l Postcard from EnglandRobert Buckley.
Take a brisk trek across the English countryside,
with its gently rolling hills, thatched cottages,
stately homes, castles and cathedrals. The
catchy "walking theme" features the low brass,
percussion and woodwinds while the elegant
"stately theme" is reminiscent of the British brass
band sound, featuring every section of the band.
Tuneful and descriptive, it will take your audience
on a scenic tour of this historic and charming part
of the world!

n Prairie SongsPierre La Plante. From the
composer of American Riversongs comes this
accomplished concert work based on two mid-
western folk tunes. Ranging from beautifully
plaintive to exuberantly rustic, the piece achieves
a great deal musically without being technically
difficult. An excellent audience pleaser, too!

The Promise of LivingAaron Copland/arr.
Curnow. This classic Copland work has been
skillfully adapted for younger players while
maintaining the integrity of the original. Solo lines
and chamber-like playing are beautifully offset
with rich, full ensemble passages. A marvelous
addition to the repertoire of classic adaptations
for young bands.

l PropulsionRobert Buckley. With driving
percussion, high-energy rhythms, dynamic
melodies and an overall sense of excitement,
Propulsion moves through different musical
moods without ever losing its relentless pulse. A
tour-de-force for all members of the band and an
exhilarating concert opener!

PulsationRichard L. Saucedo. Definitely an
enjoyable work that's off the beaten path! Written
entirely in one tempo, the meter alternates between
4/4 and 6/8 throughout, creating an ingenious effect
of pulsating motion along with layers of textures and
sounds. Starting with a soloistic dialogue between
flute and clarinet, the work progresses to thicker
sonorities and thrilling percussive effects including
clapping and shouting.

Quad City StompMichael Sweeney. Combine
an aggressive percussion undercurrent with
powerful riffs, clapping, stomping and other noisy
effects, and you have a marvelous extravaganza
of sound sure to be enjoyed by players and
listeners alike. A slower, yet emotionally-charged
middle section provides contrast before a Celtic-
influenced final segment drives to a rhythmic and
dynamic finish.

l QuasarWilliam Owens. This thrilling and
adrenaline-charged work depicts a quasar, the
most intense source of light in the universe. The
boisterous opening and brisk tempo portrays the
speed of light itself, while sudden bursts of sound
mix with lingering dissonant clusters to characterize
unpredictable discharges of light and radiation. A
serene, slow section offers a glimpse into a distant
universe before the music becomes more powerful,
driving to a fiery finish. Outstanding!

RageRandall Standridge. Give your students
something to shout about, literally, with this powerful
work. Written to explore the musical representations
of fury, anger, and destructive forces, musicians
will experience the artistic side of performance, not
just technically perform the piece. Passionate and
thrilling, it's an outstanding composition.

n RainBrian Balmages. A soft, gentle rain can
conjure many different emotions. This expressive
piece brings a sense of calm, as well as a touch of
sadness, through the melodic and harmonic lines.
An excellent work to give your band experience
playing with sensitivity and feeling.

4 The Red Covered BridgeRobert Sheldon. A
red covered bridge is a local attraction in Priceton,
Illinois, that served as the inspiration for this lyrical
composition. The serene setting brings to mind
the many people who have crossed that bridge
in simpler times, and the stories of their lives.
This piece hopes to capture those moments of
reflection, joy, children playing, and powerful
moments of resolve.

4 RemembranceLarry Daehn. Here is a
beautiful "In Memoriam" piece reminiscent of
the composer's A Song for Friends. A gorgeous
3/4 melody emerges from the low voices, is
joined by an ethereal woodwind choir, develops
into a majestic, noble utterance, and then fades
into quietness. The perfect choice to remember
someone in your school or community.

l Renaissance Dance FeverSusato & Gervaise/
arr. Kenneth Singleton. Following in the footsteps
of his renaissance dance suites, "A Renaissance
Festival" and "A Renaissance Revel," the arranger
has assembled another sterling collection of
renaissance masterpieces for the modern concert
band. This collection draws from collections of
dance music first published in the 1500's, and all
of the music is authentic to the original sources.
The arranger's additions include dynamics, tempi
and articulations in order to encourage the most
exciting performance possible.

