elements players and conductors love:
excitement, bold sounds, and interesting
harmonies; yet, it avoids the pitfalls that

and asymmetric rhythms, phrases too
long for the students to navigate, and
intricate articulations.

Sway—Ed Windels. Sway began life as
the second movement of my Incidentally
Music for flute, clarinet, guitar, violin and
cello, premiered in 2010. That piece was an
exploration of dance or dance-like forms of
Latin heritage. Sway is not a specific dance
form, but generally inspired by the genre.
During the early spring of 2022, it occurred
to me that it would translate well to concert
band, allowing me to explore coloristic
possibilities and add some extra rhythmic
interest to the main melody.

Symphonic Mountain Fantasy (for
Concert Band)—Trenton Rhodes. The
genesis for Symphonic Mountain Fantasy
was the idea of writing a piece with a
smaller reduced instrumentation but at a
higher grade level. The result is a work that
is derived mainly from a singular melody
presented in the beginning, taking it to
completely different places and tonalities
throughout the entirety of the work. The
melody rises and falls in ways that resemble
mountainous terrain far in the distance,
which is where the title originates from. This
piece was chosen as the winner of the 2025
Association of Concert Bands/John Phillip
Sousa Foundation Composition Contest. –

The Eagle's Quest—Philip Sparke.
Commissioned to mark the 400th

captain, and later a vice admiral. His Dutch
name Adelaer means "eagle." This work
celebrates his life but is not programmatic,
simply reflecting the town of Brevik's pride
in one of its most famous sons. Toward the
end of the piece there is a brief quotation
from the town song Brevikssangen for a
fitting and captivating conclusion.

Whenever hikers got lost in the fog at the

tears. It was only when lost girl thanked
her for her help that Ursula was redeemed
from her curse and found peace. The girl
had a shrine for Ursula erected at the site
of her rescue.

Tirelessly through the Night...—William
Owens. William Owens' powerful,
programmatic work, Tirelessly through
the Night..., is a musical depiction of
the explosion that ravaged a small
Texas community. Beginning softly and
hauntingly, the "Foreboding" gradually
intensifies as the destructive "Crisis" chaos
ensues. The "Aftermath" and "Regenesis"
segments offer hope and reassurance
in the wake of tragedy. Serious music for
serious ensembles! (4:00)
