JaRod Hall. Experience the chaotic and fast-
paced world of a mosquito swarm! Relentless
percussion combines with a buzzing motif in the

in flight. A highly engaging work!

Escapade!—Raymond Sifuentes. Set the scene
for a classic spy thriller. Our favorite secret agent
finds himself embarking on his biggest mission

and escape without being caught. Characterized
by a central theme that accompanies our main
character, humorous chromatic motifs symbolize
his blunders and alarm sounds represent triggered
booby traps. This piece provides clear storytelling
opportunities and teaching moments, including
chromatics and enharmonic spellings. Will our
protagonist successfully complete his mission?
Or will his enemies get to him first?

The Golden Age—David Marlatt. Written in the
carefree style of the music written in North America
at the turn of the 20th century; the concerts in band
shells throughout Canada and the United States
contained such popular compositional types such
as theme and variations, orchestral transcriptions,
waltzes, overtures, rags and marches. This four-
movement suite takes a typical concert at that time
and puts it all in a single multimovement work.

Irish Fantasy (based on an Irish Folk Melody)—
Davide A. Pedrazzini. Drawing inspiration from the
Irish folk melody The Road to Lisdoonvarna, this
fantasy is both characteristic and surprising, just as
the landscapes of Ireland are surprising. The majestic
opening theme brings the Dorian mode, common in
Celtic music, to the ear. Rich counterpoint includes a
fugue section where all the instruments chase each
other. A final accelerando will lead to a recapitulation
of the majestic opening. Let yourself be carried away
on this surprising Irish journey!

Jubilate!—William Owens. "Jubilate" is a Latin
word meaning "rejoice" or "feel great joy." Like
its namesake and definition, the piece conveys
feelings of joy and excitement. At the beginning, a
joyful mood is quickly established with percussion
and brass and is soon augmented by the
woodwinds. As the music progresses, changes in
mood, style, and volume are easily heard as the
piece comes to a rousing conclusion.
