With Quiet Courage—Larry Daehn. This
glowing tone poem is wonderful for teaching
phrasing and tone, and audiences love
it! Premiered by the U.S. Navy Band, it is

the notes. Heartfelt and beautiful!

Within the Castle Walls (Songs of Welsh
Revolution)—Brian Balmages. A collection of
Welsh tunes make up this four-movement suite
for developing bands. The first movement, "A
Mighty Warrior," is bold and brave, like the hero
it describes, with a strong Celtic feel. "Over the
Stone" is the reverent and reserved second
movement. A stately and majestic theme is
heard in "Men of Harlech." The suite concludes
with "Owain Glyndwr's War Song," which is a
Celtic military style march. A strong piece for
any concert program.

percussion only adds to the exciting build and
powerful ending!

An American Fanfare—Rick Kirby. This
dynamic concert opener takes the normally
hymn-like strains of America (My Country 'Tis

with both melodic and harmonic elements of the
original, making a breathtaking presentation!
