n Summer Resounding!Brian Balmages. The
joyous feelings of summer are captured in this
highly spirited piece. The beautiful melodic and
harmonic lines play superbly off one another,
creating music that is both intense and charismatic.

n Sun CyclesBrian Balmages. The essence of
the Egyptian sun god Ra is heard in this intriguing
programmatic piece. The opening section,
"Sunrise," represents the beginning of a new day.
The music becomes more vibrant as Ra is reborn
and emerges as the sun. "Journey through the
Sky," the second portion, takes the listener on Ra's
daily excursion as he flies through the sky to a lively
and dance-like theme. The music turns darker
and more subdued as Ra makes his descent into
the "Underworld." Finally the piece leads to the
"Renewal," which completes the full cycle of the
sun god's day. Captivating!

n SunburstErik Morales. Depicting the awe-
inspiring moments after a thunderstorm, this
concert overture is an exciting and dramatic work
that portrays streaks of sunlight jetting toward the
horizon. A lyrical opening sets the tone as the
clouds begin to break, and then the music takes
off in a frenzy of excitement as the sunlight breaks
through. Incredible harmonies intertwine with
dynamic fanfares and woodwind flourishes as the
work continues to develop. A lyrical section provides
a brief respite to the active rhythmic pulse before
the music takes off again, building to one last heroic
statement of the main theme. Inspirational!

l
Surf's Up!Joseph Eidson. Inspired by the
surf rock bands of the 1960s, all the musical
characteristics of the style are showcased: a fast-
paced driving rhythm, an agile melody, and frequent
use of blues scale elements. Steady rhythms in the
winds and percussion imitate the chugging of a
Fender Stratocaster guitar while dynamics ebb and
flow until an energetic coda delivers a tsunami of
sound that fills the concert hall.

outstanding addition to the "BandQuest" series,
Sweet Like That features tuba solo, trap set, and
other requests from students with whom Mr.
Theofanidis workshopped the piece. This work
is exuberant, joyful and with a whiff of gospel
capsulizes the sound of the American street.
Instrumental doo-wop; an urban march!

and punctuated with a vigorous percussion
component, it provides a great opportunity for

4 That Which Binds UsBrian Balmages. Centered
around the various stages of grief, the music cleverly
uses theme and variations to take the audience on a
roller coaster of emotions. From the everyday norm
to moments of grief, anger, sorrow and acceptance,
the powerful musical lines eventually lead into a
massive ending reminiscent of Stravinsky's Firebird.
Epic in every sense of the word!

ThunderboltJohnnie Vinson. The P-47
Thunderbolt was one of the workhorse airplanes
of World War II. This dramatic overture for band
musically tells the story of this legendary plane.
The opening heroic strain is contrasted with a slow,
reflective middle section before returning to the fast
theme and exciting conclusion. A terrific-sounding
and expertly scored overture, it's a perfect choice
for contest or festival.

Time CirclesJohn Prescott. The evocative
music of this work appears at times in melodic
swirls that seem to float in from the distance like
faint and far-off memories. Light but persistent
percussion creates a subtle yet unyielding
background for wind lines that seemingly travel
through passageways of sound. The overall effect
is a misty dream-like state, as if traveling through
time itself.

4 TimepieceRandall Standridge. The sound
of Windsor Chimes opens this clever musical
representation that explores the concept of time.
Literal concepts such as asymmetric meters and
rhythm are used as well as sound effects such
as the sound of ticking clocks and cuckoo birds.
A completely engrossing work of charm and
originality that you won't want to miss out on.

A musical statement that conveys the sentiment

and dynamic, it will connect immediately with
musicians and their audiences.

leading to the climactic finish that signals the
traveler's end.

The Troll BridgeJohn Prescott. Legends and

approach, frightening crossing and mad dash to
safety in this delightfully vivid musical recreation
of this famous story.

n Tudor SketchesWilliam Owens. This three
movement work is based on the songs and styles
during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Hampton
Court, with its flowing dance feel, is followed by The
Queen Bess, which is relaxed and stately. Finally,
the great chase is heard in Hunting at Chobham.
Throughout all three movements there is plenty of
interplay between brass and woodwind choirs along
with stylish percussion parts.
