n Shalom!arr. Philip Sparke. Renowned
composer Philip Sparke brings elements of the
long history of Jewish folksong to life in this
rich and varied suite for concert band! A wide
spectrum of moods are presented in the three
movements including traditional songs: V'ha'ir
Shushan; Havdala; Hanerot Halalu; Ba'olam Haba;
Mishenichnas Adar; Ani Purim and Yom Tov Lanu.
All movements together take over nine minutes to
perform, but each movement can stand alone as
well, making this appropriate for concert, contest
and holiday programs. We are proud to give this
our highest recommendation!

and sensitive work that creates an atmosphere

beauty of one of America's favorite folksongs

sonorities mark the overall design of the piece,
yet the mood easily shifts into moments of power

inherent in the song. The conductor has ample

l Shillelagh!James Meredith. The word in the
title is a wooden walking stick that Irishmen carried
as they went around their daily routine. It had many
purposes, but no matter what the use, it was always
an item of personal pride and status. In honor of this
proud symbol, familiar Irish folk songs were used as
a basis for this tuneful rhapsody.

4 Shorewood OvertureMichael Sweeney.
Shorewood Overture is designed to be performed
by multi-level bands. Rather than the typical
massed band number in which everyone plays at
once, this ingenious overture allows each level to
be featured briefly by itself, along with sections
when everyone plays together. In addition, the
Level 3 parts include cues, allowing the work to be
performed by a single ensemble. This is ideal for
district-wide festivals!

l SilverswordCarl Strommen. Inspired by
the silversword plant that grows exclusively on
Maui's dormant volcano, this composition depicts
the majesty of the beautiful landscapes with a
charming, quiet melody. A whimsical jig-like
statement sprouts from the musical material, which
then blossoms to a dramatic conclusion.

n Simple Gifts: Four Shaker Songsarr. Frank
Ticheli. In this fine four-movement work, Ticheli
pays homage to authentic Shaker music as he, in
his own words, "sought subtle ways to preserve
their simple, straightforward beauty." The work is
based on the songs: In Yonder Valley; Dance; Hear,
Take This Lovely Flower and Simple Gifts. Some of
the movements can stand alone in performance, as
your programming needs dictate.

Sky DanceRichard L. Saucedo. Using a
recurring four-note motif and a variety of textural
punctuations, here is a stunning and fresh-
sounding overture for developing bands. A slow and
lyric middle section featuring woodwind colors and
rich emotional contours provides a stark contrast to
the rhythmic intensity of the opening and closing
sections. Dramatic and powerful!

H SnakesThomas Duffy. This is an incredibly
imaginative piece that utilizes many unconventional
techniques; in fact it's an excellent way to teach
these techniques. A programmatic description of
snakes, it's a fascinating work that was designed
for younger groups, yet works as a performance
selection for high schools.

n Spit-FireWilliam Owens. Spit-Fire was written
in honor of the famed Tuskegee Airmen. This group
of brave African-Americans overcame intense racial
discrimination during World War II to train and fly
with great distinction. Over the pulse of a military
drum cadence, the work begins in a hymn-like
manner. This gradually grows to a imposing
statement as they prepare for battle. Sporadic
percussion, boisterous brass and trombone
glissandos represent the intense battle eventually
roaring to a victorious finish. Highly recommended!

n Summer Resounding!Brian Balmages. The
joyous feelings of summer are captured in this
highly spirited piece. The beautiful melodic and
harmonic lines play superbly off one another,
creating music that is both intense and charismatic.
The work is entirely in 6/8, but at varying tempos,
giving the players a chance to develop more
expression. The initial theme returns and soars to a
bold conclusion.

n Sun CyclesBrian Balmages. The essence of
the Egyptian sun god Ra is heard in this intriguing
programmatic piece. The opening section,
"Sunrise," represents the beginning of a new day.
The music becomes more vibrant as Ra is reborn
and emerges as the sun. "Journey through the
Sky," the second portion, takes the listener on Ra's
daily excursion as he flies through the sky to a lively
and dance-like theme. The music turns darker
and more subdued as Ra makes his descent into
the "Underworld." Finally the piece leads to the
"Renewal," which completes the full cycle of the
sun god's day. Captivating!

n SunburstErik Morales. Depicting the awe-
inspiring moments after a thunderstorm, this
concert overture is an exciting and dramatic work
that portrays streaks of sunlight jetting toward the
horizon. A lyrical opening sets the tone as the
clouds begin to break, and then the music takes
off in a frenzy of excitement as the sunlight breaks
through. Incredible harmonies intertwine with
dynamic fanfares and woodwind flourishes as the
work continues to develop. A lyrical section provides
a brief respite to the active rhythmic pulse before
the music takes off again, building to one last heroic
statement of the main theme. Inspirational!

exciting work is a real "winner" for concert or
contest performance.
