Four Cumberland Sketches—Randall
Stand-ridge. The natural beauty of the
Cumberland National Park serves as the
inspriation for this colorful and emotional
work. Presented as an attacca suite in four
movements, it depicts the passing of the
seasons in this gorgeous locale. Beginning
with the fun of a summer river adventure,
it transitions to a fiddle song celebrating
the autumn harvest. Next, the cold winds
of winter provide a somber contrast before
spring bursts forth in a verdant celebration.
Teaching and expressive opportunities
abound in this expansive work that will
showcase your ensemble's best assets at
your next concert or festival performance!

Fracas—Randall Standridge. Fracas (noun):
a noisy, disorderly disturbance or fight;
riotous brawl; uproar. This perfectly describes
this pulsating work by composer Randall
Standridge that serves as a spiritual follow-up
to his piece Ruckus. Inspired by the horn
bands and jazz musicians of the '60s and
'70s, this work includes memorable horn riffs,
challenging percussion, and unbridled rhythmic
energy. Pops meets symphonic to great effect
in this work that is sure to bring the house down
at your next concert!

Fractures in Time—Tyler Arcari. Staccato

keeping tense moments in time. Contrasting
legato sections also feature a number of
solo opportunities.

From Glen to Glen—Robert Sheldon. Inspired
by the music of Scotland, this stellar original
opens with a strathspey written in a bold and
majestic manner. A brief transition introduces
the beautiful Scottish carol Christ Child's
Lullaby before a percussion interlude gives
a nod to the music of the traditional Scottish
military tattoo. The work culminates in an
energetic cut-time reel which brings the piece
to a rousing conclusion. Incredible writing!

Funiculi, Funicula—Luigi Denza/arr. Reed.
Wow! This Alfred Reed arrangement is destined
to be a classic. It's a very familiar and popular
Neapolitan song of the 1880's arranged as a
tarantella and set for the full resources of the
modern concert band. It has the feel of a classic
European concert march with tremendous
appeal and a variety of performance uses. This
is perfect as an encore selection!

Golden Panther March—Robert Sheldon. If
a traditional march could be called fresh and
new, this wonderful original would check every
box. This march in 6/8 has all the calling cards
of a traditional-style march, perfect for contest
and festival performance, with all of the modern
charm we have come to love from this beloved
composer. Brass ranges and technique are
very reasonable, and the woodwinds get to
flex their muscles. As well suited to a concert
opener as it is to an enthusiastic encore. A
must-have in every library!

for conductors looking for something outside
the norm.

outstanding concert/contest selection has
made a strong step toward becoming an
established part of the repertoire. Built on an
unrelenting rhythmic ostinato and variations, it
is a work of merit that should not be overlooked!

Heal (Mvt. 2 from "Suite for the Heroes
Among Us")—Robert W. Smith. "Suite for
the Heroes Among Us" is a musical tribute
to the everyday heroes that dedicate their
lives to the care and protection of us all.
This movement is dedicated to the medical
professionals that care for us each and every
day. A emotionally powerful musical statement
that is programmable and appropriate for every
community in the world. Powerful!

Heatherwood Portrait—James Barnes/
arr. 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 paired with
the flowing melodic lines, provides for great
opportunities for music making! A darker-
sounding middle section with a flute solo is
ominous and full of color. Effective!
11355733 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .75.00
Hebrides Suite—Clare Grundman. This
beautifully contrasting 4-movement suite,
based on folk songs of the Hebrides Islands,

and community ensembles. A stirring addition
to the flexible instrumentation repertoire.

Hold This Boy and Listen—Carter Pann.
Inspired by the composer's young nephew,
it is unusually quiet and subdued for a wind
band composition and will prove to be a great
exercise in restraint for musicians.

the colorful and exotic sounds of India with

Bollywood sound. Using a wealth of authentic
instruments, including suggestions for alterna-
tives, the music has a unique and colorful sound
that seemingly jumps off the page. From ethereal

Homestretch Galop—Karl King/arr. Gene
Milford. This can be a march or a galop - it all
depends on the tempo your group can handle
and what your musicality tells you. It's another
magnificent work from the pen of an American
march master that will sparkle on any program.

many state lists.

Hymn to the Fallen (Concert Band With
Optional Chorus Parts)—John Williams/arr.
Lavender. "Saving Private Ryan," a gripping,
powerful movie depicting the horrors of World
War II, is another milestone in the years Steven
Spielberg and John Williams have been
collaborating on films. Williams' score includes
this simple hymn, using chorus as an instrument
of the orchestra, adding a special reverence
and poignancy to the simple melody. Arranger
Paul Lavender brings this dignified edition to the
concert band stage. Highly recommended!

I Am—Andrew Boysen, Jr. Up-and-coming
composer Andrew Boysen won the 1992
Claude T. Smith award for this emotional
composition. Commissioned after the death
of a high school band member, the piece is
intended to be a celebration and reaffirmation
of life. The various moods of the piece are
presented with both power and sensitivity.
2274868 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .85.00
Ignition—Todd Stalter. The title for this says it
all! The blindingly fast and raucously energetic
concert opener will have everyone's hearts
racing. The energy unleashed in the music
and the imagery of the title serve both as a
metaphor for the "spark" of creativity, and as
a true celebration in sound!
10280022 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .78.00
In a Gentle Rain (Multiple Solo Options)—
Robert W. Smith. In A Gentle Rain, the second
movement from Smith's "Willson Suite," is
offered here to feature virtually any wind
instrument as the soloist. Serene by nature,
the charismatic melody is accompanied by
unique effects expressing the simple beauty
of a spring shower. An incredibly musical work
that will leave your audience in awe! Gorgeous!
