n Asian Folk Rhapsodyarr. Richard Saucedo.
Here's a creative and moving suite of folk songs
from China, Japan and Korea! Set in three distinct
movements, it opens with the lively, upbeat
Chinese song, The Bamboo Flute, beautiful in
its simplicity. The second movement is the slow
and lyrical Japanese song, Sakura, and the finale
is a lively version of the Korean song Ahrirang.
Three enjoyable songs that make a great addition
to any performance!

4 The Banks of the DelawareStuart P. O'Neil.
A distinct blend of woodland and prairie, the
northeast region of Kansas is among the most
beautiful in the state, and the Delaware River
is one of many meandering through its lush and
rolling landscape. This piece opens with a clarinet
solo that builds into the full ensemble. This lyrical
setting is reminiscent of American folk music.
Ample doubling of parts is provided for bands with
less than ideal instrumentation.

Black Is the ColorRobert Sheldon. The
traditional folksong used as the basis of this setting
was first known in the Appalachian Mountains of
the United States, but most probably originated in
Scotland. It is a poignant song about a girl who is
waiting for her lover to return from sea. This stunning
setting brings out the emotional content and makes
a moving contribution to young band repertoire.

by the bedroom community to New York City, this
vibrant overture musically reflects the tranquility

theme with a chorale section reuniting the sections
before building to a frenzied conclusion. A very
descriptive look at life in modern times.

Clarinets Packing Up EarlyGary Fagan.
Everyone will have fun with this novelty piece that's
easy to prepare and easy to perform. Surprise the
audience as your clarinet players gradually remove
one section of their instrument at a time. As the
piece progresses, the instruments become smaller
and smaller until the main theme they carry is totally
absent. Great programming fun for concerts and
recruiting performances!

glacial streams of the Rocky Mountains. It then

l CosmosGregory Rudgers. The programmatic
theme of this evocative work brings the world of
science into the concert hall. Using the Big Bang as
the primary element of inspiration, the main theme
is stated boldly, followed by echoes of the original
explosion. Eerie sounds and plaintive melodies
suggest the emptiness of space before the music
comes alive as the planets, stars, and galaxies spin
through the universe in an extravagant and light-
filled dance.
