God's CountryRossano Galante. From the
most statuesque mountain ranges to our grandest
waterfalls, this sweeping composition depicts the
picturesque landscapes that have existed since the
beginning of time. Soaring melodic lines, epic brass

n Goddess of FireSteven Reineke. Once again
composer Steven Reineke brings us a work of
profound impact. The mysterious and intriguing
opening draws the listener into a dazzling world
of symphonic colors as tribal percussion hints of
ancient traditions and rituals. Sections of beautiful
melodic content serve as a backdrop to the intense
and almost savage character of the fierce 10/8
development. A masterful work that will leave a
lasting impression.

n Godzilla Eats Las VegasEric Whitacre. An
original work best described in the composer's
own words as being "really out there." The
writing reflects a keen interest in theater, film and
television, with the structure of the piece being very
film-like in its very rapid changes of style. A totally
unique and very memorable work.

H Gum-Suckers MarchPercy Grainger/arr. Mark
Rogers. This delightful work is "pure" Grainger!
Originally the final movement of his suite "In a
Nutshell", Grainger rescored this piece for Military
Band, Piano and Tuneful Percussion. Written in his
most popular English "music hall" style, you'll find
lots of those wonderful "Grainger-isms" here, along
with some substantial difficulty.

l The Gypsy Baron OvertureJohann Strauss,
Jr./arr. Kenneth Singleton. In this authentic
transcription, flute, oboe, clarinet, alto saxophone,
and cornet all make notable solo contributions.
There are at least ten separate tunes, each
exhibiting a singular character, making this overture
great fun for players, conductor and audience!
Viennese opera music at its best!

n Handel in the StrandPercy Grainger/arr.
Goldman. Percy Grainger himself said of this piece,
"...the music seemed to reflect both Handel and
English musical comedy...as if jovial old Handel
were careening down the Strand (London's
"Broadway") to the strains of modern English
popular music." What can one add to that? Try it
and find out!

4 Head RushJay Bocook. Employing a
minimalist approach, this dynamic piece uses
layers of constantly evolving textures and
rhythmic devices, while propelled throughout
by an energetic underlying pulse. Sprinkled with
surprises and dramatic effects, and culminating
with the full force of the entire ensemble, Head
Rush is a dramatic and unique addition to the
repertoire for mature ensembles.

composed for Herald Trumpets, the U.S. Army
Band's acclaimed trumpet ensemble, Paul Murtha's
dramatic fanfare pays tribute to the heroic men and
women of the New York City Fire Department who
lost their lives in 2001. Brilliant!

H Hoe DownAaron Copland/arr. Rogers. Next to
"Appalachian Spring", this is perhaps Copland's
most recognizable composition. It is the final
movement of his suite Four Dance Episodes from
"Rodeo", which is drawn from his Ballet score of
the same name. Wildly exuberant and charged with
energy, this arrangement by Mark Rogers can fit
into just about any program!

n How Deep the Father's Love for UsAnthony
LaBounty. This timeless British hymn tune is
melodious and alluring; equal to the text that is
rich in poetic language, expressing the ultimate
love of a father. This poignant setting for band
purposely borrows vignettes of imagery recognized
in "Appalachian Spring," among other orchestration
elements. Extremely moving!

n Hymn to a Blue HourJohn Mackey. The blue
hour refers to the moment of day between twilight
and complete darkness, a time of day known for
its romantic, spiritual, ethereal qualities. The colors
of fading light are beautifully reflected in sound by
various instrumental combinations and textures.
Building to a brilliant climax, the brightest moment
is reached before dissipating slowly into a warm,
peaceful finish, as the light fades to darkness.
A stunning work.

H
InchonRobert W. Smith. Honoring the "forgotten
war," Robert W. Smith offers this significant work
in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Korean
conflict. It's beautifully scored to balance the
delicate oriental melodies with the dramatic and
frenzied passages that mirror the conflict. Colorfully
orchestrated, with percussion simulating the sound
of a helicopter landing and parts for piano and
alto flute (with cues for C flute), it is a thoroughly
stunning tonal collage. A significant, expansive
work, one which experienced concert bands will
proudly add to their repertoire. We give this our
highest recommendation!

The InfernoRobert W. Smith. Truly colossal!
This is the first movement of Robert Smith's epic
work "The Divine Comedy." Advanced groups will
welcome the challenges and reap the rewards
inherent in the piece. Very contemporary in
nature, The Inferno includes furious woodwind
ostinatos, huge blocks of sound, tremendous
percussion, and the imagery of Hell's inferno!
Not for the faint of heart.

