H Lord of the RingsJohan de Meij/arr.
Lavender. Until now, De Meij's award-winning
symphony for band has been out of the reach of
most students. But after close consultation with
the composer, Paul Lavender has masterfully
adapted and condensed three of the original
five movements into a practical concert version
your band can play! It includes a more standard
instrumentation and optional cuts allowing for
several performance lengths. Experience first-
hand the power and depth of this exciting music
inspired by the book "Lord Of The Rings" as
perceived by one of Europe's finest composers!

4 LudlowRoland Barrett. The tragic events
involving organized labor, known as the Ludlow
massacre of 1914, served as the catalyst for
this original epic work. Opening with the building
of tension between factions, the intense and
contemporary work then depicts the fourteen hour
battle and its aftermath, concluding with a musical
statement of hope and resolution.

n Lux AurumqueEric Whitacre. Based on one
of Whitacre's most popular choral works, Lux
Aurumque, here is an extraordinarily lush and
poignant adaptation transcribed for concert band.
Gorgeous, simple triads melt from one chord to
the next, creating a slowly evolving wash of
colors and light. Elegantly orchestrated, this is
a profoundly moving experience for players and
audiences alike.

l Lyric Variations on Slanearr. David Williams.
This Irish folk song known as The Banks of
the Bann, was turned into a hymn tune in the
twentieth century. Beginning with the theme in the
woodwinds, this is followed by the first variation,
warm with rich harmonies, presented by the brass.
An ethereal variation follows with harmonies built
in blocks by winds and brass. The final variation
leads off with the glockenspiel, marimba, and
chimes, braced by tenor drum and a choir of flutes.
Recalling the harmonies of the final variation, the
coda then ends with a halo of flutes, clarinets, and
mallet percussion.

n Mars (from "The Planets")Gustav Holst/arr.
Owens. This exceptional arrangement captures all
the raw power and intensity of the first movement
of "The Planets" by Gustav Holst. Shortened to be
more accessible to younger groups, this version
uses clever orchestrating techniques to retain all the
fire of the original. At times, you will think you are
listening to the original version. Simply outstanding!

n MekongRobert W. Smith. A highly
recommended emotionally moving tribute to
military veterans of the Vietnam War. Mekong
is a river that flows through the heart of Vietnam
and this composition reflects its historic
significance during the war. Hauntingly beautiful
melodies, lush and dissonant harmonies and
acoustically created sound effects provide a
memorable and unique concert performance
experience. Electrifying!

l Minimalist DancesMatt Conaway. This unique
work for advanced ensembles explores three
fundamental minimalist approaches, but through
the lens of very atypical styles. Influenced by the
masterworks of Glass, Riley, and Adams, the
composer uses a limited melodic/rhythmic palette
to maximum effect, even including a rock-inspired
shout section that leads to the furious conclusion.

l MomentumChris M. Bernotas. A strong
percussion statement contributes to the joyous,
celebratory feel of this driving work. The pulse
is intense and the anticipation is evident with
syncopation, powerful brass, and impressive
technical lines that lead to many highs and lows
before the final resolution. The music is always
moving forward, transporting the audience along a
seemingly non-stop journey they won't want to end.

n Morning, Noon and Night in ViennaFranz
von Suppe/Fillmore/Foster. This classic overture
by Franz von Suppe is equally at home on the
opera stage, concert stage or even in an animated
cartoon! The original transcription by Henry Fillmore
has enjoyed immense popularity, even crossing
over into some wonderful animated features. Robert
Foster offers this authentic edition that maintains
the wonderful quality and integrity of Fillmore's
transcription.

A truly unique concert opener, this dark, intense
fanfare is not for the faint of heart. It is in 3/4, but
conducted in a brisk one, making it a challenging
work for every player in the band. With each
passing measure the audience will be riveted to
every note, and will want to hear more once the
piece comes to an exhilarating climax!

Mountain ThymeSamuel R. Hazo. Written

setting is a reworking of the traditional folk song The
Braes of Baquhidder, also known as Wild Mountain
Thyme, by Scottish writer Robert Tannahill. With a
varied tapestry of colors, textures and dynamics,
this stunning musical work takes full advantage of
the depth and power of the modern wind band.

NemesisGary D. Ziek. Highly volatile and
remarkably intense, this is the just the type of
attention grabber you'll want to include on your
next concert. Named for the god of vengeance and
retribution in Greek mythology, this work projects
a powerful feeling of growing suspense and
impending drama. Draw the listener in with this

n Night on FireJohn Mackey. This second
movement from the suite The Soul Has Many
Motions has a raw and brutal nature that will
definitely stand out on any program. The exotic
and at times savage sounds suggest wild dancing
around a nomadic camp fire, complete with
tambourine, multiple hand drums and harsh, biting
winds. The harsh and aggressive nature of the work
is sure to deliver an impact not soon forgotten!

n Noisy Wheels of JoyEric Whitacre. Raucous
and breathtaking, this overture by Eric
Whitacre will make a memorable opening for
any concert! It's far from the ordinary overture
fare; you'll thoroughly enjoy the unexpected
melodic twists and turns so brilliantly intertwined
with more traditional, lyrical themes. The
overall effect is jubilant, somewhat quirky, but
ultimately delightful!

H
Novo LenioSamuel Hazo. This is a Samuel
Hazo's National Band Association award-winning
composition, a continuous three-movement work that
offers various styles and much to keep your interest.
Based on a school alma mater, the sections are varied
in mood yet cohesive in thematic material. The first
movement, Remembrance, is somewhat somber in
tone; the second movement Qui Non Proficit Deficit
is more dissonant; and the final movement A New
Beginning is meant to sound full and proud.
