The Great Steamboat RaceRobert W. Smith.
You'll be swept back in time as this programmatic
work recounts the tale of a race between two
Mississippi River paddleboats. The tune Waitin' for

creative scoring brings it all together in a most
appealing way. Good old fashioned charm and
story-telling blends well with innovative writing that
makes this a superb choice for any concert setting.
Very highly recommended!

n Greek Folk Song SuiteFranco Cesarini.
The passion and infectious rhythms of Greek
folk are what this fine three-movement work
for band is all about! Each movement has its
own unique character and charm, but you will
surely be carried away by the third movement,
that recalls the sirtaki, the most popular Greek
dance, characterized by a grand accelerando.
"My Big, Fat Greek Wedding" and the spin-off
television show has made Greek culture familiar
to audiences everywhere, so it's a great time to
program captivating Greek folk music!

n Hadrian's WallRobert W. Smith. One of
the wonders of history, this great wall between
England and Scotland is a reminder of the far-
reaching influence of the Roman empire. The
opening solo gives a view of the quiet landscape
before the music builds ominously, an indication
of the approaching conflict. A great opportunity for
cross-curricular teaching, this provides an addition
to concert programming that is hard to beat.

4 Heroes Near and FarRichard L. Saucedo.
Each of the five movements of this innovative work
is designed to invoke a particular type of emotion
associated with leadership. Courage is stately in
nature and played in a marcato style. Vision has
a playful sense and focuses on mixed meters as
well as mixed emotions. The lyric and sensitive
Compassion is meant to stir the soul, while the
contrasting Selflessness offers some of the most
intense and demanding music of the set. The
energetic final movement, Heroes, will bring to
mind your own favorite superhero! Supplemental
curricula centered around leadership and
character development is available and is tied to
the Common Core Standards. Each movement and
accompanying curriculum can stand on its own,
allowing the director the flexibility of using as much
or as little as desired. A tremendous resource for
today's teacher!

The Hounds of SpringAlfred Reed/arr.
Longfield. The Hounds of Spring was composed
in 1980 by prolific band composer Alfred Reed. In
this concert overture, Reed captures the elements
of youthful exuberance and the tenderness of love.

this setting has been masterfully shortened and
adapted for younger bands.

Hymnsong VariantsRobert W. Smith. This
is the kind of work for which Robert Smith has
become so well known! Percussion plays a vital
role in this dazzling theme and variations, based on
an original hymnsong by the composer. Shifting
syncopations and accents that stay in a meter of
four make it sound much harder than it actually
is, and the woodwind writing, in particular, stays
at a very playable level. An extremely exciting
composition, this will be a great choice for either
concert or contest!

n Hypnotic FirefliesBrian Balmages. You're in an
open field during a warm summer night, and the
flashing and blinking of fireflies is spellbinding. The
same may be said for this remarkably descriptive
piece. Through the use of metallic percussion,
including an amplified Slinky, an essential piano
part and a constant eighth note pulse, it's simple to
imagine thousands of lightening bugs before your
eyes. The music builds and develops throughout
the piece as the bold melody is supported by
effective scoring. A truly stunning composition!

melodic and elegant. Uniquely appealing!

H ImaniSean O'Loughlin. This celebratory work
with an African feel is equally at home in holiday
concerts and at performances year 'round! It's
named after the seventh day of Kwanzaa, Imani,
which translates to mean "faith." Featuring some
unison chants sung by the band members, a
delightful piccolo solo and fascinating percussion
parts, this captures the tribal feeling that is so
important to the celebration of this African-
American holiday. Bands at the upper end of this
grade level will find this accessible and a refreshing
addition to their library. Exotic and impressive!

In Endless SongRobert 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.

n In Heaven's AirSamuel Hazo. With soaring
melodies and chorale-like moments, this original
work is an affirmation of the human spirit.
Through performance of this piece, your band will
develop their musicality through a combination of
dynamic and rhythmic elements. The band plays
together throughout, so it's a natural for building
important listening skills for balance and blend.
It's a lovely, expressive piece that offers moments
of real strength.
