n Foundry—John Mackey. The first piece for band
at this grade level by this popular and most creative
composer. The concept of this fascinating work is to
introduce percussionists to the idea that there are
more imaginative ways to perform other than with
the traditional percussion instruments. Using "found"
percussion instruments in addition to creative wind
parts, the piece creates a life of its own to the delight
of musicians and audiences!

4 Groove Music—Brian Balmages. As suggested in its
title, Groove Music is a work that focuses on various
combinations of rhythms. The first section introduces
the groove, layering instruments and changing
textures. A thicker, more playful groove is introduced
in the second section. Both ideas come together in
the final section, concluding with a spectacular wall
of color and rhythm!

n Joy—Frank Ticheli. The feeling of simple, unabashed
joy is expressed throughout this entire work. There is
the frequent presence of sudden and dramatic stylistic
contrasts, as well as several climactic moments.
A final reminder of the main tune is shouted out in
octaves, bringing the piece to an exuberant finish.

n Lux Aurumque—Eric Whitacre. Based on one of
Whitacre's most popular choral works, Lux Aurumque,
here is an extraordinarily lush and poignant adaptation
transcribed for concert band. Gorgeous, simple
triads melt from one chord to the next, creating a
slowly evolving wash of colors and light. Elegantly
orchestrated, this is a profoundly moving experience
for players and audiences alike.

Mountain Thyme—Samuel R. Hazo. Written as a
musical memorial, this beautifully emotional setting
is a reworking of the traditional folk song The Braes
of Baquhidder, also known as Wild Mountain Thyme,
by Scottish writer Robert Tannahill. With a varied
tapestry of colors, textures and dynamics, this
stunning musical work takes full advantage of the
depth and power of the modern wind band.

4 New Era Fanfare—Randall Standridge. Start your
next concert off with this edgy fanfare. The distinctive
syncopated melody engages the audiences as it
propels the music along. Adding to the texture is
the creative use of synthesizer. This opener is a sure
winner!

4 Night on Fire—John Mackey. This second
movement from the suite The Soul Has Many Motions
has a raw and brutal nature that will definitely stand
out on any program. The exotic and at times savage
sounds suggest wild dancing around a nomadic camp
fire, complete with tambourine, multiple hand drums
and harsh, biting winds. The harsh and aggressive
nature of the work is sure to deliver an impact not
soon forgotten!

H October—Eric Whitacre. This rich serenade is full of
beautiful melodies and warm harmonies. The solos for
oboe and baritone add wonderful color to the work
as well. This is a gorgeous piece appropriate for any
concert setting.

n Rest—Frank Ticheli. A lyric and moving adaptation
of an earlier SATB choral work, There Will Be Rest.
In creating this setting, the harmony, dynamics and
registration of the original have been preserved,
allowing the fragile beauty and quiet dignity to be
maintained. And while the concert band is faithful
to the choral, certain aspects have been enhanced
which keeps it independent, having its own strengths
and unique qualities.

n The Seal Lullaby—Eric Whitacre. This loving and
dreamlike work captures the undulating rhythm of
a mother rocking her child to sleep. The piece was
inspired by the classic Rudyard Kipling poem "White
Seal." Magical!

4 Shadows Unleashed—Brian Balmages. The dark
and mischievous world of shadows is painted in a
vivid musical picture. The flutes ominously introduce
the shadow theme, which develops into a ritualistic
dance. Erupting out of the darkness, the driving
music continues feeding on itself as it moves to a
dramatic finish.

n Sheltering Sky—John Mackey. A delicate
and sensitive work that creates an atmosphere
of calm and repose. Gently cascading lines
seemingly float over colorful harmonies as flowing
melodies create a sense of forward motion.
A wonderful addition to the repertoire, readily
accessible and immensely pleasing.

n Undertow—John Mackey. A flash of musical lightning
that will exhilarate listeners at all levels! An infectious
rhythmic pulse is created with alternating 4/4 and
7/8 measures that drives the work forward from start
to finish. Active percussion parts add to the overall
appeal of this lively and very creative work!

l Yankee Fanfare—Travis J. Weller. Imaginative,
crisp scoring and a constant rhythmic drive
energetically propel this fresh new take on
Yankee Doodle from start to finish. Your students
will rally around this stirring, very fun setting
that features mixed meters and engaging parts
for all instruments. You'll find it works equally
well as a thrilling attention-getting opener
or bring down the house closer!
