ScrambleTodd Stalter. A tumultuous
concert opener or closer intended to depict two
characteristics of the title, the frantic collecting of
things together in a disorderly way, and darting about
quickly with a sense of urgency. Once the theme is
presented the fun really starts! The action revs up
as the musical "parts" are separated and combined
in unique and haphazard combinations, all at break-
neck speed that will leave everyone breathless!

H SedonaSteven Reineke. Don't miss this
distinctive composition! Having has had several
wonderful pieces published already, this successful
composer has captured in musical ideas the natural
landscape of mountains and wide open spaces,
and uses them to paint a musical canvas that is
at once bold, entertaining, and filled with life. A
short, memorable theme runs throughout the work,
showing up in a delicate flute solo, an intricate
woodwind fugue, a warm trombone solo, and a
bold, triadic trumpet statement that will pick you
up right out of your seat. A marvelous piece that we
highly recommend to all bands!

l SerenityOla Gjeilo/trans. J. Eric Wilson.
Beautifully arranged by J. Eric Wilson along with
the composer, this version for wind band maintains
all the wonder and magic of the original choral
work. The opening is ethereal and somber, with
sustained chords in clarinets and bowed percussion
supporting a delicate oboe solo. The middle section
shifts the principal modality from minor to major,
and the layering orchestration and rising tessitura
creates a tremendous rush of energy that leads to
a triumphant climax. The closing section returns
to the timbre of the opening, but now painted with
hopefulness and healing.

Shock WaveGary 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.

and dynamic work took the symphonic world by
storm. Available here in a playable setting for

excitement and drive. A wonderful introduction to
"minimalist" music and one of America's treasured
contemporary composers.

4 Silver CelebrationJohn Wasson. This work
combines elements of traditional march style and
the bravura of epic film scores, resulting in a piece

recapping the opening theme with a flourish and
dramatic appeal.

their simple, straightforward beauty." The work is
based on the songs: In Yonder Valley; Dance; Hear,

the movements can stand alone in performance, as
your programming needs dictate.

sophistication of a much more difficult work.
