CONCERT & CONTEST medium-easy
Imani—Sean O'Loughlin. Imani, which
means faith, is the seventh day of Kwanzaa,
the African and African-American celebration
of family and culture. This challenging and
colorful piece rises from its quiet chant-like
opening (involving part of the band singing
the "Imani" tune) to a sonorous major climax
at measure 51. The faster section that follows
makes brilliant use of an enlarged percussion
section that includes a number of assorted
instruments (Log drums, Congas, Claves, et.
al.) This is a terrific multicultural selection that
will have many uses for holiday programs and
contest performances.

In Simple Faith—arr. Randall D. Standridge.
Few genres of music adapt to concert band
writing as effectively as hymn tunes, and
this setting is a glowing example. This very
musical concert work is based on the hymn
'Tis so Sweet to Trust in Jesus with enhancing
material added for transitions and unity.
Beautifully written in the style of a classic hymn
song setting for band, it's a remarkably musical
setting that embraces the style and deserves a
special place in the repertoire.

In the Bleak Midwinter—Gustav Holst/arr.
Smith. With broad, expansive strokes, yet
with great sensitivity and taste, Robert Smith
has created a truly remarkable setting of
the beautiful Holst melody. From a haunting
single voice, a stunning climax is reached
before giving way to a simple restatement.
This is a deeply moving, emotional work
for concert band, an ideal choice for winter
and holiday concerts, and we recommend it
very highly!

contrasting movements feature the songs: Le
Furet; The Laurel Grove and King Dagobert.
It's a bright selection, at times capricious, at
others regal, but overall endearing!

engaging parts. Kick off your concert or contest
performance in high gear!

Into the Arctic—Brian Balmages. This
hauntingly aggressive work investigates

Irish Tune from County Derry—Percy
Aldridge Grainger/arr. Rob Romeyn. This
Grainger classic is unquestionably one of the
most beloved standards of the concert band
repertoire. This brilliant arrangement has
been skillfully and carefully adapted to better
fit the instrumentation of a smaller ensemble,
allowing the piece to be performed effectively
by many more bands that would otherwise not
have the opportunity. All of Grainger's iconic
melodic and harmonic lines and harmonic
structure are present and left intact. Great
music for younger performers!

Jovian Farewell—Michael Sweeney. This
beautiful piece is a carefully paced memorial
work. The title refers to the planet Jupiter, and
the music incorporates the famous chorale by
Gustav Holst. The familiar melody is hinted at
early and then developed through a series of
layers and phrases with building intensity. The
full chorale emerges near the end, then tapers
peacefully to a tender close.

contest use, you'll find that this work will let
your band sound their very best!
