4 FearlessRyan Main. Featuring exciting rhythms
and modern harmonies, this direct and intense work
will excite and engage both players and audiences.
A recurring ostinato rhythm is featured throughout,
sometimes powerful and percussive, while at
other times more nuanced, with opportunities for
phrasing and musicality. The contrasting middle
section provides a brief respite from its stormy
surroundings which return for a relentless finish.
Truly inspiring!

l
Festival TributeRobert E. Foster, Jr. Useful
as both a concert opener or closer, this dynamic
work uses mixed meter through alternating
4/4 and 2/4 time signatures and employs a
contrasting chorale setting for teaching legato
style and phrasing. Powerful percussion soli
sections contribute to a thrilling climax, making
this the perfect piece to showcase your band at
your next festival.

l Fingal's Cave (Excerpts)Felix Mendelssohn/
arr. Jim Mahaffey. This concert overture was
composed in 1830, inspired by a cavern on
an island off the west coast of Scotland. The
stand-alone musical selection is part of standard
orchestral repertoire, and this transcription was
created with developing bands in mind to bring the
work within the reach of student musicians.

n Fire Dance (Build-A-Band)David Shaffer.
A very popular band piece for many years, this
arrangement for the Build-A-Band Series retains all
of the fun and excitement of the original, but allows
it to sound great with very small bands or bands
that have instrumentation issues. Also included are
multiple percussion parts as well as an optional
piano part for increased flexibility.

n Fire of Eternal GloryShostakovich/arr. Rhea.
Written in 1960 for the Fire of Eternal Glory burning
at Heroes Square for the defenders of the Great
Patriotic War, Shostakovich's chorale prelude is full
of emotion and strength. It's fairly short and would
make an excellent concert opener!

of nonstop excitement!

school repertoire.

colorful statement. Majestic fanfares and noble melodies create a sense of
pride and celebration that will stand out in any program or festival.

Metamorphosis—Andrew Boysen, Jr.
The title refers to the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. The
piece opens with a beautiful statement which then morphs into something
new in the faster middle section. The triumphant final section emerges
with lively percussion and ensemble swells, simulating the butterfly
getting ready to take flight. This imaginative work ends peacefully as the
butterfly floats off into the distance.

Of Gale Force Winds—Richard L. Saucedo.
Based around rhythmic figures that create a wind-like effect, and combined
with a playful melody, this piece alternates between 6/8 and 9/8, staying
rhythmically dynamic throughout. A very brief moment of repose hints at
the period of calm that comes in the middle or "eye" of bigger storms. The
fury of the storm then returns, with darker sonorities and increased energy,
as this descriptive work comes to an exciting conclusion.

Of Time and Change—James Swearingen.
A well-established hymn creates the beautiful introduction to this
outstanding musical fantasy. Spirited themes lead us to the beauty of a
highly expressive middle section followed by a driving rendition of the
hymn for a joyous ending, both bold and dramatic. Carefully orchestrated
to make your group sound its absolute best!

Phasing Thunder—Brian Balmages.
The dynamic energy of minimalism combines with the epic sounds of
thunderstorms in this contemporary and powerful work. Opening with
the haunting sounds of vibraphone, piano, crystal glasses and ethereal
percussion, the music soon begins to naturally phase in and out as the
storm continues to grow. Powerful lines collide with moments of delicate
transparency before a gentle rainstorm emerges from within the ensemble.
Stunning music!

The Red Covered Bridge—Robert Sheldon.
A red covered bridge is a local attraction in Priceton, Illinois, that served
as the inspiration for this lyrical composition. The serene setting brings
to mind the many people who have crossed that bridge in simpler times,
and the stories of their lives. This piece hopes to capture those moments of
reflection, joy, children playing, and powerful moments of resolve.

Remembrance—Larry Daehn.
Here is a beautiful "In Memoriam" piece reminiscent of the composer's
A Song for Friends. A gorgeous 3/4 melody emerges from the low voices,
is joined by an ethereal woodwind choir, develops into a majestic, noble
utterance, and then fades into quietness. The perfect choice to remember
someone in your school or community.

Revenge of the Swarm—Larry Neeck.
In homage to the "B movie" suspense/horror movies of the 50s and 60s,
here is a fresh, unconventional, but totally entertaining work for young
band. Melodic themes contrast with jagged phrases and lots of special
percussion effects will create quite the "buzz." Don't get "stung" by
passing up this cool programmatic piece.

Ruckus—Randall Standridge.
The dictionary defines "ruckus" as a noisy commotion, fracas or rumpus
and this very original work is just that. Loud, boisterous, aggressive and
mixed meter, heavy percussion and thumping rhythm give this piece a
decidedly urban feel. No doubt your students will be musically entranced
by this powerfully rhythmic, yet sophisticated work.

Shorewood Overture—Michael Sweeney.
Shorewood Overture is designed to be performed by multi-level bands.
Rather than the typical massed band number in which everyone plays at
once, this ingenious overture allows each level to be featured briefly by
itself, along with sections when everyone plays together. In addition, the
Level 3 parts include cues, allowing the work to be performed by a single
ensemble. This is ideal for district-wide festivals!

Sunrise Over Kilimanjaro—Ed Huckeby.
Dramatic harmonies and syncopated rhythms are incorporated in an intriguing
combination which make this refreshingly unique. The subtle opening and
lively percussive motives features unique African-style polyrhythms and
harmonies. Inspired by an actual ascent to the top of Kilimanjaro, this exciting
work is a real "winner" for concert or contest performance.

Up From Earth's Center—Rob Romeyn.
This brilliant programmatic work begins on the morning of the great
1868 Hawaii earthquake. The peaceful and beautiful opening sounds soon
change as we are musically transported to the events of the fateful day, as
the earthquake and resulting Tsunami ensue. Certain to become a classic
for concert and festival use, this is music of highest quality!

Whiplash—Randall D. Standridge.
Young bands will explore rhythmic and motivic development in a thrilling
and exciting manner. The title has a double meaning, referring first to the
breakneck tempo, and second to the sharp report of the whip cracking
throughout the piece. All this combines to make a thoroughly exhilarating
experience for students, conductors and audiences!