4 Revenge of the SwarmLarry 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.

n ReverberationsBrian Balmages. This explosive
short concert fanfare explores various sounds as
they echo throughout the ensemble. Based entirely
on a two-note motif, the music makes use of
minimalist techniques while adding fanfare themes
and an extensive percussion backdrop. The end
of the work reverses the direction of the motif as
the woodwinds echo each other while the brass
present the final powerful statements. An incredible
contemporary opener!

H RhosymedreRalph Vaughan Williams/arr.
Beeler. Also known by the title Lovely, this popular
organ prelude, arranged for band by Walter Beeler,
is remarkable in its simple beauty. Vaughan
Williams has joined hymn tune, bass and obbligato
to create a grand, soaring piece, and it is so
perfectly suited for concert band.

n Rhythms and RiffsBrian Balmages. The title
of the piece says it all! This refreshing composition
is based entirely on different rhythms and melodic
riffs. The syncopated figures and close harmonies
give it a slight rock feel without detracting from the
seriousness of the piece. Sure to add a breath of
fresh air to any concert!

wild whitewater ride that can only be described as
both intense and exhilarating. Dramatic percussion
writing coupled with exciting wind parts is an
integral part of why this piece will seem to come
alive and seem like a real-life experience. Hold on
tight and be prepared for the audience to jump to
their feet immediately following the breathtaking
finish. Truly exciting!

n Rivers (Movement II of "Georgian Suite")
Samuel Hazo. This poignant composition uses the
analogy of a river that, when divided, maintains its
identity, yet becomes two separate entities. Three
themes, each representing a different branch of
one river, are presented individually then come
together in splendid fashion at the end. Very
tenderly written.

l RiverwindCarl Strommen. Written in memory of
a good friend and colleague, the opening poignant
melody is introduced quietly, growing and building
to a bold climax, followed in contrast by a cheerful
and uplifting musical section bubbling with vitality.
The final section is majestic and broad, making a
decidedly strong finish to this enjoyable work.

Romp!Darren W. Jenkins. The title says it
all when describing this freewheeling and lively
musical jaunt. Up-tempo throughout, it's an active
piece that will keep everyone busy with parts that
sound much harder than they are. Inspired by the
composer's cat, the music springs into action,
darting about here and there, quickly shifting gears
but never really slowing to catch its breath. There's
even an optional "cat meowing sound" at the end
for the purr-fect touch.

Mouret/arr. Scott Stanton. This popular classical
title has been a favorite of instrumentalists for
years, and now bands with limited or severe
instrumentation issues can successfully perform
this standard in classical literature. As usual with
this series, optional parts for piano and percussion
are also included.

4 RuckusRandall Standridge. The dictionary
defines "ruckus" as a noisy commotion, fracas or
rumpus and this very original work is just that. Loud,
boisterous, aggressive and mixed meter, heavy
percussion and thumping rhythm give this piece a
decidedly urban feel. No doubt your students will be
musically entranced by this powerfully rhythmic, yet
sophisticated work.

l RushmoreDavid Bobrowitz. A powerful
dedicatory theme of brass and percussion opens
this brilliant tribute to the magnificent granite
monument in South Dakota, and the music
builds from start to finish. Harmonic and rhythmic
excitement abound in this patriotic showpiece for
young musicians!

the chorale from Act III of "Die Meistersinger" by

standard in the literature for concert band and is
certain to remain one for many years.

A stunning concert opener! A simple thematic
statement from the trumpets (or optional solo

theme continues to rise, as does the excitement,
culminating in a thoroughly triumphant conclusion.

choice for either concert or contest!
