Beginning with the sound of a single clock, additional clocks seemingly come to life and join in, creating a chorus of clock effects including wind-up, grandfather and cuckoo clocks. The Dies Irae is presented throughout in various altered versions, adding to the somewhat diabolical nature of the scene. Extremely unique and inventive! 10459613 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .

This sinister-sounding march is perfect for directors looking for something completely different.

A wealth of percussion adds great color to the unsettling character of the music. Quite effective and intriguing! 10459831 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .ME 50.00 10459832 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8.00 Revenge of the Swarm—Larry Neeck. In homage to the "B movie" suspense/horror movies of the 50s and 60s, here is a fresh, unconventional, but totally entertaining work for young band. Melodic themes contrast with jagged phrases and lots of special percussion effects will create quite the "buzz." Don't get "stung" by passing up this cool programmatic piece. 10458917 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .ME 52.00 10458918 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.00 10466606 CD-Of Time and Change . . . . . . . . 14.95 Shadowlands—Gary Fagan. While the title is of a fictional place, the title evokes thoughts of a mysterious and forbidding land where dark and fearsome creatures reside. The character of this piece reflects the strange and macabre nature of this imaginary realm that could only exist in a grim, dreamlike world. 10453117 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .

E 60.00 10457111 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10.00 Unquiet Spirits—John Mackey. The third movement from "The Soul Has Many Motions," this delightful work begins quietly, like a spectre taking shape from a cloud of mist. Soon, the music begins swirling, changing to a charming, yet somewhat haunting waltz infectious with its rhythmic and lilting style. It then concludes as it began, slowly and gradually diminishing, disappearing quietly into the air. 10466620 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .M 120.00 10466621 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20.00 The Valley of Darkness—Barry E.

Zombies are all the craze, showing up in movies on television, and in this Latin original, on the dance floor. It's a clash of two worlds, the stylish and elegant tango being danced by two gruesome creatures. It's a fun selection with numerous opportunities for additional special effects and added showmanship. 10457136 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . . . E 60.00 10457137 Additional Score . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10.00 Zombie Wars—Robert E.
