4 Whitewater RunEd Kiefer. A musical adventure
that sweeps you on a harrowing ride through boiling
rapids, with plenty of twists and turns along the
way! Syncopated rhythms set the mood as you
set off, and changes in tempo and instrumentation
indicate changes in the river that you encounter
along the way. With one last burst of energy you fly
through the final run for a totally exhilarating finish
to your adventure.

l Wild FireGary P. Gilroy. This intense and
dramatic work was inspired after witnessing the
fearsome power of an out-of-control wildfire. The
music is as relentless as the spreading flames,
rapidly moving through the musical landscape.
Furious counter lines, and strong percussion,
seem to represent the valiant efforts of firefighters
to oppose the devastating inferno. You can almost
smell the smoke and feel the heat through this
vivid depiction.

Willow, WillowPercy Aldridge Grainger/arr.

an emotionally charged and intensely musical
ballad that will satisfy even the most discriminating
musical tastes.

simply fascinate us! Explore the life (if you call
that living) of these bizarre creatures through a
variety of normal and abnormal musical scenes.

4 Zombie TangoJames Meredith. Zombies are
all the craze, showing up in movies on television,
and in this Latin original, on the dance floor. It's a
clash of two worlds, the stylish and elegant tango
being danced by two gruesome creatures. It's a fun
selection with numerous opportunities for additional
special effects and added showmanship.

brings them to life - sort of - in search of their
next adventure!

Zombies Knocking On Your DoorJohn
Prescott. They're on television, they're in the
movies, so why not in your concert? Zombies are
everywhere, even knocking on your door! You lock
the door but they keep knocking; you tell them to go
away, but they just knock louder and more insistent.
How will it end? Perform this scary piece and judge
for yourself. But don't open that door!

H 1812 OvertureTchaikovsky/arr. Williams. With
this remarkable transcription your band will make a
really powerful statement! (And not just because of
the cannons!) The scoring on the opening chorale
is marvelous, transitional sections are included, and
of course the mighty finish is wondrously grand and
glorious. Mark Williams has proved to be a genius
at transcribing the classics at this level, and we
think he's done another top-notch job on this one.
This is a great arrangement that will challenge
bands at this level in a most positive manner!

n A+ (A "Precise" Prelude And an "Excellent"
March)Thomas Duffy. It's tough being a
musician! While most of the academic world
can make a mistake or two and still qualify for
the coveted A+ grade, if that happened on the
concert stage, there would be a stampede out the
door! Thomas Duffy takes a tongue-in-cheek look
at the inherent unfairness in the life of a young
musician, and gives the students "permission" to
make a couple mistakes, while still qualifying for a
top grade. The Prelude is precisely imprecise, with
harmonic material floating around at the whims of
the woodwinds. The processional-style March is
at first heard in its most excellent form, then with
the human element of error added on the repeat.
The CD-ROM included with the band set is an
incredible teaching tool that offers a teacher's
guide, warm-ups and studies, composer
interviews, program notes, midi accompaniments
which allow students to play along while controlling
the tempo and much, much more. This is a
welcome new format for student discovery in
performing concert band literature!

n AbracadabraFrank Ticheli. A sense of mystery
pervades in this piece that is at once playful and
serious, innocent and mischievous. The whole work
is almost completely derived from the opening bars
of the main theme. Sudden and frequent shifts of
mood, mode and tonality are heard throughout this
magical composition.

piece at the medium-easy level! Inventive rhythmic
motives in the brasses contrast with simple,
effective melodic lines in the woodwinds to create a

for years to come! Highly recommended!

Unique syncopated rhythms are featured
throughout this spirited original. A medium-easy
addition to the "Build-A-Band" Series makes it
playable with very small bands and bands with
severe instrumentation issues. As usual with this
series, optional parts are included for percussion
and keyboards. Extremely useful!

O'Loughlin. One of Sean O'Loughlin's most popular
pieces has been re-scored and is now available
with flexible instrumentation. It is bold, aggressive
and dynamic, containing shifting modalities and
will make any band sound top-notch. Now bands
with instrumentation issues or very small bands can

African DreamsBrant Karrick. Inspired by a
remarkable story of determination and dedication,
this selection is a musical tribute to an amazing
individual. Using scrap metal, tractor parts, and
bicycle halves, William Kamkwamba built a crude
yet operable windmill that drastically improved the
lives of his neighbors. This work serves to recognize
his hard work, dedication and the achievement that
made him a hero around the world.

Lopez. These two works are part of Edvard Greig's
famous "Holberg Suite." The Air is one his most
beautiful and tender works, while the Rigaudon is
a characteristically playful French baroque-style
dance. This installment concludes the complete
"Holberg Suite" and all five movements may be
performed together in order as originally intended
or independently.

with flourishes and fanfares, this scenic work is a
snapshot of small towns across the country.
Though seemingly challenging by initial appearance
and sound, all parts lie comfortably on the
instrument, allowing everyone to contribute to the
fabric of sound. Consider projecting pictures from
your community during the performance to allow
the audience to reflect on their own heritage.
