Take the RibbonsGary P. Gilroy. Get ready for
a wild ride with this work inspired by the story of
the first female stagecoach driver for the famous
Wells Fargo stage line. Her first time to "take the
ribbons" or reins was at age 14, in a harrowing
night run alone through dangerous and untamed
country. The music is unrelenting in conveying the
sense of a high-speed race, careening through
the night with danger lurking around every bend.
Absolutely breathtaking!

H Tempered SteelCharles Young. The key
word here is "steel"... or metal. Metal clangs, it
blows, it vibrates, it excites, and it has strength.
This urgent, driving piece has those qualities, and
you'll find it's a neat and unique addition to the
repertoire. Expressing a celebration of our triumph
over unavoidable hardships and obstacles we
regularly face that force us to be stronger, resilient,
or "tempered," the piece explores the metallic
sonorities of the wind band to great effect.

Third SuiteRobert Jager. A true classic in
the repertoire of the modern concert band, this
delightful suite opens with a march which alternates
between 4/4 and 3/4, is followed by a waltz which
alternates between 3/4 and 2/4, and finishes with
a rondo in 6/8 - almost!

l Twin Ports OvertureMark Camphouse.
This work honors the life and legacy of a public
school music educator who enjoyed a long and
distinguished career. In contrast to a typical elegy,
there is an evident celebratory feel, sparkling and
colorful. Brass is prominent in many parts and the
well-known hymn Praise Ye the Lord, the Almighty,
which was played at the memorial service, is
featured prominently throughout the work.

n Urban DancesErik Morales. Rhythm is the key
element of this vibrant and contemporary piece
which incorporates many of the rhythms found in
today's popular music. The melodic and thematic
elements, while important, play a supportive and
secondary role. In many instances the thematic
material floats over the rhythmic pulse creating a
double time feel. It's lively and persistent throughout
with very active and involved percussion.

H Variations on a Korean Folk SongJohn
Barnes Chance. A very deservedly popular
composition consisting of five contrasting variations
on a lyrical Korean folk song. Stated first in unison
by the woodwinds, the material is brilliantly explored
and developed, and the use of Oriental harmonies is
tastefully controlled. The percussion section is used
extensively, both rhythmically and melodically.

Come. An expansive work by the composer of A

n The Witch and the SaintSteven Reineke. A
major contribution that's sure to become a part
of standard repertoire. This ten-minute tone poem
in one movement comprises five distinct sections
that tell the legend of twin sisters born in Germany
in 1588. Starting with a Gregorian chant motif, all
manner of musical sorcery is used to represent
the turbulent lives of these vastly misunderstood
women. Steven Reineke brings us yet another
fascinating work of lasting popularity.

scholars, vagabond poets and wandering
monks of the 13th century, the songs "...are
frank avowals of the earthly pleasures: eating,
drinking, gambling, love-making; the beauty
of life and springtime, the irony and cruelty of
fortune..." This spirit is vividly portrayed in this
exceptionally dramatic work! (Please note: The
