n Foundry—John Mackey. The first piece for band
at this grade level by this popular and most creative
composer. The concept of this fascinating work is
to introduce percussionists to the idea that there
are more imaginative ways to perform other than
with the traditional percussion instruments. Using
"found" percussion instruments in addition to
creative wind parts, the piece creates a life of its
own to the delight of musicians and audiences!

4 Lightning Field—John Mackey. Inspired by a
massive work of art in which steel rods are placed
over a large expanse of desert, drawing lightning
strikes and creating powerful man-made electrical
storms. This work draws on the ancient impulse to
summon nature's power and a strong feeling of barely
contained energy ripples throughout, enhanced by
using thunder sticks to create the sound of man-
made thunder surrounding the audience.

l Peace—Frank Ticheli. The glow and quiet of
a quiet and starlit night opens this tranquil work

amid the gentle tolling of far off bells. The music

traverses changing landscapes. Throughout the

a feeling of assurance and aspiration as well as
peace and tranquility.

is equally at home with mature ensembles. A
gorgeous and colorful work!
