n Where Eagles SoarSteven Reineke. The
majesty, beauty and strength of the eagle's
flight is portrayed with sensitivity and skill in
this uplifting work! This is a simply magnificent
piece that sits on the upper side of the medium-
easy level due to some brief flourishes in the
woodwind parts, but the result is spectacular.
Each section is shown in a favorable light,
with idiomatic parts that show off what they do
best. Not only would this open any concert with
distinction, but it's a natural choice to take to
festival as well. Outstanding!

WhiplashRandall D. Standridge. Young bands
will explore rhythmic and motivic development in a
thrilling and exciting manner. The title has a double
meaning, referring first to the breakneck tempo,
and second to the sharp report of the whip cracking
throughout the piece. All this combines to make a
thoroughly exhilarating experience for students,
conductors and audiences!

l The Winds of ChangeJared Spears. A musical
fantasy depicting the wide range of the wind's
character that occurs throughout the year. It opens
with a gentle breeze blowing across a prairie,
followed by clouds, thunder, lightning and rain.
Lots of contrast from beautiful little melodies of the
lonesome prairie to big, brash percussive storm
sounds. Brilliant and accessible!

l The Witching HourRandall Standridge. Eerie
and macabre, the music recreates the time of night
when dark forces appear, gathering together for a
night of celebration and mischief. Four sections are
introduced by the ringing of bells, much like the
tolling of church bells late at night, casting a spell
over musicians and audiences alike.

n With Every Winter's BreathRandall D.
Standridge. In this moving tribute piece, the
composer has created a breathtakingly gorgeous
band work inspired by the idea that even after
death, a person's memory can inspire, comfort, and
influence our daily lives. A poignant original melody
and Go Tell it on a Mountain are both effectively
used to memorialize Maddie Milner, a trumpet
player in the Bayfield, CO High School band, who
passed on doing what she loved in a skiing accident
her freshman year. Your students and audience will
surely get emotionally involved with every aspect of
this stunning work!

H With Quiet CourageLarry Daehn. This glowing
tone poem is wonderful for teaching phrasing and
tone, and audiences love it! Premiered by the U.S.
Navy Band, it is technically not hard, but offers
the opportunity to draw an incredible amount of
emotion from the notes. Heartfelt and beautiful!

n Within the Castle Walls (Songs of Welsh
Revolution)Brian Balmages. A collection
of Welsh tunes make up this four-movement
suite for developing bands. The first movement,
"A Mighty Warrior," is bold and brave, like the
hero it describes, with a strong Celtic feel. "Over
the Stone" is the reverent and reserved second
movement. A stately and majestic theme is
heard in "Men of Harlech." The suite concludes
with "Owain Glyndwr's War Song," which is a
Celtic military style march. A strong piece for any
concert program.

of two Arkansas towns devastated by a tornado
in 1952. Dr. Karrick retells the story, moving from
quietness to havoc, and incorporating the beautiful
old hymn, What Wondrous Love Is This. A grand
synthesis of beauty, drama and the aleatoric.

crisp scoring and a constant rhythmic drive
energetically propel this fresh new take on Yankee
Doodle from start to finish. Your students will rally

meters and engaging parts for all instruments. It
works equally well as an opener or a closer.

H Yorkshire BalladJames Barnes. This is
unusually nice, and can be exceptionally effective
for concert or contest! It's a very solidly scored, rich,
lyrical, lush setting of a typical English folk ballad
that contains flowing countermelodies throughout
which are of equal importance to the melody.
A perfect contrast to a bolder, more vigorous
selection, this quite playable work will present your
band in a most positive way!

4 A Zillion NickelsSamuel R. Hazo. When you
look out at the ocean, what does it resemble? This
unique, driving composition paints that picture. The
upper Atlantic beaches hold many stories, from
beautifully scenic sunrises to the wrath of hurricane
Sandy. Three high schools in Toms River, New
Jersey commissioned this musical depiction of their
celebrated shore, from joy to turbulence. The heavy
emphasis on percussion only adds to the exciting
build and powerful ending!

addition brings a unique and emotional mood to
the overall effect.

This moving piece is the lullaby-like concluding aria
from "Final Alice," the fifth of six large works for
soprano and orchestra based on Lewis Carroll's
"Alice in Wonderland" books. This arrangement
for band is designed to be playable by a wide
variety of groups and is appropriate for large or
small ensembles. The gentle melody, heartrending
harmonies and artful instrumental voicing give this
piece a truly timeless feel.

4 Action BrassBrian Sadler. Originally written for
brass ensemble, this setting for concert band has
all the excitement of an action film score. Heroic
fanfares start the action followed by a middle
section with a contrasting dark, narrative theme.
The action then picks up, accelerating into a
triumphant brass fanfare with woodwind flourishes
for a glorious finale!

n AdagioDavid Holsinger. Composed in memory
of a departed friend, this work is an intensely
emotional synthesis of both joy and pain, the result
being a beauty touched with sadness similar to
the effect achieved by Albinoni's famous Adagio.
Also similar with that work is its large arch form,
which culminates with a broad full band statement
of the theme set against a proud counterstatement
in the horn section. On either side of the arch is
a long, expressive crescendo/decrescendo built
upon a rising bass line almost like a passacaglia.
A beautiful tribute!

n The Adventures of Kid Cam, the Rocket-
man!David R. Holsinger. This exciting,
energetic work comes from Holsinger's "GrandKid
Suite", in which he has captured his grandson's
obsession with anything that flies - be it airplane,
helicopter, or... super hero! After a bold, dramatic
opening, the soaring super hero theme takes off.
Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Kid
Cam, the Rocketman!

H All Glory ToldJames Swearingen. This
composition is destined to become a blockbuster!
Jim Swearingen's music is popular the world
over, and All Glory Told will take its place with
the best of them. Stirring and emotional, it starts
with effective on-stage and off-stage trumpet
solos. An exciting vivace section is full of the
mixed meter magic you've come to expect, but
the lyrical sections show a sensitivity that goes
beyond Jim's previous compositions. And the
ending...well, all we can say is you owe it to
yourself to try it! Highest recommendations!
