n An American ElegyFrank Ticheli. A reaffirm-
ation of the strength of the human spirit, this
expansive elegy was composed in memory of those
who lost their lives at Columbine High School, and
to honor the survivors. It's graceful and gentle in
its harmonic structure, yet musically probes for a
deeper meaning. At the end, a simple, thoughtful
solo for trumpet precedes a broad crescendo that
lifts our hopes and quells our fears. A strikingly
beautiful work both in meaning and in music!

H American FacesDavid Holsinger. Displaying
America's exuberance, pioneering spirit and
underlying faith, this driving overture uses many
diverse themes, both original and borrowed. The
work is not a patriotic medley, but rather a tribute
to the various qualities that make up the "faces" of
America. The piece is full of Holsinger's metrical
wizardry and dynamic surprises. Outstanding!

An American FanfareRick Kirby. This dynamic
concert opener takes the normally hymn-like
strains of America (My Country 'Tis of Thee) and
incorporates it into a fast and energetic fanfare.
The actual melody is stated only once in its
entirety. Many liberties are taken with both melodic
and harmonic elements of the original, making a
breathtaking presentation!

n American FlourishRobert W. Smith. An
excellent programming choice that's easy to
prepare and extremely effective! Based on
traditional American melodies Yankee Doodle,
When Johnny Comes Marching Home and
Shenandoah, this thrilling setting is a musically
substantive addition to the repertoire. Perfect as
a concert opener or any concert that requires an
American patriotic selection.

H American Folk Rhapsody No. 1Clare
Grundman. The first of four American Folk
Rhapsodies, this superb work, originally written in
1948, is a wonderful example of both U.S. school
band literature and the exceptional writing/arranging
skills of Clare Grundman. Including: My Little Mohee
(more commonly known as On Top of Old Smokey);
Shantyman's Life; Sourwood Mountain and Sweet
Betsy from Pike, this is an outstanding, proven work
for both concert and contest.

exceptionally nice work!

marvelous work is a moving tribute to an earlier
time, when our rivers and other waterways were the
lifelines of our growing nation. Featuring Down The
River; Shenandoah (Across The Wide Missouri); The
Glendy Burk and a delightful Creole bamboula tune,
this piece is an inspiring program selection that will
give an emotional, nostalgic touch to your program.

4 Appalachian DreamsRoland Barrett. Two
English folk songs, popular in the southern
Appalachians during the early years of American
history, provide the melodic material for this epic
work. Going to Boston and Soldier, Won't You Marry
Me? are heard throughout in various forms. After the
very peaceful and tranquil opening, a bold, powerful
statement is made, then leads to a dreamlike,
mesmerizing section. With a powerful percussion
contribution, the ensemble then combines forces,
driving to a resounding conclusion.

4 Appalachian Spring (Excerpts from)Aaron
Copland/arr. Robert Longfield. In this edition
for concert band, Robert Longfield has skillfully
adapted the most striking and beautiful sections
from the orchestral suite. The work ranges in scope
from delicate and soloistic to the overpowering
force of the full ensemble, culminating with
Copland's signature setting of Simple Gifts. A
wonderful opportunity for band members and their
audiences to enjoy this beloved music from one of
America's pre-eminent composers.

n Arabian DancesBrian Balmages. Explore
Middle Eastern sounds with this work that combines
authentic traditional melodies and rhythms with
original music. After a haunting opening, authentic
Middle Eastern percussion instruments create the
groove that accompanies the folk song Ala Dal'ona.
As the orchestration builds, original themes are
intertwined before the percussion ensemble
becomes the focus of the third section. The final
melody, Tafta Hindi, develops until it morphs into
an ostinato over a magnificent presentation of the
original theme that is found throughout the work.
A riveting ending brings this thrilling work to a
dynamic close!

n Ascend (Movement III of "Georgian Suite")
Samuel Hazo. Driving and energetic, this work
is designed to sound great with developing bands.
The combination of mixed meters and syncopation
gives the main theme a unique edge, and there is a
brief three-part fugue woven into the texture of the
piece. It is sure to provide a rewarding and varied
musical experience for your players!

H Be Thou My Visionarr. David Gillingham. It's
not often you come across a composition that offers
the high level of musical merit needed to appeal to
directors and also offers an emotional depth able
to truly move an audience. This is such a piece.
Gillingham bases his reverent and powerful work on
the hymn tune Be Thou My Vision (also known as
the old Irish ballad Slane), with its eternal message
of faith and hope. It goes far beyond being an
arrangement of a familiar hymn tune, as Gillingham
gives moments of real drama in the shimmering
tonal colors provided by the woodwinds and the
glorious brass lines that break through like dazzling
sunlight through the clouds. It's the kind of work
you will want your band to experience. We
