l Kirkland OvertureDarren Mitchell. This big,
bright overture is a worthy challenge for the very
best concert bands. Musically descriptive, the
composer was inspired to write this work during his
morning commute, complete with lots of jerky stops
and starts. In addition, snow-covered mountains
infuses the work with a breathtaking quality for what
could easily be the highlight of a musical season!

n La Procession du RocioJoaquin Turina/arr.
Reed. Although a native of Spain, while studying in
Paris early in his career, composer Joaquin Turina
was influenced by the impressionistic harmonies
of Debussy and Ravel. Once he returned to
Spain, Turina also drew inspiration from Spanish
folk music with La Procession du Rocio, which
became one of his best-known works. The music
portrays a festival and procession that takes place
in the Triana neighborhood of Seville, and is filled
with wonderful idiomatic Spanish elements. Alfred
Reed's marvelous 1962 transcription remains an
enduring keystone in the wind band repertoire.

n Liberty FanfareJohn Williams/arr. Bocook. One
hundred years after the dedication of the Statue of
Liberty in 1886, John Williams was commissioned
to compose a fanfare for the re-dedication
ceremony. At this event, Mr. Williams led the
Boston Pops Orchestra in the first performance of
this work, which the composer described as a group
of American airs and tunes of his own invention.

l Liquid CompassAlex Shapiro. Continuing in the
tradition of innovative electroacoustic band works,
this work spans the mystical and the triumphant. A
connection to the sea is conveyed through metal
bowls filled with water, and flutists will particularly
enjoy the otherworldly "ooh-wah" effect they create.
This work migrates to many places, but never loses
its bearings in pursuit of a musical true north.

H Mannin VeenHaydn Wood. Originally published
in 1933, this outstanding tone poem, based on four
folk songs from the Isle of Man, is an outstanding
addition to any band library. Beginning with a
plaintive melody in the Dorian mode, then going
into a "fiddle tune," a very lyrical melody and then
a hymn, this is a superbly written work that is most
worthy of performance.

n Mars the Bringer of War (from "The Planets")
Holst/arr. McAllister/ed. Reed. You'll command
the stage with this dramatic work! The full
woodwind and brass scoring for this work makes
this a very impressive and powerful piece. This
arrangement utilizes solo wind colors in every
section except for the clarinet and flute, which
uses a fully-balanced choir. Timpani and piano or
optional organ parts also included.

n Masque-Wind Band SetKenneth Hesketh.
Appropriately titled, Masque is a musical work of
unbridled celebration and revelry. The bold main
theme is often present, either in the forefront
or an integral part of the background. Colorful
scoring, solos for upper winds, trumpet and horn
alternating with full bodied tuttis and a dash of
wildness incite both player and listener to join in
and enjoy the festivities!

n MetalBrian Balmages. Metal may be used
as a concert opener or closer, and refers to two
different types of "metal." The first type is that
of the considerable use of metallic sounds in the
percussion section. The second inspiration actually
comes from the genre of "heavy metal." There are
several instances throughout the piece that suggest
a strong heavy metal influence. A truly unique piece
for mature ensembles.

Metroplex (Three Postcards from Manhattan)
Robert Sheldon. A dazzling view of the sites and
sounds of a dynamic city. Opening is a vision of the
tall buildings and concrete canyons of the New York
skyline, followed by an urban jazz scene in a club
in Harlem. The close is a wild taxi ride through the
heavy traffic of this fascinating city.

n Molly on the ShorePercy Grainger/arr. Rogers.
One of the most famous of the technical showpieces
for the mature band! Grainger ingeniously combines
two Cork Reels, Molly On The Shore and Temple
Hill in a setting which features Grainger's most
brilliant writing for winds. And making this edition
even more important is the full score, never before
available, which has been assembled by Mark
Rogers. Highly recommended!

A worthwhile challenge for all good bands!

H A Movement for RosaMark Camphouse.
This emotional, moving work was written to honor
Rosa Parks, whose contribution to desegregation
still stands today. Not only are strength and
determination depicted, but also the harsh realities
of the times. An important work in the repertoire.

this creative composer. Using the hymn Great Is
Thy Faithfulness as a basis, we are treated to a
variety of musical settings including a very effective
section featuring handbells. Mallet percussion can
be equally effective if handbells are not available.

work honors the memory and legacy of renowned
conductor and educator Harry Begian. In
consideration of Dr. Begian's Armenian heritage,
"Nulli Secundus" ("second to none") is a suite of
three variations based on the Armenian folk song
Cilicia (My Homeland).

n OlympiadaSamuel Hazo. An explosive
rendering of the vigor and stamina exhibited at
the Olympic Games! Opening with a tam-tam and
a fanfare of brass, the sound is big enough to fill
an arena! The low brass and the basses move this
one forward with adrenaline, and it's a great way to
showcase your percussion section, too. Relentless,
driving rhythms bring us through the struggle and
the fanfare returns, signaling the end of the struggle
and triumphant victory. Powerful!

third movement providing a sprightly, upbeat finale.

n PacificaRobert Buckley. The idea for Pacifica
came from an automobile trip down the coastal
road of the west coast of North America from
Vancouver to San Francisco. This area is alive with
stunning vistas, pristine beaches and animal life.
The composer was watching the eagles soaring
overhead and wondered what all of this would look
like from the eagle's perspective - through the eyes
of an eagle. Experience the mighty Pacific coast
from an entirely new perspective.

Prelude is built on a syncopated rhythm and

H
ParadisoRobert W. Smith. This fourth and
final movement from the composer's symphony
"The Divine Comedy" draws the symphony to
a brilliant conclusion! Full of rushing woodwind
arpeggios, gorgeous four-part horn writing and
an ethereal piano/celeste introduction, Paradiso
presents more beauty of sound and less of the
violent intensity found in the previous movements
of "The Divine Comedy."

ParkourSamuel R. Hazo. Combining brash
and aggressive rhythmic figures along with more
gentle moments and inventive textures, this
impressive work is truly a standout for advanced
bands. The piece is built around a four-note motif,
which is developed and expanded throughout.
The middle section features more of a jazzy
flavor with saxes in the spotlight accompanied
by finger snaps. The rhythmic intensity returns,
building towards a glorious full ensemble
affirmation and bringing this exciting work to a
powerful conclusion.

H PastimeJack Stamp. This musical home run
is no lightweight piece of music! Although the
composition is loosely woven around motives from
the familiar Take Me Out To The Ballgame, it's a
fascinating, intricate and entertaining concert work.
The composer has a lot of fun in the first segment
of the piece working in hidden musical "salutes"
to various baseball players, and the balance of the
work is described as a "contrapuntal tour de force."
Play ball!

n Pilatus: Mountain of DragonsSteven Reineke.
This ten-minute work, on the easy side of the
medium-advanced level, successfully conveys
the awe-inspiring grandeur of Pilatus mountain in
Switzerland. It opens with the brass slowly blowing
air through their instruments, as if to simulate the
mountain wind, or perhaps the breath of dragons!
A compelling work!

4 Purple WhispersRichard L. Saucedo. This
remarkable and descriptive work opens and

As the piece progresses, introduced by a solo
piano, the listener is taken through a dynamic
range of emotional tension and release before
the quiet mood returns to close out this uniquely
effective composition.
