4 Autumn Reflections—Steve Hodges. As the
warm days of summer pass and the chill of winter
is on the horizon, we tend to pause and reflect
on what has passed and what lies ahead. The
floating lines and evocative harmonies depict
these thoughtful reflections as well as the joy of
abundance found during this season.

Colliding Visions—Brian Balmages. A beautiful
melody and lovely suspensions begin this well-
written work. Playful themes then set the tone for
a bright allegro section. The two styles collide as
the allegro abruptly ends as the opening theme
returns and then fades to a whisper.

story, from the initial sighting, to the vigorous
comet ride, to moments when the voyagers are
struck by the sheer beauty and awe of being
amongst the stars. What wonderful music to
spark your band's imagination!

everywhere.

4e Expectations—Larry Clark. After a lush opening
with a touch of sentimentality, the music heads
off into a carefree journey with a bouncy bass line
and jaunty air. The opening material reappears at
times, serving as a musical glue to connect the
various sections for a completely enjoyable work
for young musicians.

4 Fanfare on a Theme of Imagination—Brian
Balmages. "Knowledge is limited. Imagination
encircles the world." This powerful quote by
Albert Einstein provides the inspiration behind
this fanfare that celebrates creativity in schools.
A majestic opening leads into a dynamic and
fast-paced section that continues to build in
energy until the final massive series of chordal
statements. Powerful and inspiring!

He Furioso—Robert W. Smith. Magnificent! A
superior "first serious piece" for your young band,
this overture is filled with all the vigor and passion
you'd expect from the title! Terrific teaching
opportunities abound, including a chance to work
on independent parts (with doublings to ensure
success), optional trombone glissandos and a
few eighth note passages to develop technique.
The expanded percussion and solidly scored
parts are sure to build confidence. An exciting
work! Very highly recommended!

ett's Simple Gifts)—arr. James Swearingen.

popular folk song Simple Gifts, will allow your
beginning band to sound amazing in their first

4 Harbinger—Robert Sheldon. A "harbinger"
signals the approach of something, so this
piece would be a terrific way to begin your next
concert! With all the drama and intensity of a
much more advanced piece, it is very playable
by less experienced musicians. Soaring melodies
contrast rhythmic pulses to create a musical
landscape that will inspire and exhilarate.

Haunted Clocks—Brian Balmages. Simple
aleatoric devices and clever effects combine
to tell the story of a haunted clock factory and
its mischievous inhabitants. Beginning with
the sound of a single clock, additional clocks
seemingly come to life and join in, creating
a chorus of clock effects including wind-up,
grandfather and cuckoo clocks. The Dies Irae is
presented throughout in various altered versions,
adding to the somewhat diabolical nature of the
scene. Extremely unique and inventive!

H Imperium—Michael Sweeney. Very rarely does
a composition come along that sounds so right!
Contemporary harmonies, vivid contrasts and exci-
ting percussion are so perfectly blended that you
can hardly believe the sounds you hear are being
produced by a band of beginners. This easy-to-
play, dramatic overture offers an extremely reward-
ing and memorable musical experience for begin-
ning bands and we recommend it very highly!

James Swearingen. When looking for well-scored
music that is highly inspirational, you can't do
better than this. An impressive opening features

strong message of hope. This piece will have an
impact that will be long remembered.

4e Magellan—Sean O'Loughlin. This music is all
about exploration, discovery and adventure!
The first notes create a feeling of the dawn of
discovery and set up the main melodic thread
that appears throughout. Following are fanfare-
like gestures contrasted with the slower sounds
of mystery before the final and triumphant sound
of discovery. A treasure of cross-curricular
teaching opportunities.
