e Engines of Resistance—Larry Clark. You will
want to program this thrilling music often! As the

as a full orchestra. A contest winner!

events of the war. Robert W. Smith has captured
that excitement and set it to music that will thrill

orchestra is so expertly used that the listeners

whistles, the clang of bells and the frenzied
chugging of overworked engines down to the
desperate last gasps!

e Millennium—Richard Meyer. Winner of the
1998 N.S.O.A. composition contest, this
contemporary-sounding overture is extremely
powerful and full of emotion from beginning to
end. After a foreboding introduction, the heroic
main theme is introduced by the brass section in
unison, accompanied by the entire orchestra in a
percussive, marcato style. A lyrical subordinate
theme of extreme beauty follows, first stated
by unison cellos, then picked up by the entire
orchestra. The third and final section is a wild and
energetic march, pitting brass against woodwinds
and strings, leading into a final, majestic
restatement of the main theme. Richard Meyer's
colorful and imaginative scoring features every
section of the symphony orchestra, resulting in a
wonderfully mature-sounding, yet playable, tour
de force for the student orchestra.

Carl Rydlund. Experience the high seas with this

of glissando cello harmonics simulating the sound
of seagulls on a desert island. Includes optional
parts for your concert band members as well (not
playable by concert band alone).

He Rites of Tamburo—Robert W. Smith. Entrancing
instrumental colors burst into splashes of energy
from the brass and rhythm sections, biting
dissonances abound, and a constant surge of
excitement flows through the piece. There's even
a measure where the brass are invited to "pick-a-
note" as they crescendo into a resolving chord...
a really neat effect!
2440741 String Orch or Full Orch . . . M 65.00
e Second Storm—Robert W. Smith. Inspired
by the devastating hurricane season during the
summer of 2004, this begins with a melodic "calm
before the storm" introduction; and as the fury of
Mother Nature is unleashed, the work develops

figures to capture the intensity of the event in
sound. Your intermediate orchestra will sound big
and bold.
