American BarndanceRichard L. Saucedo.
Rhythmic and energetic, this lively work contains
elements of an early American character that
features a poignant, calmer section with lighter
texture and interlaced lyric motifs. Building to
a dramatic peak with a powerful and majestic
statement by the full ensemble, it then becomes
more frenzied with mixed meters and relentless
percussion figures, racing to an exciting conclusion.
Filled with humor and creativity, this unique work will
easily find a place in contest or festival repertoire.

n An American ElegyFrank Ticheli. A
reaffirmation 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!

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.

n 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

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!

l The Armed Man (Movement 1 from "The
Armed Man: A Mass for Peace")Karl Jenkins/
arr. Robert Longfield. This noted Welsh composer
dedicated his landmark Mass to the victims of the
1998-1999 war in Kosovo, and more recently it's
been associated with remembrances of 9/11. The
French Renaissance song L'Homme Arme serves
as the basis for this movement, beautifully adapted
here for standard concert band instrumentation.
With its relentless pulse and haunting strains, this
is a dramatically emotional and riveting work.

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!

4 At the End of the RainbowRichard L.
Saucedo. The title refers to the ongoing quest
in which we all embark when trying to find our
place in the world, and the music takes us on a
journey of varied moods and styles. The stark and
dramatic opening unison statement introduces a
lighthearted and spirited 12/8 section that bubbles
with rhythmic vitality. Beautifully paired with a lyric
middle section that builds to an emotional climax,
the fast 12/8 section returns for an exciting and
energized finish.

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 are proud to give this our
highest recommendation!

Beyond the HorizonRossano Galante.
A dynamic composition of broad scope and colorful

majestic brass fanfares and sweeping melodic
lines, this is a work of memorable content.

with energy and anticipation, this musical
adventure stirs up images of nature's most
majestic landscapes and mountain ranges.
The ascent begins with a majestic call-and-
response theme divided among the sections,
chasing after one another. Lighter versions of
the themes follow, signifying the discovery of a

and excitement continues to build, hinting that the
adventure will continue.
