Centrifugal Force—David R. Gillingham.
Set in D locrian mode (with notes of the E-flat
major scale), this is a dark, engaging work that
plays with the word "centrifugal" - the force
that acts on objects within a rotating frame of
reference, directing them away from the axis.
This energetic work also masterfully crafts
a spinning fugue which gives each section
of the ensemble a chance in the spotlight.
Both clarinet parts play above the break. An
excellent choice for concert or contest.

Cherry Tree—Yukiko Nishimura. Composed
to capture the wondrous spring feelings that
cherry blossoms inspire, this beautiful ballad is
designed to project sentiments of elation and
hope for a brighter future. Use this to teach the
importance of inner melodies, a lighter playing
style, staccato figures, and the balancing of
long phrases. A contrasting middle section lets
you work on tempo variations and the balance
of harmonic patterns. A return to the calmness
of the opening ends the composition on a
hopeful note. A great choice as a contrasting
selection in concerts and contests, this work
will challenge and reward your performers.

Choreography—Robert Sheldon. Written in
overture form, the piece draws its inspiration

stage, ballet and theatrical productions. Fast-
paced angular gestures accompanied by rapid
rhythmical punctuations provide a thrilling
opening before yielding to a contrasting lyrical
section with long, flowing lines that offer

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing—
arr. Randall D. Standridge. Standridge
has arranged this reverent and somewhat
sad-sounding hymn in honor of the life and
influence of his grandmother, who passed
away in 2012. Moving from moments of quiet
beauty though hugely magnificent waves
of sound, this compelling piece is a great
example of the expressiveness and power that
can be achieved by a fine concert band work.
The final statement of the melody by a solo
clarinet wraps up this memorable hymn-tune
arrangement in a reverent, quiet way.

The Country Club Stomp!—JaRod Hall.
Experience a New Orleans vibe with this
exciting, parade-inspired crowd pleaser!
A celebration of music, life, and love, this
piece has an infectious rhythmic groove and
a spirited melody. Elements of jazz occur
throughout, and there is strong reference to
the West African circle dances from which
this music evolved. Stellar writing that is
fun, catchy, informative, spirited - and very
accessible. Musicians and audiences won't be
able to get enough!
11399678 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .65.00
