Seconds OutSamuel R. Hazo. In boxing,
the term "seconds out" refers to the moment
when coaches and trainers must be out of the
ring, leaving the competitors alone to face the
competition. In a similar vein, this composition
provides a musical description of the challenges
and triumphs of students as they transition from
middle to high school, leaving their "seconds"
(parents, mentors, etc.) behind to face life on
their own terms. Featuring a strong sense of
urgency, it is solidly written for inexperienced
ensembles with plenty of tutti scoring, and
sections of contrasting dynamics and effective
percussion writing.

n ShipwreckedRyan Nowlin. Based on
harrowing stories of shipwrecked mariners, this
dramatic piece is an event in itself. Beginning with
finger snaps portraying a rainstorm, an ominous-
sounding ostinato and active percussion tell of
a ship that is beginning to sink. To depict the
helplessness of the shipwrecked sailors, Eternal
Father Strong to Save, Nearer My God to Thee and
Ode to Joy are all heard in a hymn-like setting as
they prepare to meet their fate. The original theme
returns and fades out as the victims await rescue.
Truly a musical adventure!
