incorporates many of the rhythms found in
today's popular music. The melodic and thematic
elements, while important, play a supportive and
secondary role. In many instances the thematic
material floats over the rhythmic pulse creating a
double time feel. It's lively and persistent throughout
with very active and involved percussion.
2480723 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .80.00
H Variations on a Korean Folk Song—John
Barnes Chance. A very deservedly popular
composition consisting of five contrasting variations
on a lyrical Korean folk song. Stated first in unison
by the woodwinds, the material is brilliantly explored
and developed, and the use of Oriental harmonies is
tastefully controlled. The percussion section is used
extensively, both rhythmically and melodically.
153544 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .95.00
H Variations on a Shaker Melody—Aaron
Copland. Scored for band by the composer, this
outstanding work uses the Shaker tune Simple
Gifts, which was first brought to public attention in
Copland's "Appalachian Spring." This beautiful folk
tune is treated very imaginatively and colorfully.
153635 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .80.00
Victory—Rossano Galante. Sweeping melodic
lines interact with gorgeous textures and powerful
fanfares in this masterful work about achieving
success against all odds. Moments of unabashed
joy contrast lyrical melodies that represent sadness
before the entire work culminates in a grandiose
return of the main theme.
11160902 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . .100.00
Watchman, Tell Us of the Night—Mark
Camphouse. A hymn for all children, this rich and
powerful tone poem was composed as a tribute
to the survivors of child abuse. It is based on the

Come. An expansive work by the composer of A
Movement for Rosa.

H The Witch and The Saint—Steven Reineke. A
major contribution that's sure to become a part
of standard repertoire. This ten-minute tone poem
in one movement comprises five distinct sections
that tell the legend of twin sisters born in Germany
in 1588. Starting with a Gregorian chant motif, all
manner of musical sorcery is used to represent
the turbulent lives of these vastly misunderstood
women. Steven Reineke brings us yet another
fascinating work of lasting popularity.
