Second Suite in F—Gustav Holst/arr.
Colin Matthews. Written in 1905, this
exceptional suite, based on English
folk songs, is every bit as important
and masterful as Holst's First Suite in E
Flat. Together, these two works provide
critically important cornerstones for any
good band library.

Symphonic Stories—Chris M. Bernotas.
Music often tells a story; in this piece, each
melodic line represents this idea. As the
melodic lines weave together, it is the telling
of a story that includes feelings of reflection,
thought, and, of course, happiness and joy.
Each musical story is personal. as music
impacts us all differently. The work starts
with a reflective section filled with emotion
and solo opportunities; it then weaves
seamlessly into a 12/8 section filled with
joy and an infectious melodic line. Every
section of the band has important and
engaging parts that are appropriately
challenging. (5:10)

Tarantella—Carol Brittin Chambers. Lively
and bouncy, this original work is written
primarily in 6/8. The parts are written
with great attention to the idiosyncrasies
of the individual instruments, which not
only aids considerably with the technical
demands but also makes for a wonderful
overall sound. The cleverly inserted heavy
swinging quote of The Itsy Bitsy Spider is
one for the books!

To the Stars—Kyle Wernke. A love letter to
the music of Star Trek. There are obvious
nods to moments in Jerry Goldsmith's
"Star Trek: The Motion Picture" and James

The Trace—Robert Sheldon. The glorious
melodies of The Trace, by Robert Sheldon,
draw inspiration from the beautiful Natchez
Trace Parkway, which ends at the
Mississippi River. Bursts of harmonic colors

Urban Dances—Erik Morales. Rhythm
is the key element of this vibrant and
contemporary piece which incorporates
many of the rhythms found in today's
popular music. The melodic and thematic
elements, while important, play a supportive
and secondary role. In many instances the
thematic material floats over the rhythmic
pulse creating a double time feel. It's lively
and persistent throughout with very active
and involved percussion.

Volo Volare—Noah Hudson-Camack.
"Volo", (the v is pronounced with a "w"
sound in classical Latin) is a homonym
for two different verbs in Latin: volo, velle
meaning to want and volo, volare meaning
to fly. This means the title can be translated
in two ways, "I want to fly" and "I fly, to fly".
Both statements are autobiographical of this
piece and my mindset at the time of writing
it. I had just graduated high school when
I began this piece in 2020 with any future
career in music being a great unknown. The
four note main motive came to me on one
of many walks taken to shake off pandemic
induced cabin fever, and I soon got to
work sketching a larger piece. I looked to
capture the excitement I had for creation,
the aspirations of a future in writing music
tempered by trepidation. The slow theme
heard at the beginning represented hope
and longing for artistic success, that four-
note motive the joy and act of creation,
and the chaotic chromatic theme as the
creeping in of doubt. The final product
was a sonic storyboard of sorts, one could
imagine a character cartoonishly oscillating
between careful planning, frenzied
invention, and destructive failure. No matter
an audience interpretation, I hope that the
uninhibited joy and excitement of the piece
is apparent. "I want to fly", I create because
I dream of a better me, a better artist. "I fly,
to fly", I create because I love creating.

of Wilfred Owen's powerful poetry from

balances the darker undertones of war with
a profound sense of gentleness and beauty.

legend of twin sisters born in Germany in
1588. Starting with a Gregorian chant motif,
all manner of musical sorcery is used to
represent the turbulent lives of these vastly
misunderstood women. Steven Reineke
brings us yet another fascinating work of
lasting popularity.

Till We Meet Again, this powerful work
