n Tudor SketchesWilliam Owens. This three
movement work is based on the songs and styles
during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Hampton
Court, with its flowing dance feel, is followed by The
Queen Bess, which is relaxed and stately. Finally,
the great chase is heard in Hunting at Chobham.
Throughout all three movements there is plenty of
interplay between brass and woodwind choirs along
with stylish percussion parts.

This brilliant programmatic work begins on the
morning of the great 1868 Hawaii earthquake.
The peaceful and beautiful opening sounds soon
change as we are musically transported to the

of highest quality!

UproarMichael Oare. An impressive sounding
work for young players! Written in a driving fast
tempo, this exciting work incorporates the metric
grouping of 3+3+2 as a recurring motif. Energy
and excitement are generated by superimposing
layers of simple meter feel along with more complex
patterns while using a variety of textures and colors
within the wind and percussion sections.

moving counterpoint to create a wonderfully rich
ensemble work.

work for concert bands. Their bold visions of a new
world are reflected in the intense introduction,

Waltz No. 2 (from "Jazz Suite No. 2")Dmitri
Shostakovich/arr. Curnow. Originally scored for
symphony orchestra, Shostakovich's Jazz Suite
No. 2 is notable for the addition of saxophones,
accordion and guitar. The appealing second waltz is
in a light classical style and is wonderfully adapted
for young concert bands in this arrangement.

l Warriors of DestinyCarmen Gassi. After an
opening gong, the composition's motif is presented
by solo flute, accompanied by soft low woodwinds,
then clarinets, then tutti. The main theme, a somber
melody in Dorian mode, is first introduced in a slow
tempo, then as an agitated Allegro with aggressive
percussion. Excellent for contest or festival.

moving melody has been a favorite for hundreds
of years. This well crafted and playable setting

l What Lies Within?David Martin. The title is
taken from Ralph Waldo Emerson's quote, "What

n When the Spring Rain Begins to FallRandall
D. Standridge. Inspired by the sounds of life-giving
forces of Mother Nature, this lyrical work is truly
gorgeous. A trumpet solo, accompanied by a
masterful blend of wind and percussion sounds,
introduces the lightly syncopated melody. With
thunder rolls in the bass drum and snapping fingers
imitating the sound of rainfall, this impressionistic
work is evocative and compelling.

n Where Eagles SoarSteven Reineke. The
majesty, beauty and strength of the eagle's flight
is portrayed with sensitivity and skill in this uplifting
work! This is a simply magnificent piece that sits
on the upper side of the medium-easy level due
to some brief flourishes in the woodwind parts, but
the result is spectacular. Each section is shown in
a favorable light, with idiomatic parts that show off
what they do best. Not only would this open any
concert with distinction, but it's a natural choice to
take to festival as well. Outstanding!

4 WhiplashRandall D. Standridge. Young bands
will explore rhythmic and motivic development in a
thrilling and exciting manner. The title has a double
meaning, referring first to the breakneck tempo,
and second to the sharp report of the whip cracking
throughout the piece. All this combines to make a
thoroughly exhilarating experience for students,
conductors and audiences!

n With Every Winter's BreathRandall D.
Standridge. In this moving tribute piece, the
composer has created a breathtakingly gorgeous
band work inspired by the idea that even after
death, a person's memory can inspire, comfort, and
influence our daily lives. A poignant original melody
and Go Tell it on a Mountain are both effectively
used to memorialize Maddie Milner, a trumpet
player in the Bayfield, CO High School band, who
passed on doing what she loved in a skiing accident
her freshman year. Your students and audience will
surely get emotionally involved with every aspect of
this stunning work!

emotion from the notes. Heartfelt and beautiful!

n Within the Castle Walls (Songs of Welsh
Revolution)Brian Balmages. A collection
of Welsh tunes make up this four-movement
suite for developing bands. The first movement,
"A Mighty Warrior," is bold and brave, like the
hero it describes, with a strong Celtic feel. "Over
the Stone" is the reverent and reserved second
movement. A stately and majestic theme is
heard in Men of Harlech. The suite concludes
with Owain Glyndwr's War Song, which is a
Celtic military style march. A strong piece for any
concert program.

for all instruments. It works equally well as an
opener or a closer.

H Yorkshire BalladJames Barnes. This is
unusually nice, and can be exceptionally effective
for concert or contest! It's a very solidly scored, rich,
lyrical, lush setting of a typical English folk ballad
that contains flowing countermelodies throughout
which are of equal importance to the melody.
A perfect contrast to a bolder, more vigorous
selection, this quite playable work will present your
band in a most positive way!

n Abide with Mearr. Jay Dawson. Creative as
always, master arranger Jay Dawson brings a new
element to this beloved hymn. Interspersed with the
lovely melody are the subtle and compelling bugle

This hauntingly beautiful addition brings a unique
and emotional mood to the overall effect.

"Alice in Wonderland" books. This arrangement
for band is designed to be playable by a wide
variety of groups and is appropriate for large or

n AdagioDavid Holsinger. Composed in memory
of a departed friend, this work is an intensely
emotional synthesis of both joy and pain, the result
being a beauty touched with sadness similar to
the effect achieved by Albinoni's famous Adagio.
Also similar with that work is its large arch form,
which culminates with a broad full band statement
of the theme set against a proud counterstatement
in the horn section. On either side of the arch is
a long, expressive crescendo/decrescendo built
upon a rising bass line almost like a passacaglia.
A beautiful tribute!

players. Includes: Chateaugay Reel; The Wild
Mustard River and Ripsaw.
