CONCERT & CONTEST medium
Rhapsody for Alto Saxophone and
Band—Fritz Neubock. Composed in 2005 for
Solowerke fur Wettbewerb (Solo Pieces for
Contests) in Austria, this rhapsody starts rather
unconventionally with a cadenza that leads to
a lyrical andante in the classic A-B-A format.
Contrasting the lyrical opening, the fast ending
section in rondo form puts the alto saxophone
in the spotlight as virtuoso solo instrument.
The essence of both parts are the sound and
rhythmical expansion of the two interludes: an
andante in 7/8 time and a minimal piece in
the allegro, giving the work an extraordinary
dimension that offers both musicians and
audience a truly unique experience. Due to the
great success of the version for concert band,
an adaptation was made for fanfare band.

Riptides—Katahj Copley. Explore the fear of
the unknown with this turbulent work depicting
the dangerous nature of the ocean. You will
encounter sounds such as snarling muted
brass, glissandos, raucous rhythms, and harsh
articulations. The percussion in this work can be
described as eccentric and will fully engage all
of your young musicians. A must-have addition!

River of Life—Steven Reineke. We urge you
to look at this important work! This composer
is the resident composer for the Cincinnati
Pops Orchestra and we feel that this is an
incredible composition...the highs, the lows,
the development, the scoring, the transitions,
the themes...all point to a piece that must be
given a place in the band repertoire. Best of all,
is that this work will appeal on several levels,
the melodies and rhythms immediately grab
you, but on a deeper level, the composer's skill
is quite evident. Our highest recommendations!

Safe Harbor—Robert Longfield. Sparkling
woodwinds, triumphant brass, and colorful
percussion highlight this enthralling overture.
Scored for everyone in the band to have an
interesting part, the piece will work in a variety
of slots in your concert or festival program.

Scramble—Todd Stalter. A tumultuous
concert opener or closer intended to depict
two characteristics of the title, the frantic
collecting of things together in a disorderly
way, and darting about quickly with a sense of
urgency. Once the theme is presented the fun
really starts! The action revs up as the musical
"parts" are separated and combined in unique
and haphazard combinations, all at break-neck
speed that will leave everyone breathless!

Sea Songs—Ralph Vaughan Williams. One
of the simpler works by Vaughan Williams
for band, this setting of English sea songs
was originally written in 1924. The scoring is
direct and straightforward, resulting in a most
rewarding yet highly playable work.

The Seal Lullaby—Eric Whitacre. This loving
and dreamlike work captures the undulating
rhythm of a mother rocking her child to sleep.
The piece was inspired by the classic Rudyard
Kipling poem White Seal. Magical!

adaptation of the landmark work for band, the
extreme ranges have been adjusted for young
players, the instrumentation has been updated
to that of the contemporary concert band and
liberal cues have been added, particularly for
oboe, bassoon and horn. The integrity of the
original is completely intact and will serve as a
wonderful experience for young bands.

Sedona—Steven Reineke. Don't miss this
distinctive composition! Having has had
several wonderful pieces published already,
this successful composer has captured
in musical ideas the natural landscape of
mountains and wide open spaces, and uses
them to paint a musical canvas that is at once
bold, entertaining, and filled with life. A short,
memorable theme runs throughout the work,
showing up in a delicate flute solo, an intricate
woodwind fugue, a warm trombone solo, and
a bold, triadic trumpet statement that will pick
you up right out of your seat. A marvelous piece
that we highly recommend to all bands!

Serenata—Leroy Anderson/arr. Mark Rogers.
Boston Pops conductor Arthur Fiedler praised
the piece as among his favorites. Lyrics were
added by Mitchell Parish, which would lead to
recordings by the likes of Sarah Vaughan and
Nat King Cole. With a beguine rhythm as a
background, the Latin American serenade would
give the piece its title. This is the first-ever edition
to offer a full score, exposing this enchanting
work to new generations of audiences.

Serenity—Ola Gjeilo/trans. J. Eric Wilson.
Beautifully arranged by J. Eric Wilson along
with the composer, this version for wind band
maintains all the wonder and magic of the
original choral work. The opening is ethereal
and somber, with sustained chords in clarinets
and bowed percussion supporting a delicate
oboe solo. The middle section shifts the
principal modality from minor to major, and
the layering orchestration and rising tessitura
creates a tremendous rush of energy that leads
to a triumphant climax. The closing section
returns to the timbre of the opening, but now
painted with hopefulness and healing.

Seventeen Come Sunday (from "English
Folk Song Suite" Mvt. 1)—Ralph Vaughan
Williams/arr. Ed Huckeby. The famous march
from Ralph Vaughan Williams' iconic "Folk
Song Suite" has been masterfully arranged,
allowing bands with limited instrumentation
to enjoy the uniqueness of this classic work.
Every original melodic line, chord, and nuance
is included so it can be performed in its original
style, even by ensembles with very limited
instrumentation. This is a must-have for any
band library. A true band standard!

part of the foundation of the wind repertoire
that it should be in every library!

Home is a rousing fanfare that features each
section of the ensemble. With exciting drive
and jazz-based interludes, the piece cascades

close of a concert. (2:55)

Slava!—Leonard Bernstein/arr. Robert
Longfield. The transcription of this exuberant
overture has become a staple of band
repertoire and is a proven programming
favorite. Constructed using two contrasting
themes that combine near the end, this careful
adaptation puts it at a more approachable
grade level yet still retains the energy and
authenticity of the original.

Sleep—Eric Whitacre. Take a serious look
at this one! Eric Whitacre has crafted an
achingly beautiful work, magnificent in its
broad, sweeping lines and layering of sound.
This haunting chorale begins softly and slowly
blossoms to a powerful climax. It makes a
fine stand-alone band piece, but can also be
performed with SATB chorus, with original text
by celebrated American poet Charles Anthony
Silvestri. This is a superior choice for creating an
intimate moment in your concert performance.

Solas Ane (Yesterday's Joy)—Samuel
Hazo. With a unique blend of flowing lines
and lush textures coupled with dynamic Celtic
drumming, this musical creation is a very
stylized and effective setting for wind band.
Interspersed are quiet moments with soloistic
woodwind lines that contrast nicely with the
emotional full-band passages.
10022282 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .80.00
Some treasures are heavy with human
tears—John Mackey. The story of this work
begins with a tragedy, but that's not where it
ends. Although it commemorates a specific
catastrophe, the piece is not programmatic.
Instead, it's a meditation on grief, transcending
elegizing a singular horrific event and instead
representing how we cope with all tragedies.
Beginning with the peacefulness of a lullaby,
the piece takes a simple motive and transports
it through a series of emotions that include
denial, shock, fury, and anguish before finding
acceptance. Throughout, conflicting harmonies
present an internal turbulence that peaks in a
climactic wail of agony bordering on rage.
Although the ending projects a return to peace,
it is left incomplete with the final gesture of a
single muted trumpet rising from the silence in
a bright flash only to be suddenly extinguished.

Loving Hannah.

Southern Hymn—Samuel R. Hazo. The
original themes used in this beautiful setting
are intended to be played in the style of a
slow Southern folk hymn, similar to Amazing
Grace or Shenandoah. Using suspensions
and resolutions as well as calm moments and
powerfully emotional builds, this is a marvelous
work for expanding your ensemble's stylistic
and dynamic range.
