Grand Tetons—Carl Strommen. The Grand
Tetons in the Rocky Mountains are the basis
for this concert and contest overture. Opening
with a broad, majestic feel with light snare drum
accompaniment, the ensemble quickly encounters
dynamic contrasts and mixed-meter sections. A
trumpet solo leads into a western-sounding section
that continues developing your ensemble's mixed-
meter abilities. With singable melodies, dramatic
moments, and strident, energetic contributions
from each performer, this is a great choice for
opening a concert or for use at contest.

in its title, Groove Music is a work that focuses on
various combinations of rhythms. The first section
introduces the groove, layering instruments and
changing textures. A thicker, more playful groove
is introduced in the second section. Both ideas
come together in the final section, concluding with
a spectacular wall of color and rhythm!

explores the relationship between oneself and the
outside world. Turbulent forces and fast, driving
rhythms surround the listener in the turmoil of
personal growth. Exciting woodwind flourishes in the
flutes, oboes, alto saxes, and first clarinets along with
exhilarating percussive rhythms and glorious brass
fanfares in reasonable ranges bring this enthusiastic
journey of self-discovery to a close. A powerful work
that is still very accessible for its level.

Clarence E. Barber. This spirited work is playable by
any SSATB combination of woodwind, brass, and
string players with optional percussion. The sleigh
bells give this energy and a lightness that, when

great opportunities for music making! A darker-
sounding middle section with a flute solo is ominous
and full of color. Effective!
