H Be Thou My Visionarr. David Gillingham. It's
not often you come across a composition that offers
the high level of musical merit needed to appeal to
directors and also offers an emotional depth able
to truly move an audience. This is such a piece.
Gillingham bases his reverent and powerful work on
the hymn tune Be Thou My Vision (also known as
the old Irish ballad Slane), with its eternal message
of faith and hope. It goes far beyond being an
arrangement of a familiar hymn tune, as Gillingham
gives moments of real drama in the shimmering
tonal colors provided by the woodwinds and the
glorious brass lines that break through like dazzling
sunlight through the clouds. It's the kind of work
you will want your band to experience. We are
proud to give this our highest recommendation!

n Benjamin Franklin and the Art of Music
Robert W. Smith. Benjamin Franklin's love of
music has been well-documented in American
history, so it's appropriate that these moments in his
amazing life are represented musically. The jovial
beginning reflects his good-natured personality,
while the delicate and ethereal sounds that follow
provide a look at his reflective nature. Franklin's
"magic squares" inspire the finale, showing the
close relationship between mathematics and
music. An amazing concept, an amazing cross-
curricular piece, an amazing individual!

to the work! The percussion writing is also extremely
effective. A strong choice for concert or contest!
