H Among the CloudsBrian Balmages. This
uplifting work transports the listener into a world of
dreamers as they drift off to sleep to the peaceful
sounds of bells, wind chimes and bell tones, only to
wake to an intense full band sound in a world where
they own the skies. This is fresh, contemporary
writing, with an overall optimistic feel as the theme
is developed effectively before the invigorating
conclusion. This is an exciting, energetic piece,
highly recommended for concert and contests!

H AntecediumEd Huckeby. This exceptional
piece for mid-level bands sounds more difficult
than it is. Numerous meter changes in the allegro
section contribute to the high energy impact that
is balanced nicely with the eloquent adagio. Many
states have added this to their contest lists, since
it is the kind of work that makes developing bands
sound great!

Appalachian MorningRobert Sheldon. The

musical heritage with a musical walk through

Gap. In addition to solo opportunities, this lovely
composition allows for a welcome moment of
expression on any concert program.
