Fiddlin' Around—Greg Danner. A medley
of four old-time fiddle tunes: The Arkansas
Traveler; Old Joe Clark; Wildwood Flower
and Cotton-Eyed Joe. These wonderful
melodies are at the heart of American folk
music. You've heard them played on the
fiddle, banjo, and string bands, and they've
been covered by artists ranging from the
Carter Family to Jack Black. Now four of
these tunes come together in this exciting
arrangement for concert band.

Havana Nights: El Fuego de la Noche—
Randall Standridge. Driven by the vibrant
pulse of the mambo, this upbeat selection
captures the energy of a late-night scene
in a bustling jazz club and brings it to
your concert band. Syncopated dance
rhythms, infectious percussion grooves,
and playful melodic writing ignite the music
with nonstop motion and color. Stylish
and rhythmically charged throughout, it
delivers flair, excitement, and irresistible
momentum, making it a lively concert or
festival feature.

Havana Nights—Randall D. Standridge.
Mambo rhythms and exciting melodies
unite in this "ballet" for wind ensemble.
Catchy rhythms, colorful percussion, and a
distinct dance feel engage performers and
audience alike. Great for conductors looking
for something outside the norm.

Like a River (based on Peace Like a River)
—arr. Robert Sheldon. Flowing lyricism
opens this setting of Peace Like a River
for concert band that unfolds through
several distinct styles. The lush passages
give way to a New Orleans-style jazz
march with featured clarinet, trumpet, and
trombone solos, then evolve again into full
big-band swing. Frequent key changes and
stylistic shifts demand mature listening and
control. A thoughtful high school selection
for ensembles ready to explore stylistic
transformation while maintaining expressive
depth across a single, unifying theme.

Menorcan Dances—Martin Ellerby. Three
compact movements following a traditional
fast-slow-fast structure. Although the
movement titles are taken from Spanish
dance forms – Fandango, Bolero and Jota –
they are far from strict in interpretation, each
taking the traditional essence as a starting
point and playing rhythmic and melodic
games with the styles thereafter. Much use
is made of regionally suggestive percussion
instruments plus an optional harp.

Simple Gifts—Joseph Brackett/arr. Noah
D. Taylor. A burst of energy drives this
advanced arrangement, transformed from
a gentle folk tune into a vibrant fanfare-
like concert opener with patriotic color.
Woodwind runs and fast triplet flourishes
add sparkle, while soaring brass melodies
give the piece dramatic lift. Additional parts
for piano and harp broaden the scope of the
music, making this short work feel rich and
full. It's an ideal concert opener for strong
advanced bands looking for something
familiar yet boldly reimagined.
