Novo Lenio—Samuel Hazo. This is a Samuel
Hazo's National Band Association award-
winning composition, a continuous three-
movement work that offers various styles
and much to keep your interest. Based on a
school alma mater, the sections are varied in
mood yet cohesive in thematic material. The
first movement, Remembrance, is somewhat
somber in tone; the second movement Qui
Non Proficit Deficit is more dissonant; and the
final movement A New Beginning is meant to
sound full and proud.

fresh, this dancelike composition was inspired
by the pelicans observed on the composer's
way to work. The opening motif, played by
the entire ensemble in the first measure, is
fundamental to the entire work. Stated in some
form at the beginning of each musical section, it
even appears as a bass line. Performed at one
tempo throughout, this can be used to work on
dynamic contrasts that are so essential in music
performance while also reinforcing how a theme
can be changed and developed throughout a
piece. Percussion drives the energy and lets
your percussionists develop their skills on hand
percussion. Enjoy the dance!
