O Waly, Waly (A Rhapsody for Band)Jay
Bocook. Dating from the 1600s, the folk song
O Waly, Waly (commonly known as The Water
Is Wide) forms the basis for this well-crafted
rhapsody for band. The lyrical opening section
features solos on flute and euphonium, as a four-
note motif is developed. A Celtic flavored allegro
takes over using this fragment, which leads
ultimately to a grand maestoso section for the
entire ensemble. A creative and dynamic work
for contest or festival.

l Ode to the Spirit of ManJames Curnow.
This powerful work is based on thematic material
taken from the fourth movement of Beethoven's
"Symphony No. 9" and developed into a fantasy
of kaleidoscopic nature. The opening is a joyful
expression of the spirit of freedom. Various
themes from the symphony are interwoven,
including the Alla Marcia Scherzo, Andante
maestoso and finally the uplifting Ode to Joy.

n Olympic Fanfare and ThemeJohn Williams/
arr. Curnow. When the 1984 Los Angeles
Olympic Committee commissioned John Williams
to compose their theme, it was a stroke of genius,
as it became an instant classic. This James
Curnow arrangement masterfully captures the
sound of this powerful work with an exhilarating
excursion for the brass sections and a rewarding
musical challenge for the rest of the band. Don't
miss out on the Olympic excitement!

rendered it for concert band.

friends and neighbors. The bright, energetic
and upbeat style of this good-natured piece is a
tuneful representation of this music for concert
band. Yee-haw!

finale from Act One of Copland's opera "The

n RestFrank Ticheli. A lyric and moving adaptation
of an earlier SATB choral work, There Will Be Rest.
In creating this setting, the harmony, dynamics and
registration of the original have been preserved,
allowing the fragile beauty and quiet dignity to be
maintained. And while the concert band is faithful
to the choral, certain aspects have been enhanced
which keeps it independent, having its own
strengths and unique qualities.

H River of LifeSteven Reineke. We urge you to
look at this important work! This composer is the
resident composer for the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra
and we feel that this is an incredible composition...
the highs, the lows, the development, the scoring,
the transitions, the themes...all point to a piece that
must be given a place in the band repertoire. Best
of all, is that this work will appeal on several levels,
the melodies and rhythms immediately grab you,
but on a deeper level, the composer's skill is quite
evident. Our highest recommendations!

tenacity of the human spirit and one of mankind's
greatest achievements! The epic adventure of flight
and space exploration are experienced throughout,
with main themes presented in minor keys and
asymmetric meters giving thrust and momentum

feeling a pilot has while attempting to control an
aircraft during a turbulent and bumpy flight.
