trees, picturesque streams and lakes, and
rugged hills delight the senses, and there might
even be an early snowfall. This expressive piece
offers many educational opportunities like lyrical
performance, varying musical styles, phrasing,
and ensemble rubato. (2:00)

Aventura—James Swearingen. This writer
simply gets better and better! Swearingen's
music for the intermediate level band has

your audience with a spectacular performance
that won't soon be forgotten.

Be Thou My Vision—arr. Larry Clark.
Presented as a set of variations, this glorious
arrangement of the Irish hymn is a gorgeous
selection for any concert or contest. A Celtic

is sure to leave a lasting impression. Beautiful!

Benediction—John Stevens. Originally scored
for brass choir, this marvelous version for full
band features flowing melodies and counterlines
in a rich chorale-like setting. The solo part at the
beginning and end is scored for euphonium, but
is cued for clarinet, trumpet or trombone. Great
for teaching a lyric style of playing, and also as
an effective performance piece.

inspired numerous authors and continues to
puzzle those who dream of another dimension
beyond our own. This evocative composition is
sure to fuel the imagination while providing a
wealth of musical opportunities. The mystical
opening features several short solos before
leading to a rich cantabile section for horns and
low brass. From there, the piece intensifies to a
dramatic peak before returning to the soloistic
feel of the beginning.

Big Bad and Blue—Michael J. Miller. Here's
a groovy original work that is a fresh addition
to the concert band repertoire and introduces
young musicians to the blues scale. Vibes,
muted trumpet, alto sax, clarinet, and flute

Blue and Green Music—Samuel R. Hazo.
The stunning artwork of Georgia O'Keeffe is no
more apparent than in her famous 1921 painting
entitled "Blue and Green Music." Subtle and bold
colors are captured in this musical representation
of the artwork. Based on a single theme that is
manipulated and varied throughout, the piece
progresses from delicate mallet percussion
effects up to climactic impact points for the entire
ensemble. Ms. O'Keeffe explained her idea that
"music could be translated into something for the
eye." This piece translates it back into something
for the ear.

harmonies not too common in the concert band
world. Sure to be a hit!

Brave Spirit—Randall D. Standridge. This
authentic work captures the spirit of Chinese
music beautifully with the use of a pentatonic
scale, a synthesized mandolin, and solos for
flute and piccolo. Brave Spirit begins with
a slow introduction featuring a flute/piccolo
duet, then launches into a stirring, tom-tom
driven fast section. A peaceful middle section
featuring the synthesized mandolin sound
interjects before the fast melody returns to
bring this wonderful Chinese-style band work
to a stirring conclusion!
10520936 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .65.00
Bull City Fanfare—Ed Kiefer. This exciting
opener or closer, easily accessible to most
high school or community bands, is named for
Bull City, Durham, North Carolina. Played with
a steady tempo that features moving low brass
lines answered with woodwind counterpoints
and an aggressive horn section, this is an
excellent showcase for each section of the
band. The percussion section is an integral part
of the composition's fabric and the extensive
use of toms, hand drums, tambourine, and
cymbals lets performers develop skills on these
important percussion elements. An excellent
choice for concert or contest, or program this
for an interesting and different overture.
11516613 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .95.00
Call of the Wild—Brian Balmages. A musical
portrayal inspired by the novel of the same name
by author Jack London. Each of the five sections

accented passages and heroic melodies. This is
programmatic writing at its finest!
