A Little Tango Music (6-Part Flex Band)—
Adam Gorb. This is a short sequence

melancholic, and dangerous dance from

version can be played in six parts.

A Longford Legend—Robert Sheldon. This
outstanding composition is destined to become
a classic! A Longford Legend is a tribute to the
wonderful band literature of Grainger, Holst,
and Vaughan Williams, and if you enjoy their
music, we know you'll enjoy this one. The
composer has based the piece on Irish street
ballads, and the Celtic mood is just delightful!
A magnificent showpiece for every instrument
in the band, this is a must for your next concert!
Absolutely superb!

Lord of the Rings—Johan de Meij/arr.
Lavender. Until now, De Meij's award-winning
symphony for band has been out of the reach
of most students. But after close consultation
with the composer, Paul Lavender has
masterfully adapted and condensed three of
the original five movements into a practical
concert version your band can play! It includes
a more standard instrumentation and optional
cuts allowing for several performance lengths.
Experience first-hand the power and depth of
this exciting music inspired by the book "Lord
Of The Rings" as perceived by one of Europe's
finest composers!

Lux Aurumque—Eric Whitacre. Based on
one of Whitacre's most popular choral works,
Lux Aurumque, here is an extraordinarily
lush and poignant adaptation transcribed for
concert band. Gorgeous, simple triads melt
from one chord to the next, creating a slowly
evolving wash of colors and light. Elegantly
orchestrated, this is a profoundly moving
experience for players and audiences alike.

Maestro (Overture for Band)—Randall Stan-
dridge. Written in memory of a beloved
educator, this work harkens back to the era
of the classic band overture. Beginning with a
clarinet solo, the musicians echo their "teacher"
before joining in on an emotional introduction. A
playful section follows, with melodic moments
for all instruments, before the original theme
returns for a rousing finale. Influenced by the
composer's nostalgia for the style, this overture
for band manages to sound reverential and
fresh at the same time. A great choice for your
next concert or festival performance!
11515749 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .75.00
Mesa Dances—Gavin Lendt. The people of
the southwest and its beautiful and majestic
landscapes serve as the inspiration for this
energetic work. Motivic repetition, relentless
percussion, and dramatic dynamic effects
paint a picture of the desert mountains
underneath a cerulean sky. With a keen sense
of orchestration, this exciting piece will work
well as an opener, finale, or any position in
your next concert or festival performance.

Minimalist Dances—Matt Conaway. This
unique work for advanced ensembles explores
three fundamental minimalist approaches,
but through the lens of very atypical styles.
Influenced by the masterworks of Glass, Riley,
and Adams, the composer uses a limited
melodic/rhythmic palette to maximum effect,
even including a rock-inspired shout section
that leads to the furious conclusion.

A Moorside March (5-Part Flex Band)—
Gustav Holst/arr. Michael Brand. This five-
part flexible version of the March from Holst's
"Moorside Suite" is an excellent option for
playing the music of this master composer. It
is a stirring and flowing piece that works in any
concert situation.

Mother Earth (A Fanfare)—David Maslanka.

fanfare is not for the faint of heart. It is in 3/4, but
conducted in a brisk one, making it a challenging
work for every player in the band. With each
passing measure the audience will be riveted to
every note, and will want to hear more once the
piece comes to an exhilarating climax!

A Mother of a Revolution!—Omar Thomas.
This piece is a celebration of the bravery of
trans women, and in particular, Marsha "Pay
It No Mind" Johnson. Marsha is credited with
being one of the instigators of the famous
Stonewall uprising of June 28, 1969 - a pivotal
event in the gay rights movement of the 20th
century. The disco vibe in the latter half of
the piece is meant to honor club culture, a
sacred space among LGBTQ people in which
to love, live, mourn, heal, strategize, connect,
disconnect, and dance. This piece was
commissioned by the Desert Winds Freedom
Band to commemorate the 50th anniversary of
the Stonewall uprising.

