4 Drums of the Saamis—Samuel 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.

syncopated rhythms, beautiful lyrical melodies
and harmonies all on full display. Inspiring!

Fearless—Ryan 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!

Wilds. Program this alternative to a traditional
concert march as the opener or closer for your
next concert! This tribute to the dastardly villains
of the silent movie era will excite your performers
and have your audience on the edge of their seats
as they wonder whether the hero will arrive in
time to save the day. Fun and exhilarating!

4 Force of Destiny—Larry Neeck. A bold,
beautiful, and upbeat celebration of the
meaning of life and the pursuit of one's
destiny. Commissioned in honor of a beloved
band director who passed away too young,
it's a sensitive and expressive showcase for
your band. The variety of tempos, colors, and
expressions in this piece will completely display
the subtlety and power of your ensemble.

Forgotten Heroes—Jeremy Bell. Warm and
majestic, this chorale-style piece focuses
on developing musicianship with flowing
musical lines and supportive countermelodies.
Elaborate harmonies and expressive moments
create a musical memorial for all those
who never saw fame or glory, but worked
to make the world a better place.

The Heart's Cry—Bill Whelan/arr. Sean
O'Loughlin. Here's one of the selections from
the famous production that brought Celtic music
to the fore front of popular music. Beautifully
scored, this touching and lush ballad will provide
a truly magical moment to any program.

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.

4 Lament and Jig for Mickey—Gary P.
Gilroy. We don't know who Mickey was, but
he must have been pretty popular to have
this awesome piece written in his memory.
The quiet and mournful lament opens, but
the doesn't dwell very long before moving
into the lilting jig. Tuneful with colorful and
varied percussion, it quickly changes the
mood and soon has everyone swaying to the
almost clock-like hypnotic allure.

Legacy of Honor—Larry Clark. The
celebratory nature of this overture is evident
from the very first note. Written for the 125th
anniversary of one of the oldest performing
concert bands in America, it's a musical
tribute to the many dedicated musicians
that have been a part of this ensemble. The
lively Allegro sections bring a festive flavor,
while the lush middle section brings out the
sentimental feelings of the grand occasion.

The Magician's Secret—Joseph Eidson.
Tricks, grand illusions and impossible feats of
magic! The mysterious magician bedazzles us all
with spectacles of flame, smoke and and objects
that appear as if from thin air. All this occurs as
the music builds in intensity, climaxing with a
grand finale of dazzling light and sound!

4 Mechanism—Todd Stalter. The world of
machines is all around us: they influence
every aspect of our lives. This creative piece
allows us to musically enter that mechanized
universe. Whether it's the precision workings
of the gears and movements of a wind-up
watch, or the industrial workings of a
monstrous, steam-driven machine, it will
transport you into that fascinating world.

4 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.

4 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!

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.

4 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.

4 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.

4 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!

4 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!
