CONCERT & CONTEST easy
Unconquered Soul—Bryce Newton. A
beautiful memorial to a beloved teacher
and friend, this lush piece sounds musically
demanding; however, it is actually very
accessible to developing musicians. Flowing
seamlessly from the lyrical choral section into
an uplifting faster section, this piece is perfect
for training players to watch the conductor
for tempo. The expert voicing will make your
young band sound full and lush, even with
limited instrumentation. An excellent middle
selection for your assessment performance.

Under the Prairie Sky—Robert Buckley. This
beautiful work was inspired by the magnificent
and expansive prairie landscape - and its
cloudscape. The sky is constantly changing,
and its many moods reflect on the land
below to create a sense of wonder and awe.
Featuring festive dancelike rhythms and rich
majestic themes, this work is skillfully scored
so that developing players will sound their best.
A great concert opener or festival piece!

Valley of Shadows—LeAndre Benton. Starting
aggressively with a simple melody and active
percussion, this piece about the adventure of
walking through a scary forested valley lets you
introduce programmatic music to your students
in a fun and entertaining way. Along the journey,
they will encounter a snake represented
by a ratchet, and they'll use contemporary
techniques like dissonance, screaming, and
clapping. With active percussion and plenty
of rhythmic challenges, this is at the upper
level for a beginning band composition and is
most appropriate for a second-year concert or
advanced first-year band.

Wellerman (Flex-Band)—Paul Murtha.
This well-known whaling song from New
Zealand has been at the forefront of the rise
in popularity of sea shanties. Featuring a
memorable melody, rich harmonies, and a nice
mix of textures, here is a great sounding setting
scored for flexible instrumentation.

Where Words End...—Randall D. Standridge.
Sometimes, music is not "about" anything - it
exists solely for the beautiful sounds created
and the emotions derived from that aesthetic
experience. This piece falls firmly into this
category, making creative use of the ranges
and colors available for young bands to create
a truly remarkable expressive work.

Whiplash—Michael Story. An exciting overture
and a perfect choice for your next concert or
festival. With its bright tempo, syncopations,
and memorable melodic lines, your students
will shine. (1:50)

Wildflowers—Todd Stalter. Imagine the
feeling you get when gazing upon a meadow
of flowers on a bright summer day. You'll get
that same feeling when you hear the flowing
lines and glowing harmonies of this expressive
work! Everyone will enjoy all the collective
beauty, fragility, and wonder of the music as it
floats through the air like a warm gentle breeze.

A Wish for Today—Gabrielle Jantelezio Wojcik.
Each day presents a variety of experiences.
They can be magical, challenging, or
surprising. This optimistic march tells a story
of the day unfolding before us as more and
more instruments join in the music making. It
provides your developing band the opportunity
to study, develop, and perform basic skills
such as tone quality, intonation, small
ensemble playing, balance, and blend as well
as a variety of articulations and dynamics.

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.

Ye Banks and Braes O' Bonnie Doon—arr.
Michael Sweeney. This arrangement of the
lyrical folksong provides a wealth of musicality
through creative harmonies and skilled
scoring. Every section gets a chance to play
the melody at some point. A delightful setting
for young players.

Yellow Moon—Aaron McMichael. When
the moon appears orange or yellow, it
simply means that the observer is looking
at it through more layers of the atmosphere.
This lyrical composition set in the easily
accomplishable key of concert B flat uses
multiple musical layers to create an aural
impression of the moon's visual appearance.
Using gentle percussion and small dissonant
moments, this is the perfect piece to teach
rubato phrase shaping and the concepts
of minor tempo variations to help create
a mood. There are no extreme range
challenges, so performers can concentrate
on creating emotional moments with a
beautiful performance. Great as a contrasting
selection or as a contest ballad.

Zig Zag (Flexcel Concert Series)—Sean
O'Loughlin. An exciting composition for the
young concert band. Full of flair and the
rhythmic motifs that we have come to love,
composer Sean O'Loughlin has created a
piece your students will want to play again and
again! This arrangement has been rescored for
flexible instrumentation.

Zombie Attack—Jason Taurins. A definite
hit! This creepy work for developing bands is a
perfect fit for your next Halloween concert. With
plenty of opportunity for sonorous tutti playing
and low brass independence, the unique
harmonic style is great for teaching common
accidentals. Your students will ask to play this
spooky thriller again and again!

Zombie Tango—James Meredith. Zombies
are all the craze, showing up in movies on
television, and in this Latin original, on the
dance floor. It's a clash of two worlds, the
stylish and elegant tango being danced by two
gruesome creatures. It's a fun selection with
numerous opportunities for additional special
effects and added showmanship.