rhythmic ostinati, this musical representation
captures the majesty and might of one of
nature's greatest creations.
10093421 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .78.00
Mountain Beauty—Andrew Balent. Written
to portray the mountains along the North
and South Carolina border, this light allegro
overture is written in ABA form. With many
dynamic contrasts, articulations to accomplish,
and short soloistic opportunities, this is a
great overture to use to teach these essential
musical concepts. The legato middle section
lets the ensemble focus on tone quality and
phrasing. A return to the opening section's style
ends this composition in an exciting manner. A
great choice for concert or contest.
11516641 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .85.00
Mountain Thyme—Samuel R. Hazo. Written
as a musical memorial, this beautifully
emotional setting is a reworking of the
traditional folk song The Braes of Baquhidder,
also known as Wild Mountain Thyme, by
Scottish writer Robert Tannahill. With a varied
tapestry of colors, textures and dynamics, this
stunning musical work takes full advantage of
the depth and power of the modern wind band.
10348112 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .75.00
Moving at the Speed of Sound (Legacy
Reduced Instrumentation Series)—Mark
Lortz. This vivid fanfare, rescored for bands
with reduced instrumentation, features rousing
brass motives, dynamic woodwind flourishes
and active percussion, all combining to create
an explosive concert opening statement.
Beginning quietly, the action builds quickly,
accelerating into a spinning sonic dynamo
that truly befits the title. Every section has
actively rhythmic parts that keep the action
moving forward. Technical demands kept at
a very playable level, while occasional time
signature changes dart and weave throughout
this musical thrill ride.

My Bonny Boy (from "English Folk Song
Suite, Mvt. 2"/Build-a-Band)—Ralph
Vaughan Williams/arr. Ed Huckeby. The
beautiful intermezzo, entitled My Bonny Boy,
from Ralph Vaughan Williams' iconic English
Folk Song Suite has been skillfully adapted into
a Build-A-Band edition. This allows bands with
limited or unusual instrumentation, or sparsely-
sized to enjoy the unique character of this band
classic. The two folk tunes incorporated in this
movement provide tremendous educational
opportunities for bands to develop contrasting
stylistic skills while rehearsing and performing
a classic masterwork. Superb!
11314530 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .60.00
Nessun Dorma—Gioachino Puccini/arr.
James Barnes. This aria from the final act of
Puccini's opera "Turandot" is one of the best-
known tenor arias in all of opera. It achieved
pop status after Luciano Pavarotti's 1972
recording of it was used as the theme song of
BBC television's coverage of the 1990 FIFA
World Cup in Italy and became the famous
tenor's signature aria. This unique arrangement
for symphonic band faithfully captures the
beauty and richness of Puccini's original
orchestral scoring.
11518687 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .65.00
Night on Fire—John Mackey. This second
movement from the suite The Soul Has Many
Motions has a raw and brutal nature that will
definitely stand out on any program. The exotic
and at times savage sounds suggest wild
dancing around a nomadic camp fire, complete
with tambourine, multiple hand drums and
harsh, biting winds. The harsh and aggressive
nature of the work is sure to deliver an impact
not soon forgotten!
10376300 Band Set & Score . . . . . . .145.00
Nightmare Fuel—Mat Campbell. Combining a
twisted original lullaby, a thrilling soundscape,
an optional click track, and an indescribable
entity, this fresh and original work takes
audiences through a sonic psychological
thriller. This recurring nightmare will surely
bring a cinematic highlight to concert programs.
11516151 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .70.00
Nightride—Robert Sheldon. This impressive
composition includes expressive moments that
range from menacing to tender, aggressive to
introspective, and capricious to heroic. The
multi-meter high-speed romp in the opening
allegro yields to a heartfelt lyrical adagio before
returning to variations of the initial theme that
culminate in a raucous conclusion. Everyone
has melodic opportunities, and the percussion
section will shine!
11352549 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .75.00
Noisy Wheels of Joy—Eric Whitacre.
Raucous and breathtaking, this overture
by Eric Whitacre will make a memorable
opening for any concert! It's far from the
ordinary overture fare; you'll thoroughly enjoy
the unexpected melodic twists and turns so
brilliantly intertwined with more traditional,
lyrical themes. The overall effect is jubilant,
somewhat quirky, but ultimately delightful!
