Fivefold—Michael Oare. As the title implies,
this remarkable composition contains several
references to the number five. The 5/4 meter
is an obvious connection; more subtle is the

a fifth. Also, remarkably, only five different
pitches are used except for two measures
near the end. Despite using a single tempo
throughout, the colorful variety in textures and
moods are especially appealing.

of color. The perfect opener for your young
concert band!

reflective, intense, somber and inspiring. Very
highly recommended.

most creative composer. The concept of this

ways to perform other than with the traditional
percussion instruments. Using "found"
percussion instruments in addition to creative
wind parts, the piece creates a life of its own to
the delight of musicians and audiences!
10282825 Band Set & Score . . . . . . .145.00
Gadget—Randall D. Standridge. Intriguing
sound effects from the percussion section bring
this dynamic piece to life. The winds provide
