4 LuminanceGary D. Ziek. The spirit of this piece is
reflective of the title as the music is both shimmering
and exuberant. A bold rhythmic opening statement
from the ensemble introduces the energetic theme
and active background, bright, steady and glittering.
After slowing for a middle section that is warmer in
character, the original material returns, shining and
bright, for the rousing conclusion.

H
The MaelstromRobert W. Smith. Swirling
woodwinds full of intensity mark this demanding
concert work. A plaintive sax solo begins the work,
but soon gives way to a whirlpool of quick ostinatos
and bold brass statements. Excellent for contest
use, The Maelstrom will push your woodwinds at
the top of the medium-easy level, but the brass
parts are really quite playable. A bold choice for
your band!

most famous piece of music, and you can bet
the result is exceptional! This version is musically
exciting, well-paced and very approachable for
developing bands. Jay Bocook condenses the piece
to an appropriate length for bands at this level, but

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

workings of a monstrous, steam-driven machine, it

4 Memento (A Tribute to Arthur Delamont,
Mvt. 2)Robert Buckley. Starting with a simple
and reverent solo trumpet and introducing the other
brass instruments one by one, the introduction has
the sound of a brass band. The woodwinds join
in and, with the use of rich textures and dynamic
scoring, the work builds to a powerful climax before
it resolves once again with the solo trumpet. Ideal
for festival use, Memento will give your ensemble
an opportunity to explore expression and nuance.

n 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.

adventure and excitement of the historic Apollo
11 mission in this evocative work inspired by the
legendary space race between the United States
and the Soviet Union in the 1960s. After an ethereal
opening, the music builds as the rockets ignite and
the astronauts start their rapid ascent into space.
A brief slower section signifies the careful process
of landing on the moon before the music picks up
speed once again to depict the spacecraft hurtling
back to earth. Fantastic!

skillfully intertwines the melodies of Shenandoh and
The Water Is Wide to create an expressive piece
that reflects the flowing beauty and majesty of a
great river. The melodies float gracefully together
and apart, just as rivers ebb and flow as they drift
through the landscape. Wonderfully arranged, it
presents a tremendous opportunity for teaching

n Nessun DormaGiacomo Puccini/Bocook. One
of the most memorable melodies ever written, this
Puccini masterpiece is adapted wonderfully here for
concert band. The opening theme is presented by
a solo baritone (cued for trumpet or oboe), and is
followed by soaring statements for the woodwinds
and horn. The trumpets are added as the pieces
build towards its signature climactic ending. Band
music simply doesn't get any classier than this!

NettletonJohnnie Vinson. Most widely known
as Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing, the
early American hymn tune Nettleton is creatively
arranged in this beautiful setting. Using the horns
as a focal point for the first section and followed by
a lyric portion scored for woodwinds, this work also
includes nicely orchestrated sections for brass as
well as effectively written dynamic nuances.

n NevermoreBrian Balmages. This modern work
based on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" tells
the eerie story of a man confronted by a sinister
bird, and his slow descent into utter madness. A
haunting piano line starts the piece, surrounded
by contemporary effects and textures. As the
man becomes more irritated, the music picks up
in tempo and becomes increasingly dissonant
and violent until it erupts in a cacophony of chaos.
Finally, the man "breaks," and the unsettling
sounds of the opening piano return to conclude the
piece. A truly dramatic work for band.

l New FrontiersAaron Blakely. Reminiscent of
our country's westward explorers, this high energy
selection features a western-influenced melody

A somewhat reflective mood then transitions to a

a sparkling orchestration, with countermelodies that
reach a pinnacle in the closing measures.

Night on Bald MountainModeste Moussorgsky/
Williams. This impressive concert band adaptation
of Moussorgsky's spectacular orchestral work will
be a thrilling selection in any concert performance.
It depicts a witches' Sabbath and was used with
great effect in the Walt Disney animated film
"Fantasia." Trills, staccato phrases, meter changes
and wide variances in dynamics all contribute to the
effect. This is a very special transcription that will
show your band at its very best!
