Of Gale Force WindsRichard 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.

n Old ChurchesMichael Colgrass. If you are

Gregorian chant is one of the earliest forms of
notated music, using free flowing rhythms and
simple melody. In this magnificently crafted
work, these elements combine to create an aura
of voices echoing in the monastery. Using easy
graphic notation, students have a fun and creative
way to explore sound production along with the
compositional process. It's quite an amazing work
for this level, and one worth exploring!

l On the Tamiami TrailJames Curnow. The
Tamiami Trail provides over 260 miles of scenic
Florida beauty between Tampa and Miami. The
opening fanfare sets the mood and leads to
the energetic first theme. Subsequently a Latin
influence is introduced along with an expressive
middle theme before returning to the energetic
flavor of the opening strains. A dynamic and varied

Georgian Suite)Samuel Hazo. With flowing
melodic lines and creative scoring, this original
work is a welcome addition to the band repertoire.
Sections of light and delicate writing are skillfully

moderately easy level of difficulty would indicate.

n Paper CutAlex Shapiro. Composer Alex
Shapiro's Paper Cut is reminiscent of a movie
soundtrack to which musicians can imagine their
own dramatic scene. Paper Cut is written to make
the players themselves part of the action with
choreographed maneuvers that look as compelling
as they sound. In fact, the band members don't
even play their instruments until halfway into
the work... instead they "play" paper along with
a prerecorded track (available as an mp3)! The
unusual element of paper and the myriad sounds
that can emerge from something so simple offers a
fresh view of what music-making can be and opens
everyone's ears to the sonic possibilities found
among everyday objects. The paper techniques
and the skill of playing against a prerecorded track
are interesting for all ages.

introduces wind players to percussion rudiments
in a performance piece that is both fun and
educational. Rhythmic patterns played by the

hit for audiences and musicians alike. Don't miss
out on this unique work inspired by, and based on,
percussion rudiments.

H Pevensey CastleRobert Sheldon. This minor-
key tone poem is suggestive of the historical times
surrounding the fall of Pevensey Castle in the
south of England during the Dark Ages. Written
in 3/4 time, this very imaginative and effective
piece is perfect for contest or concert use, offering
directors the opportunity to program music which
contains elements not usually found at this grade
level. Exceptional!

n Phasing ThunderBrian Balmages. The dynamic
energy of minimalism combines with the epic
sounds of thunderstorms in this contemporary and
powerful work. Opening with the haunting sounds
of vibraphone, piano, crystal glasses and ethereal
percussion, the music soon begins to naturally
phase in and out as the storm continues to grow.
Powerful lines collide with moments of delicate
transparency before a gentle rainstorm emerges
from within the ensemble. Stunning music!

l Prelude and DanceJack Stamp. In Prelude
and Dance, composer Jack Stamp incorporates
many of the techniques found in his more difficult
works to create a piece for younger bands without
full instrumentation. After a slow, peaceful prelude,
the piece moves into a dance-like allegro. This
edition adds parts for oboe, bassoon, alto clarinet,
electric bass, and rehearsal piano to meet the
needs of full bands.

PulsationRichard L. Saucedo. Definitely an
enjoyable work that's off the beaten path! Written
entirely in one tempo, the meter alternates between
4/4 and 6/8 throughout, creating an ingenious effect
of pulsating motion along with layers of textures and
sounds. Starting with a soloistic dialogue between
flute and clarinet, the work progresses to thicker
sonorities and thrilling percussive effects including
clapping and shouting.

aggressive percussion undercurrent with powerful
riffs, clapping, stomping and other noisy effects, and

contrast before a Celtic-influenced final segment
drives to a rhythmic and dynamic finish.

The Red Covered BridgeRobert 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.
