CONCERT & CONTEST
Shakespeare Meets Godzilla—Robert
Buckley. This inventive and entertaining piece is
a mash-up of two entirely different music styles
- Renaissance music and classic horror music.
Danger is afoot! Shakespeare, armed with only
his quill, must stop an enormous creature from
destroying his Globe Theatre. As in an epic film
score, the music underpins and adds drama to
the heroic tale. The effective orchestration and
artful interplay between the two music styles give
this piece the colorful sound and intensity of a
much more advanced piece.

Shine Bright—Patrick Roszell. This musical and
upbeat celebration of life was inspired in part by
the John Steinbeck quote, "It's so much darker
when a light goes out than it would have been if
it had never shone." After the brief introductory
flute solo, the content is persistently bright and
charismatic and will add a positive message
to any performance throughout the year. This
flexible version comes with supplemental parts
and permission is granted to photocopy as
needed. A percussion accompaniment track is
also available as a free download. String parts
have been edited with extra fingerings and
bowings to support students in mixed ensembles
playing in less familiar keys.

Skybridge Suite—Robert Sheldon. This delightful
three-movement suite begins with a bright and
bold Fanfare in 4/4 time. The second movement is
a poignant lyrical Interlude full of musical moments
in 3/4 time which features a trumpet solo. The
third movement is a jaunty March in cut time that
alternates between major and minor tonalities,
giving it a bit of a quirky attitude.

A Woodland Celebration—Robert Sheldon.
Perfect for opening or closing a concert for first-
year band students, this trotting work lends a light
rhythmic style to a tuneful melody. As soon as
young students can play a concert B-flat scale
and learn the concert A-flat note, this piece is
easily playable. Second clarinet does not go over
the break, and second trumpet and horn have
limited ranges as well.
