H A Movement for RosaMark Camphouse.
This emotional, moving work was written to honor
Rosa Parks, whose contribution to desegregation
still stands today. Not only are strength and
determination depicted, but also the harsh realities
of the times. An important work in the repertoire.

n No Shadow of TurningDavid Gillingham. This
is the kind of setting we have come to expect from
this creative composer. Using the hymn Great Is
Thy Faithfulness as a basis, we are treated to a
variety of musical settings including a very effective
section featuring handbells. Mallet percussion can
be equally effective if handbells are not available.

Nulli Secundus ("second to none") is a suite of three
variations based on the Armenian folk song Cilicia
(My Homeland).

n OlympiadaSamuel Hazo. An explosive
rendering of the vigor and stamina exhibited at
the Olympic Games! Opening with a tam-tam and
a fanfare of brass, the sound is big enough to fill
an arena! The low brass and the basses move this
one forward with adrenaline, and it's a great way to
showcase your percussion section, too. Relentless,
driving rhythms bring us through the struggle and
the fanfare returns, signaling the end of the struggle
and triumphant victory. Powerful!

n PacificaRobert Buckley. The idea for Pacifica
came from an automobile trip down the coastal
road of the west coast of North America from
Vancouver to San Francisco. This area is alive with
stunning vistas, pristine beaches and animal life.
The composer was watching the eagles soaring
overhead and wondered what all of this would look
like from the eagle's perspective - through the eyes
of an eagle. Experience the mighty Pacific coast
from an entirely new perspective.

l Panopticon RisingRalph Ford. This highly
original contemporary composition opens
with an unassuming docile theme that is soon
replaced with driving tutti components furiously
depicting a vividly punctuated theme. Passive
melodies surface occasionally, building to an
uncompromising and emphatic conclusion. Vivid
percussion contributes to the overpowering effect
of this energy-packed composition.

ParkourSamuel R. Hazo. Combining brash and
aggressive rhythmic figures along with more gentle
moments and inventive textures, this impressive
work is truly a standout for advanced bands. The
piece is built around a four-note motif, which is
developed and expanded throughout. The middle
section features more of a jazzy flavor with saxes
in the spotlight accompanied by finger snaps.
The rhythmic intensity returns, building towards a
glorious full ensemble affirmation and bringing this
exciting work to a powerful conclusion.

H PastimeJack Stamp. This musical home run
is no lightweight piece of music! Although the
composition is loosely woven around motives from
the familiar Take Me Out To The Ballgame, it's a
fascinating, intricate and entertaining concert work.
The composer has a lot of fun in the first segment
of the piece working in hidden musical "salutes"
to various baseball players, and the balance of the
work is described as a "contrapuntal tour de force."
Play ball!

n Pilatus: Mountain of DragonsSteven Reineke.
This ten-minute work, on the easy side of the
medium-advanced level, successfully conveys
the awe-inspiring grandeur of Pilatus mountain in
Switzerland. It opens with the brass slowly blowing
air through their instruments, as if to simulate the
mountain wind, or perhaps the breath of dragons!
A compelling work!

n Raging MachinesBrian Balmages. Hold on
for the ride of a lifetime with this thrilling musical
roller coaster! Portraying machines gone awry,
massive sounds and textures pour from every
section. Eventually, the music comes to rest
in a lyrical section, while retaining the original
intensity. The final portion reintroduces several
mechanical elements, along with new material,
as aggression takes over one more time in a fury
of sound.

n RideSamuel Hazo. Vibrant and full of energy!
From the first note, the relentless pace and
invigorating metrical shifts demand the complete
attention of the audience. With a large battery of
percussion and dynamic wind parts, the feeling
of continuous motion is achieved. Yet, as a
testimony to the skill of the composer, the themes
have a certain melodiousness and flowing quality
that add depth and appeal to the work. This is
an outstanding composition to be added to the
repertoire of mature bands.

H River of LifeSteven Reineke. We urge you to
look at this important work! This composer is the
resident composer for the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra
and we feel that this is an incredible composition...
the highs, the lows, the development, the scoring,
the transitions, the themes...all point to a piece that
must be given a place in the band repertoire. Best
of all, is that this work will appeal on several levels,
the melodies and rhythms immediately grab you,
but on a deeper level, the composer's skill is quite
evident. Our highest recommendations!