H Irish Tune from County Derry/Shepherd's
HeyPercy Grainger/arr. Kent. Performable
either together or separately, the first selection
(more commonly known by the title Danny Boy) is a
masterful example of the pure beauty of sound and
melody, while Shepherd's Hey is a sprightly dance.

n Journey to the Lion's CastleRossano Galante.
Written in a grand film scoring fashion, this work
takes the listener on an exciting musical excursion
exploring various moods and styles. The impressive
opening strains feature woodwind flourishes and
powerful brass lines. A graceful and majestic
middle section offers a change of pace before the
ending segment drives to a breathtaking finish.

n Joy (from "Awakening")Joseph Curiale. This
positively overflows with joy! An outstanding work
for festival or concert programs, this is very worthy
of your consideration. Interesting metrical shifts,
bold statements, and well-placed playful motives
add up to an overall creative musical experience.
Elements of an "American" sound harkens to the
music of Copland, yet is found here distinctly fresh
and new. Taken from Curiale's orchestral work
"Awakening," with the optional harp part included.
Highly recommended!

n La Procession du RocioJoaquin Turina/arr.
Reed. Although a native of Spain, while studying
in Paris early in his career, composer Joaquin
Turina was influenced by the impressionistic
harmonies of Debussy and Ravel. Once he
returned to Spain, Turina also drew inspiration
from Spanish folk music with La Procession
du Rocio, which became one of his best-
known works. The music portrays a festival
and procession that takes place in the Triana
neighborhood of Seville, and is filled with
wonderful idiomatic Spanish elements. Alfred
Reed's marvelous 1962 transcription remains an
enduring keystone in the wind band repertoire.

l The Last CentaurRossano Galante. Composed
in the style of a grand and descriptive film score,
The Last Centaur is a musical depiction of a centaur
who is separated from his family by war, the
ensuing adventures, and ultimate reunion with his
family and friends. The music begins with a stately,
lyrical theme in the horns followed by solo oboe.
This main theme is then woven throughout the work
as it develops and grows with intensity. Sweeping
woodwind lines and majestic brass fanfares capture
the excitement of the drama and ultimate joyous
resolution. Powerful and evocative writing!

n Liberty FanfareJohn Williams/arr. Bocook. One
hundred years after the dedication of the Statue of
Liberty in 1886, John Williams was commissioned
to compose a fanfare for the re-dedication
ceremony. At this event, Mr. Williams led the
Boston Pops Orchestra in the first performance of
this work, which the composer described as a group
of American airs and tunes of his own invention.

n Liquid CompassAlex Shapiro. Continuing in the
tradition of innovative electroacoustic band works,
this work spans the mystical and the triumphant.
A connection to the sea is conveyed through metal
bowls filled with water, and flutists will particularly
enjoy the otherworldly "ooh-wah" effect they create.
This work migrates to many places, but never loses
its bearings in pursuit of a musical true north.

H Mannin VeenHaydn Wood. Originally published
in 1933, this outstanding tone poem, based on four
folk songs from the Isle of Man, is an outstanding
addition to any band library. Beginning with a
plaintive melody in the Dorian mode, then going
into a "fiddle tune," a very lyrical melody and then
a hymn, this is a superbly written work that is most
worthy of performance.

n MetalBrian Balmages. Metal may be used
as a concert opener or closer, and refers to two
different types of "metal." The first type is that
of the considerable use of metallic sounds in the
percussion section. The second inspiration actually
comes from the genre of "heavy metal." There are
several instances throughout the piece that suggest
a strong heavy metal influence. A truly unique piece
for mature ensembles.

Metroplex (Three Postcards from Manhattan)
Robert Sheldon. A dazzling view of the sites and
sounds of a dynamic city. Opening is a vision of the
tall buildings and concrete canyons of the New York
skyline, followed by an urban jazz scene in a club
in Harlem. The close is a wild taxi ride through the
heavy traffic of this fascinating city.

n Molly on the ShorePercy Grainger/arr. Rogers.
One of the most famous of the technical showpieces
for the mature band! Grainger ingeniously combines
two Cork Reels, Molly On The Shore and Temple
Hill in a setting which features Grainger's most
brilliant writing for winds. And making this edition
even more important is the full score, never before
available, which has been assembled by Mark
Rogers. Highly recommended!
