This powerful piece revolves around the theme "Stop the Violence, Show Kindness," resonating deeply with its poignant portrayal of the impact of gun violence on communities. Structured into three distinct sections, it begins with chaotic fury and destruction, transitions into solemn reflection on grief, and concludes with a triumphant call for unity and peace. Ideal for orchestras aiming to inspire reflection and action toward a safer, kinder world. 11626761 Full Orchestra Score & Parts M 80.00 The Iliad (Fall of Troy)—Soon Hee Newbold.

Colorful and imaginative scoring features every section of the symphony orchestra, resulting in a wonderfully mature-sounding yet playable tour de force for the student orchestra. 2397792 Full Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . ME 73.00 Of the Extraterrestrial Sort—Jesselyn Joy Dudinsky. Depicting an opera featuring planets, sparkling constellations, and comets blazing across the night sky, this piece offers your orchestra the opportunity to develop dramatic interpretation, even in quiet moments, with part independence and section balance. 11623567 Full Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . ME 120.00 Opening Night (for Full Orchestra or Symphonic Band)—Brian Balmages. This original Broadway-style overture is full of energy and will transport audiences to the world of musical theater.

Every instrument gets a chance to shine! A simple tune starts in the clarinets. As the melody passes through the ensemble, it grows louder before culminating in a rhythmic Americana fiddle tune that would make Copland proud. After this spirited climax, the music winds down before ending quietly with the clarinets, precisely as it began. Transparent orchestration allows students to gain experience playing in thin textures, which may be a new experience at this grade level. (2:30) 11568637 Full Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . ME 75.00 11568788 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . ME 10.00 Sighting the Swallow—Bobby Ge. The swallow is here a metaphor for constancy during a prolonged period away from home, travelling far and wide. It is a small, common bird that makes its home on every continent. Their ubiquity has made them symbols of familiarity for cultures across the globe. The piece begins inchoate and sparkling as songful horns carry the main idea. Gradually, the ensemble's swirling harmonies contract into a tightening spiral, flitting birdlike from key to key with increasing energy. Finally, the roving modulations stabilize, and the music, content, quietly returns to roost in the orchestra's highest register. 11605345 Full Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . MA 250.00 Slingshot—Michael Story. This flexible original work will provide the opportunity for an entire instrumental program to perform together.

ME 70.00 Terminus Approaching—Rossano Galante. Throughout history, humanity has feared the end of civilization, whether by natural disaster, cosmic collision, or the eventual burnout of our sun. Sweeping harmonies, soaring string lines, bold horn themes, and relentless rhythmic ostinati build an atmosphere of suspense and inevitability as we face our looming fate in this powerfully cinematic orchestral work. With its dramatic intensity and evocative scoring, this advanced piece will leave a lasting impact on performers and audiences alike. 11619625 Full Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . .
