Celtic VoyageMelanie Donahue. Inspired by the
history of the Irish immigrants, this Celtic-flavored
piece expresses the feelings experienced in their
trek to the new world. Beginning with the sound of
ocean drums in the background, a solo flute plays
the main theme. As the piece develops, the theme
changes to represent hardships, the journey to
America and the climactic arrival and first glimpse of
the Statue of Liberty. A moving and touching work.

ChoreographyRobert Sheldon. Written in
overture form, the piece draws its inspiration from
dance movements found in contemporary stage,
ballet and theatrical productions. Fast-paced
angular gestures accompanied by rapid rhythmical
punctuations provide a thrilling opening before
yielding to a contrasting lyrical section with long,
flowing lines that offer many opportunities for
expressive playing. The infectious beat patterns
and memorable melodic content combine to make
this an excellent concert opener.

illumination. A wealth of styles and teaching

4 Come Thou Fount of Every Blessingarr.
Randall Standridge. The arranger chose this
reverent, yet somewhat sad-sounding hymn
to arrange for band in honor of the life and
influence of his grandmother, who passed away
in 2012. Moving from moments of quiet beauty
though hugely magnificent waves of sound, this
powerful arrangement is a great example of the
expressiveness and power that can be achieved by
a fine concert band work. The final statement of the
hymn tune melody by a solo clarinet wraps up this
memorable hymn tune arrangement in a reverent,
quiet way.

4 ConsolationNoah D. Taylor. Consolation is
chorale-like and passionately evokes the emotions
one endures when they find a source of comfort
in a time of suffering or grief. Representing the
complex emotions of the human condition, are
juxtapositioned moments of quiet solace, building
tension, and immense emotional release.

CounterbalanceTodd Stalter. This clever and
creative work is extremely exciting! Follow the music
as it takes you through a world of musical opposites:

low, smooth against angular. It all combines for a
burst of pure energy on your next concert!

n Crescent MeadowRob Romeyn. Inspired
by California's Sequoia National Park, whose
breathtaking vistas unfold in the beautiful and
lyric sounds. Flute and clarinet solo fragments
invoke vivid imagery of this beautiful meadow, after
which a short section of contrasting style leads to a
dramatic final statement. The work then subsides,
ending as it began, with uncommon sensitivity.
Ideal for young band repertoire.

n Crown ImperialWilliam Walton/arr. Bocook.
Jay Bocook has created an accessible version of a
band classic with this superb rescoring of Walton's
regal march. The musical pageantry and thrilling
strains have been carefully arranged for playability

Cumberland CrossCarl Strommen. You'll
really get a nice sound with this one! Carl's original
work explores the rich American folk style in two
sections. The first has broad, moving harmonies
under a Shenandoah-like melody, and the second
a lively dance reminiscent of Copland. Cumberland
Cross is not too difficult, yet very impressive!

Cut to the ChaseTodd Stalter. A most
appropriate title that in popular jargon means to
get to the point, and fast! In this work, the melodic
fragments dart around the band as if everyone is
being chased or is chasing something. The frantic
action pauses for a slow, romantic section, as if to
catch one's breath before the chase resumes for a
dash to the finish!

CycloneMichael Oare. The power and intensity
of our ever-changing marine environment is
portrayed in this descriptive work for young players.
A simple melodic motif along with syncopated
rhythmic energy effectively depicts the power
of nature's most violent storms. After a calm,
yet foreboding introduction, the mood quickly
transforms as the storm draws near. Thundering
bass drum rolls and driving rhythmic and melodic
ostinatos highlight dynamic and textural contrasts
that sweep into the bold and exciting conclusion.
