4 Daedelus' LabyrinthSean O'Loughlin. With
its roots in based in Greek mythology, the story of
the labyrinth is told through sounds of winds and
percussion. The feeling of drama while navigating
this incredible maze is evident through pulsating
eighth note patterns accentuated with syncopated
punches. A triumphant theme towards the end
announces that the labyrinth has been conquered,
followed by a ferocious race to the end and freedom.

trolls of Mount Horeb coming out at night to dance

surprising twist. A colorful work that will be a huge

n Danse CarnivaleRandall Standridge. Musical
drama and humor are on display in this homage
to Romantic orchestra repertoire. A blazing tempo,
interspersed with very slow sections, sudden
dynamic shifts and the juxtaposition of d minor and
F major add contrast to this dynamic work. The
perfect choice for an opener, closer or encore work!

l
Dark ProphecyGary D. Ziek. Ancient rituals and
portents of danger immediately take shape, as the
ferocious opening propels the listener to an eerie
and savage time and place. The intensely primal
material eases into a slower, reflective state before
concluding with a violent race to the fearsome
finish, as if the predicted prophecy has come to its
frightful and terrifying conclusion.

l Dig Down DeepTimothy Mahr. Dig Down
Deep provides music that reflects on the will to
persevere when we would perhaps rather not. The
work begins solemnly, with a strong melodic line
interrupted by punctuating resistance. Eventually,
the urge to drive forward is found and the work
propels itself with enthusiasm.

Irish folk song is treated here in a warm and colorful
setting. The instrumentation is varied and a wealth
of musical elements are provided through creative

4 Drums of the SaamisSamuel R. Hazo. Opening
with tribal drums, then featuring a haunting melody
simulating the traditional wooden flute, this work
is based on those two themes. Both elements are
developed, varied, and enhanced throughout, with
modern-sounding chords and rhythms. By the end,
the marriage of the old and the new is complete.
This powerful work closes as it began: a restatement
of themes representing the musical and historical
foundation of the region of Alberta, Canada.

'E' for EternityGary P. Gilroy. A moving work
written for, and dedicated to, the memory of a
young student and classmate. The musical material
alternates between flowing melodic lines and
powerful ensemble climaxes, then quickly subsides
to softly floating phrases. These contrasts reflect
the contrasting emotions that one experiences in
tragedy such as this.

n Each Time You Tell Their StorySamuel Hazo.
"No soldiers choose to die. It's what they risk being
who and where they are. It's what they dare while
saving someone else whose life means suddenly as
much to them as theirs. Or more. To honor them,
why speak of duty or the will of governments? Think
first of love each time you tell their story. It gives
their sacrifice a name and takes from war its glory."
These poignant words by the poet Dr. Samuel
J. Hazo are matched equally with appropriately
dignified music composed by his son, Samuel R.
Hazo. This music for concert band with narrator is
respectful, reverent, and reaches a depth of emotion
that will touch the hearts of your audience.

Earth and SkyMichael Sweeney. The Omaha
tribe in Nebraska believed in an inseparable union
between earth and sky. Woodwind motifs and
delicate textures are contrasted with an underlying
percussion ostinato and feature spots celebrating
the two elements. Rich chordal accompaniments
and soaring melodies provide continuity and flow in
this dynamic work for band.

extraordinary work for band uses an intriguing array

Listeners are immersed in a simulated rainstorm,
the sounds of world drumming, overlapping tone
clusters and textures, and finally a dance of
jubilation as the piece comes to a satisfying and
rewarding finish.

ElationSean O'Loughlin. Alert your contest list
committee, this has all of the makings of a standard
for young bands! The opening celebratory nature is
effectively contrasted by a thoughtful minor section
that appears in the middle of the work. This piece
may seem musically challenging, but is well worth
it for your band.

n Endless RainbowsBrian Balmages.
Centering around a very simple melody, this
stunning work is both mournful and uplifting.
Floating in over the mallets a solo flute introduces
the simple theme. It evolves in various forms
gradually growing to a climactic moment of light
and hope. Fading to a simple finish the audience
is left to reflect on joy of the rainbow, illuminating
the skies. Highly recommended!

n Escape from the DeepBrian Balmages.
The miraculous survival of nine Navy officers is
depicted in this selection based on the book of
the same name. The music begins with a military
quality, but then takes on a much more dissonant
character as the crew members fight for their
lives. Excerpts from America begin to appear
in various forms, first in adrenaline-packed
moments, then in a brief moment of solitude.
The final burst of energy portrays the sailors'
incredible escape from the depths of the ocean
to the surface of the water. Powerful!

brake drums in the percussion section and bright,
strident brass figures. Great material for contest,
this piece is sure to excite your audience and have

selection needed to begin your next concert! The
spectacular sound of the full band chords leave

superb adaptation that maintains all the power and
majesty of the original.

n Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas TallisRalph
Vaughan Williams/arr. Bocook. This piece
combines the simple, elegant thematic material of
the Elizabethan church composer Tallis, expanded
and modernized through the luxurious harmonies
of Vaughan Williams. A setting for band has been
long overdue, and the original work for string
orchestra has been masterfully transformed into a
magnificent setting for winds. Fantasia was used
with great effect in the 2003 film "Master and
Commander: The Far Side of the World."
