ORIGINAL CONCERT WORKS
A L L L E V E LS
American Landscape—Soon Hee Newbold.
Inspired by train rides through the countryside,
this full orchestra work depicts our diverse
landscape - from vast plains to majestic
mountains; from forests and streams to towns
and cities. Rich in history and diverse cultures, the
land tells many stories as varied as the backdrop.
The style and spirit of the piece has influences
from film and other contemporary American
composers. Enjoy the soaring melodies and
many colors of a cross-country train ride through
the multifaceted scenes of America.

Appalachian Morning—Robert Sheldon.
Acknowledge the Scottish and Irish pioneers of
Appalachia with a musical walk through the woods
and mountains of the Cumberland Gap. This lovely
composition allows for a moment of reflection and
lyrical expression on any concert program.

10522600 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . 10.00
Cumberland Cross—Carl Strommen. Sure to
delight, the central portion of this original piece
brings the unrestrained exuberance of bluegrass
fiddling to the orchestra. In a lovely contrast,
the piece opens and closes with a slow chorale,
bringing to mind sunset and sunrise over
the mountains.
10522571 Full Orchestra . . . . . . . . . .ME 59.00
10522572 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.00
Dark Adventure—Ralph Ford. It's ghostly!
It's creepy! Your orchestra will love it! From the
driving opening motives to the quirky gypsy-
sounding theme, this is haunted-house music at
its best! You can play this with either full or string
orchestra, but the percussion section is really
vital and should be used in both cases. This
is recommended and will thrill and delight your
audience! A winner!
2466837 String or Full Orchestra . .ME 59.00
5972599 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8.00
Dream Machine—Brian Balmages. This haunting,
powerful, and aggressive work draws inspiration
from a type of strobe light that can put an observer
into a state of "threshold consciousness," or
being half asleep. The music portrays sensations
including the eerie feeling of the transitional
sleep state and the intense experience of being
surrounded by swirling shapes and colors, and
then ventures into the world of lucid dreamers. The
result is a piece that is mystical, unsettling, driving,
powerful, and heroic.
10995983 Full Orchestra . . . . . . . . MA 120.00
10995984 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . 14.00
Engines of Resistance—Larry Clark. You will
want to program this thrilling music often! As the
title implies, there is dramatic tension between
opposing forces in the orchestra: a light ostinato
pattern opposes a heavy, aggressive melody;
bursts of percussion ring out against quieter
moments in the orchestra, and all these conflicting
elements come together for an incredible finish!
Can be performed as strings and percussion, or
as a full orchestra. A contest winner!
2416675 String or Full Orchestra . . . E 59.00
5800651 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8.00
Lux Aurumque—Eric Whitacre. Upon reading
Edward Esch's poem Light and Gold, Eric Whitacre
was immediately struck by its genuine, elegant
simplicity. He asked the celebrated American poet
Charles Anthony Silvestri to translate it into Latin
for his seminal Lux Aurumque for mixed choir a
cappella. A simple approach was essential to the
success of the work, and he waited patiently for
the tight harmonies to shimmer and glow. The
transcription for full orchestra was premiered by
the Minnesota Orchestra.

10678238 Full Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 35.00
A Matador's Tale—Mark Lortz. With traditional
Spanish flair, this programmatic work depicts a
bullfight, beginning with the matador's fanfare
entrance. After the various stages of the fight,
the music comes to a rousing end. The many
doublings in this intermediate work allow
orchestras to play it with missing instrumentation.

10696521 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.00
Millennium—Richard Meyer. This contemporary-
sounding overture is extremely powerful and full
of emotion from beginning to end. Colorful and
imaginative scoring features every section of the
symphony orchestra, resulting in a wonderfully
mature-sounding, yet playable, tour de force for
the student orchestra.
2397792 Full Orchestra . . . . . . . . . .ME 73.00
5730296 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.00
On Top of the World—Brian Balmages.
This invigorating overture is a celebration of
achievement and seeks to portray the feeling
of standing on top of the world. Featuring
memorable themes and vibrant fanfares, this is a
powerful way to begin your concert and really get
your winds and percussion involved.

10752899 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . 14.00
A Pirate's Legend—Soon Hee Newbold/arr.
Carl Rydlund. Experience the high seas with this
programmatic work for full orchestra complete
with mystery, adventure, sword battles and
buried treasure. A multitude of effects add to
the drama and intensity, including the unique
sound of glissando cello harmonics simulating
the sound of seagulls on a desert island. Includes
optional parts for your concert band members as
well (not playable by concert band alone).

Rites of Tamburo—Robert W. Smith. Entrancing
instrumental colors burst into splashes of energy
from the brass and rhythm sections, biting
dissonances abound, and a constant surge of
excitement flows through the piece. There's even
a measure where the brass are invited to "pick-a-
note" as they crescendo into a resolving chord...
a really neat effect!
2440741 String or Full Orchestra . . .M 65.00
5957618 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . 10.00
Second Storm—Robert W. Smith. Inspired
by the devastating hurricane season during the
summer of 2004, this begins with a melodic "calm
before the storm" introduction; and as the fury of
Mother Nature is unleashed, the work develops
using strong unison impacts with driving rhythmic
figures to capture the intensity of the event in
sound. Your intermediate orchestra will sound
big and bold.
2481119 String or Full Orchestra . .ME 65.00
10005397 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.00
Slingshot—Michael Story. This flexible original
work will provide the opportunity for an entire
instrumental program to perform together. Also
perfect for a first full orchestra experience with
plenty of doubling, it can be performed by string
orchestra alone or with almost any combination of
winds or percussion. Includes optional piano.

11000122 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.00
Summer Dances—Brian Balmages. Dramatic,
heroic and stately, this incredible work originally for
concert band is now available for full orchestra. A
proven winner that takes advantage of the fantastic
textures uniquely available to the combination of
winds, percussion and strings. Impressive!

10366881 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . 12.00
Waltz—Ilari Hylkila. A wistful work for full
orchestra, influenced by great romantic
composers like Dmitri Shostakovich. Waltz is
suitable for both professional orchestras and
amateur groups. Duration ca. 2:40.

type score features various solos throughout,
finishing with a riveting 12/8 section. Intense!
