4 MetamorphosisAndrew 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.

MetrixRobert Sheldon. Multi-metered and jazz
inspired, this composition is especially unique!
Infectious rhythms and tuneful melodies are
highlighted by driving percussion riffs, propelling
the music through a variety of styles, moods and
textures. The title is a play on the words "matrix,"
which refers to an array of numbers, and
"metric," which relates to the variety of meters
used in the piece.

The beauty and austerity of this sacred choral work is
captured beautifully for band by the arranger. Given the tone
colors available in the modern wind ensemble, Bruckner's

chromaticism and the harmonic language of the Romantic era
make this transcription an appropriate extension of Bruckner's
musical tastes. Enrich your students' musicality by engaging

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing—
arr. 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.

clarinet wraps up this memorable hymn tune arrangement in
a reverent, quiet way.

Consolation—Noah D. Taylor. Consolation is chorale-

building tension, and immense emotional release.

'E' for Eternity—Gary 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.

How Deep The Father's Love For Us—
Anthony LaBounty.
This timeless British hymn tune is

of imagery recognized in Appalachian Spring among other
orchestration elements. Extremely moving!

In Endless Song—Robert Lowry/
arr. Randall D. Standridge.
The lyrics and music of this
hymn express a true feeling of inner peace and joy that
is displayed with little or no alteration, letting the natural
beauty of the melodic line speak for itself. Band composers
have long used hymn tunes as the basis for compositions,
creating a large and rich repertoire of hymn song settings,
and this wonderfully musical arrangement is a welcome
addition to that body of works.

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

quietness. The perfect choice to remember someone in your
school or community.
