WhirlybirdTodd Stalter. This wild flight of
imagination is a fast-paced, swirling vortex of
sound. Swift melodies and pulsing background
rhythms are woven into changing time signatures
and plentiful percussion. The aural impression of
whirling rotors and the unique maneuvers of a
helicopter is thoroughly engaging!

Whisper to Their SoulsSamuel R. Hazo. Here
is a unique and creative setting of the familiar tune
Greensleeves (What Child Is This?) that opens with
the melody scored softly for the woodwinds. The
full ensemble contributes a series of harmonically
rich phrases until the work reaches and emotional
climax at the powerfully scored key change. While
this is certainly effective as a holiday offering, it can
be performed as a memorable tone poem any time
of the year.

4 The Wind RacersJeremy Bell. Fast and
powerful, this work plays off a single motif that
continues to build in energy to the very end. Soaring
woodwinds trade off the motif while the warmth
of the brass section creates a unique dynamic
featuring intensely fast and bright flourishes.
A challenging and captivating work that grabs your
attention and holds you until the final note.

Grainger. This is a real gem! In the typically
understated style of Percy Grainger, this delightful
work, originally published in 1936, is incredibly
nice. Disarmingly easy from a technical point of
view, and only two minutes long, this is an excellent
way to showcase a mature band.

l Zanzibar Boat SongPercy Grainger/arr.
Preston Hazzard. Percy Grainger composed this
work for "six hands at one piano" in 1902, and
subsequently he began a version for percussion
ensemble which was never completed. Using
sketches of this incomplete arrangement, Preston
Hazzard has created a unique setting for concert
band. The transparent, delicate and lilting nature of
the original work comes through in this appealing
arrangement for winds and percussion.

[Jungst]aposedCraig Fitzpatrick. The title of
this piece is derived from the word "juxtaposed,"
meaning "to place side by side, especially for
comparison or contrast," and the name "Jungst,"
which is the name of the band director to whom it is
dedicated. Rhythmically active, it maintains a high
enegy level throughout, making it a multi-meter
showcase for your band.

H Abram's PursuitDavid Holsinger. Pursuit,
indeed! This rampaging work is a careening chase
that starts with a bang and doesn't let up until
the final notes! Inspired by the biblical story from
Genesis, Holsinger has created a furious up-tempo
composition marked with vivid accents, flurrying
woodwind and keyboard percussion writing, and
incessant percussion that rhythmically drives
the piece. Extremely exciting and vibrant stuff for
mature bands!

Along an English CountrysideRichard L.
Saucedo. Composed in 12/8 at an energetic
tempo, this masterful work is a tribute to the
late Sir Malcolm Arnold, one of the most notable
English composers of our time. The opening section
features short solo statements of the theme which
lead to well-timed and impressive declarations from
the entire ensemble. Playfully solemn moods are
skillfully captured in a brief yet impressive manner.
An excellent choice for a concert opener.

splendor and verve, and Philip Lang's transcription
is a challenge well worth the effort!

arrived in the world of serious band literature. A
programmatic work based on Dante Alighieri's

drummer Kyle Woodring. The music serves as a
backstage pass to his career and, in the style of a

a series of styles and melodies. Spectacular!

H Blue ShadesFrank Ticheli. Absolutely
fascinating! The composer has created a work that
combines his love of jazz and the blues with his
own contemporary style. Although there is a strong
allusion to the blues and a jazz feeling is prevalent,
this is not a literal "Blues" piece. Blues harmonies,
rhythms and melodic idioms do pervade the work,
and many "shades of blue" are heard, from bright
and dark to dirty and hot. It's a demanding work
that will require strong players in every section of
the band.

n Bridge of the GodsJames Curnow. A dramatic
three-movement symphonic poem presenting the
colorful legend of the Native American Klickitatst
about the origins of the volcanic mountains of the
Cascade range and legendary bridge. The first
movement "Saghalie" pays tribute to the powerful
chief of all gods and is based on a majestic fanfare
theme. The second movement captures the beauty
of the maiden "Loowit" with haunting flute and
english horn solos accompanied by soft chanting
voices. The final movement "Tanmahawis"
utilizes stark clusters, jagged melodic fragments
and rhythmic percussive energy as it depicts the
destruction of the mighty bridge.

l A Celebration OvertureBruce Broughton. This
thrilling "tour-de-force" concert opener is really an
extended fanfare, opening with an energetic brass
and percussion motif that forms the basis for the
piece. A contrasting lyrical section appears in brief
after the opening statement and once again before
the final push to the end. Exhilarating!
