Tangents—Michael Oare. The term "tangent"
appears in geometry, art, and language - it can
describe lines, shapes, or thoughts that connect or
touch but do not cross or overlap. In this exciting
and creative work for young bands, the composer
uses contrasting marcato and legato themes along
with an underlying rhythmic ostinate to create an
unsettled feeling - a suspenseful sense of "going
off on a tangent."

The Tears of Arizona—Brian Balmages.
Commissioned to commemorate the 75th
anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the music
begins very solemnly, referring to the "tears" of oil
that continue to be shed daily by the sunken ship.
The section The Pride of Arizona moves past the
tears and to the pride of the crew members and the
feeling of the "spirit of aloha." Percussion loosely
imitates the groove of a luau, yet is juxtaposed
with moments of pause and reflection. The final
statement feels incomplete, reminding the audience
that the tears have not stopped flowing. Magical!

is guaranteed to make your beginners sound like pros!

concert, and your audience will be amazed at how
good The Tempest makes your group sound!
