4 Shock Wave—Gary D. Ziek. Driven by a
constant sense of propulsion and rippling waves
of motion, this piece is aptly titled. The initial
shock is provided by the percussion, leading to a
tension filled section with multiple layers of sound
scattered throughout the ensemble. Each new
entrance is accompanied by solo percussion,
building musical pressure to a frenzied, swirling
conclusion with the percussion providing one
final "aftershock" for a resounding finish.

Sky Bound—Todd Stalter. Inspired by a poem
by an ancient Persian poet, this work celebrates
the triumph of the human spirit. The imagery
of ascension is evident in the rising musical
motives, and the energy and drive of the music
concludes with an affirmation of hope.

Starlight—David Gorham. Display a broad
pallet of sonic colors in your concert hall. A
light and spritely opening evokes images of
darkening night skies as one by one the stars
appear. Soon, as with the ever growing stars,
the instrumentation grows into an expansive
landscape, filling the halls with sounds as
colorful and full as a clear starry night. Then,
just as it started, the sounds begin to fall off,
gradually fading out just as the stars before the
approaching day. Stunningly beautiful!

Stella Maris—Samuel R. Hazo. This was
composed as a memorial piece for a beloved
teacher and friend. Tender melodies and lush
harmonies combine in this moving, lyrical
work for mature ensembles. An emotional and
rewarding work!

4 Themes from "An Outdoor Overture"
—Aaron Copland/arr. James Curnow.
A marvelous adaption of the landmark
original work for concert band. Featuring
the primary themes in a concise, yet bold
and appealing format, it's a great example
of Copland in his prime with its buoyant
themes and sense of optimism and joy.

Triumph of the Argonauts—Robert Sheldon.
Tell the story of this epic adventure in ancient
times! This triumphant piece was inspired by the
legendary journey of Jason and his crew as they
overcame numerous challenges during their
quest to capture the Golden Fleece.

4 Unquiet Spirits—John Mackey. The third
movement from "The Soul Has Many Motions,"
this delightful work begins quietly, like a specter
taking shape from a cloud of mist. Soon, the
music begins swirling, changing to a charming,
yet somewhat haunting waltz infectious with
its rhythmic and lilting style. It then concludes
as it began, slowly and gradually diminishing,
disappearing quietly into the air.

Villages—Michael Sweeney. Calling for the
band to be divided into four separate ensembles,
representing four villages, this original explores
a wide range of harmonic and rhythmic
interplay. Innovative in concept, this stunning
work will expose your students and audiences
to dramatically new sounds for band!

l [Jungst]aposed—Craig Fitzpatrick. The title of
this piece is derived from the word "juxtaposed,"
meaning "to place side by side, especially
for comparison or contrast," and the name
"Jungst," which is the name of the band director
to whom it is dedicated. Rhythmically active, it
maintains a high enegy level throughout, making
it a multi-meter showcase for your band.

l Ancient Desert Drone—Henry Cowell/trans.
James Worman. Originally written for orchestra at
the request of Percy Grainger, this work features
a single pitch drone throughout the piece. While
the work suggests a distinctive Eastern charm,
there is no programmatic attempt, an exotic and
welcome addition to the repertoire.

l Evocatio—Brian Balmages. Drawing on some
of the composer's early influences, including
John Barnes Chance and Ottorino Respighi,
this mature and powerful work explores the
dark and mystical while adding elements of
intensity and relentless energy. Composed in
three sections, an underlying sense of tension
is present throughout before the final minutes
erupt triumphantly in a fury of aggression and
sound. Not for the faint of heart!

God's Country—Rossano Galante. From
the most statuesque mountain ranges to our
grandest waterfalls, this sweeping composition
depicts the picturesque landscapes that
have existed since the beginning of time.
Soaring melodic lines, epic brass fanfares, and
emotionally charged harmonies will take your
performers on an unforgettable journey to these
monumental wonders of nature.

l How Deep the Father's Love for Us—
Anthony LaBounty. This timeless British hymn
tune is melodious and alluring; equal to the text
that is rich in poetic language, expressing the
ultimate love of a father. This poignant setting
for band purposely borrows vignettes of imagery
recognized in "Appalachian Spring," among other
orchestration elements. Extremely moving!

l Kirkland Overture—Darren Mitchell. This big,
bright overture is a worthy challenge for the
very best concert bands. Musically descriptive,
the composer was inspired to write this work
during his morning commute, complete with
lots of jerky stops and starts. In addition, snow-
covered mountains infuses the work with a
breathtaking quality for what could easily be
the highlight of a musical season!

l Liquid Compass—Alex Shapiro. Continuing in
the tradition of innovative electroacoustic band
works, this work spans the mystical and the
triumphant. A connection to the sea is conveyed
through metal bowls filled with water, and flutists
will particularly enjoy the otherworldly "ooh-
wah" effect they create. This work migrates
to many places, but never loses its bearings
in pursuit of a musical true north.

l Panhandle Prelude—Jack Stamp. Panhandle
Prelude is built on a syncopated rhythm and
a whole-tone scale. These musical ideas
are effectively woven into a driving, intense
work that will make a terrific opener!

Purple Whispers—Richard L. Saucedo. This
remarkable and descriptive work opens and
closes with members of the ensemble whispering
to one another, creating a soft yet chaotic
effect. As the piece progresses, introduced
by a solo piano, the listener is taken through a
dynamic range of emotional tension and release
before the quiet mood returns to close out
this uniquely effective composition.

l Sailing with the Tall Ships—Philip Sparke.
The title of this work refers to a race in which
large sailing ships annually appear at various
European destinations. A slow introduction
describes the majestic sailing ship, followed
by a faster section which begins in the style
of a sea shanty. Now with the ship under full
sail, we hear a reprise of material from the
introduction to bring the piece to a close.

Spanish Dance (from "The Gadfly")
—Dmitri Shostakovich/arr. James Curnow.
Originally written as part of a movie, this
brilliant dance number was later included
in a suite for orchestra. Carefully crafted,
this adaptation for symphonic band is
an exciting and explosive work suitable
as an opener or encore selection.

l Take Off—Daniel Weinberger. Take your place
in an airplane and wait expectantly for the
motors to spark into life and for the plane to taxi
on the runway. Then it's full throttle, and with a
roar of the engines, you leave all your worries
behind you. Below, the world is in miniature and
you thrill at the freedom of flying high and the
spectacular drama of the clouds.

l Twin Ports Overture—Mark 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.
