Elements (Petite Symphony)—Brian
Balmages. Four short movements make
up this "petite symphony" constructed
in the same form as the elements of a
traditional symphony: Allegro non troppo;
Largo; Scherzo and Allegro vivace. Each
movement also refers to an element of
nature. Movement 1, Air, is light and
breathy, made up mostly of staccato notes.
Water, the second movement, ripples and
flows softly and gently. An homage to
Holst's The Planets can be heard in Earth,
the third movement. The piece concludes in
an intense inferno with Fire. A powerful and
cleverly composed piece!

Enthusiastic (A piece of flourishing music)
—Hermann Pallhuber. A celebratory hymn-
like piece for intermediate concert band
conveys a sense of grandeur, excitement,
and beauty, enriched with dynamic
crescendos, lively rhythms, lush harmonies,
and tonal colors. The piece opens in the
style of a hymn-like march, transitioning
into a noble melody characterized by soft
sonorous tones. A gradual intensification of
the musical palette leads back to the initial
theme before all elements converge in a
powerful and memorable finale.

Entranced—Raymond Sifuentes.
Flamenco-inspired rhythms and harmonies
shape this bold Grade 3 concert band
work that feels dramatic yet firmly rooted
in traditional concert writing. Layered
duple and triple rhythmic figures, frequent
accidentals, and an active castanet part
sharpen rhythmic precision and stylistic
awareness. Contrasting intensity and
reflection give the music emotional depth,
creating a compelling choice for high
school groups ready to explore rhythmic
complexity and color while maintaining a
mature concert sound.

Evergreen—Viet Cuong. After years
of reflection on the loss of a father, this
wistful yet exuberant work is a tribute to
the constants in our lives, the steadfast
forces from which we draw love, energy,
and resilience. In this sense, it serves as
a companion piece or foil to Deciduous,
written while the pain was still fresh. While
loss may lead us to initially fixate on what
is gone, remembering what remains - what
has always been there, and what will
continue to be - helps us move forward.

single tempo, alternating between rhythmic
motifs and soaring melodic lines that
pass fluidly through the ensemble. Rich
harmonies, orchestral textures, and colorful
scoring lend a cinematic elegance, making
it both musically rewarding and emotionally
resonant. Suitable for high school and
university ensembles, this stands as a
tribute to the light we bring into each other's
lives - briefly shared but long remembered.

effective closer with plenty to teach at the
high school level.

Finale from Symphony No. 2—Gustav

reverence shape this medium-level concert
band arrangement of the final moments
from Mahler's Second Symphony.
Expansive chorale writing preserves much
of the original's complexity and weight,
creating a sense of arrival and resonance.
The density demands strong control and
focus from the ensemble. A valuable
concert option, it's a faithful adaptation of a
cornerstone of orchestral literature.
