create added interest.

ScrambleTodd Stalter. A tumultuous
concert opener or closer intended to depict two
characteristics of the title, the frantic collecting
of things together in a disorderly way, and
darting about quickly with a sense of urgency.
Once the theme is presented the fun really
starts! The action revs up as the musical "parts"
are separated and combined in unique and
haphazard combinations, all at break-neck speed
that will leave everyone breathless!

H SedonaSteven Reineke. Don't miss this
distinctive composition! Having has had several
wonderful pieces published already, this successful
composer has captured in musical ideas the natural
landscape of mountains and wide open spaces,
and uses them to paint a musical canvas that is
at once bold, entertaining, and filled with life. A
short, memorable theme runs throughout the work,
showing up in a delicate flute solo, an intricate
woodwind fugue, a warm trombone solo, and a
bold, triadic trumpet statement that will pick you
up right out of your seat. A marvelous piece that we
highly recommend to all bands!

4 Shock WaveGary D. Ziek. Driven by a constant
sense of propulsion and rippling waves of motion,
this piece is aptly titled. The initial shock is provided
by the percussion, leading to a tension filled
section with multiple layers of sound scattered
throughout the ensemble. Each new entrance is
accompanied by solo percussion, building musical
pressure to a frenzied, swirling conclusion with the
percussion providing one final "aftershock" for a
resounding finish.

n Short Ride in a Fast MachineJohn Adams/
arr. Saucedo. Composed in 1986, this fast-paced
and dynamic work took the symphonic world by
storm. Available here in a playable setting for
school ensembles, Richard Saucedo transposed
the key down a third from the original and
skillfully adapted some of the more complicated
rhythmic patterns without sacrificing any of the
excitement and drive. A wonderful introduction to
"minimalist" music and one of America's treasured
contemporary composers.

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.

dream. Stunning!

levels, it retains the sophistication of a much more
difficult work.

offers plenty of opportunities for solos: flute, alto
saxophone, trumpet, bassoon (bass clarinet), snare
drum, xylophone and temple blocks. And every
section gets to play most of the tunes!

4 StarlightDavid Gorham. Display a broad
pallet of sonic colors in your concert hall. A light
and spritely opening evokes images of
darkening night skies as one by one the stars
appear. Soon, as with the ever growing stars,
the instrumentation grows into an expansive
landscape, filling the halls with sounds as
colorful and full as a clear starry night. Then,
just as it started, the sounds begin to fall off,
gradually fading out just as the stars before the
approaching day. Stunningly beautiful!

n Strange HumorsJohn Mackey. Modal
melodies and syncopated rhythms of Middle
Eastern music with percussive African drumming
bring about a striking blend of musical cultures.
The central focus is the pulse of the djembe, an
hourglass-shaped drum played with bare hands
that's a cultural instrument of West African
countries. The groove of the djembe combined
with quirky rhythms throughout create an
impression not soon forgotten.
