of nature. Your students will transport

Airs in Flux—Clare Howard. A musical
exploration of the emotions that life-
altering decisions evoke: it's not a grand
statement, but a humble journey into the
heart of these pivotal moments. The shifting
harmonies and fluttering wind sections
in the piece are less about spectacle and
more about mirroring the very human
feeling of uncertainty we often face at
such crossroads. These elements echo
the changing perspectives, questions, and
considerations that naturally arise during
these crucial times. Cinematic and very
tuneful, this is playable by a good high
school band.

and Latin fanfares, this work showcases
skillful use of instrumentation, including the
vibrant tambourine!

purpose and hope.

of life, and love of music.

American Barndance—Richard L.
Saucedo. Rhythmic and energetic, this
lively work contains elements of an
early American character that features a

statement by the full ensemble, it then
becomes more frenzied with mixed meters

an exciting conclusion. Filled with humor
and creativity, this unique work will easily
find a place in contest or festival repertoire.

COLUMBIA, GEM

in the Trio.

staple in orchestra and band repertoire

Anti Hero—Paul De Cinque. Everyone
loves a hero - but let's admit it, we also
have a soft spot for an antihero! Whether it's
Snape from "Harry Potter," Jack Sparrow
from "Pirates of the Caribbean," Batman, or
even Shrek, there's something captivating
about characters who don't fit the traditional
mold of a hero. Celebrate these complex
and unexpected saviors with music that
hints at heroism but carries a twist, reflecting
their unique and unconventional journeys.
Sit back and enjoy as your antihero steps
up to save the day on their own terms!
11624806 Band Set & Score. . . . .100.00

force of the full ensemble, culminating with
Copland's signature setting of Simple Gifts.
A wonderful opportunity for band members
and their audiences to enjoy this beloved
music from one of America's pre-eminent
composers.

Arabian Dances—Brian Balmages.
Explore Middle Eastern sounds with this
work that combines authentic traditional
melodies and rhythms with original music.
After a haunting opening, authentic Middle
Eastern percussion instruments create the
groove that accompanies the folk song
Ala Dal'ona. As the orchestration builds,
original themes are intertwined before the
percussion ensemble becomes the focus
of the third section. The final melody, Tafta
Hindi, develops until it morphs into an
ostinato over a magnificent presentation of
the original theme that is found throughout
the work. A riveting ending brings this
thrilling work to a dynamic close!
