H ArabesqueSamuel R. Hazo. This stunning
work is a tour de force of Middle Eastern sounds
for the contemporary wind band. From delicate and
sensual soloistic writing to full-blown ensemble
passages with rapid-fire tutti rhythms and frenzied
percussion, here is a rewarding piece of drama and
depth that will be the high point of any concert or
festival program.

H The AscensionRobert W. Smith. This expansive
work is further evidence that Robert W. Smith has
arrived in the world of serious band literature. A
programmatic work based on Dante Alighieri's
"The Divine Comedy," this is the third movement
in Robert's four-movement symphony depicting
Alighieri's work. This fascinating work truly deserves
the consideration of upper level ensembles.

n Backstage PassBrian Balmages. Inspired by
the many sounds, styles and moods of Broadway,
this entertaining piece was funded by the family of
drummer Kyle Woodring. The music serves as a
backstage pass to his career and, in the style of a
typical Broadway overture, takes the listener through
a series of styles and melodies. Spectacular!

H Blue ShadesFrank Ticheli. Absolutely fascinating!
The composer has created a work that combines his
love of jazz and the blues with his own contemporary
style. Although there is a strong allusion to the
blues and a jazz feeling is prevalent, this is not a
literal "Blues" piece. Blues harmonies, rhythms and
melodic idioms do pervade the work, and many
"shades of blue" are heard, from bright and dark to
dirty and hot. It's a demanding work that will require
strong players in every section of the band.

n Bridge of the GodsJames Curnow. A dramatic
three-movement symphonic poem presenting the
colorful legend of the Native American Klickitatst
about the origins of the volcanic mountains of the
Cascade range and legendary bridge. The first
movement "Saghalie" pays tribute to the powerful
chief of all gods and is based on a majestic fanfare
theme. The second movement captures the beauty
of the maiden "Loowit" with haunting flute and
english horn solos accompanied by soft chanting
voices. The final movement "Tanmahawis"
utilizes stark clusters, jagged melodic fragments
and rhythmic percussive energy as it depicts the
destruction of the mighty bridge.

n A Celebration OvertureBruce Broughton. This
thrilling "tour-de-force" concert opener is really an
extended fanfare, opening with an energetic brass
and percussion motif that forms the basis for the
piece. A contrasting lyrical section appears in brief
after the opening statement and once again before
the final push to the end. Exhilarating!

n Children of GaiaRobert Sheldon. Tell the colorful
tale of Gaia, sometimes referred to as Mother Nature,
a primordial deity in Ancient Greek mythology. This
dramatic work for concert band represents three of
her children that were of great importance to the
ancient Greeks. You'll hear descriptive sounds of the
fearsome Typhon, the water goddess Tethys, and the
menacing Enceladus.

Percy Grainger/arr. Erickson. This exceptional,
sparkling work holds an honored place in

throughout, the wonderful vitality of Grainger's
writing makes for a truly memorable musical
experience. The piano, timpani and percussion
parts contribute a special flair to this outstanding
piece, which is certain to be enthusiastically
received by all who play and hear it!

H Chorale and Shaker DanceJohn Zdechlik.
A superb selection for any contest or concert
program. Comprised of two main musical ideas, one
of which is the familiar Shaker hymn 'Tis The Gift
To Be Simple, this is an exceptionally interesting,
mildly contemporary, quite playable and deservedly
popular work. Also available is a Teaching-Learning

l CitadelJames Barnes. Composed to
commemorate the 150th anniversary of the
University of Kansas, this striking work begins
with optional offstage chimes (one or two sets)
to depict the daily ringing of the campus bells.
Trumpets then introduce a brilliant, fanfare-like
figure that quickly evolves into the opening theme.
As the music settles, a saxophone choir introduces
a slower, more pensive middle theme describing
the university's academic nature. The chimes and
fanfare then return to end the work in a dramatic
outburst of sound and color.

H Colas Breugnon (Overture)Dmitri Kabalevsky/
trans. Hunsberger. This fabulous overture from the
1930's contains a pulsating and driving rhythmic
force, perfectly balanced by the flowing secondary
theme. As transcriber, Donald Hunsberger
describes, "the orchestral colors are in a class of
their own, ranging from overwhelming fortissimos
to chamber effects to raucous splashes of wind and
percussion energy."

4 Concerto No. 1Richard L. Saucedo. This
spectacular showcase features the entire ensemble
rather than just a single soloist. Throughout the
dynamic work you'll hear passages that highlight
the playing of the entire ensemble. While there are
"concerto"-type moments for solo instruments,
you'll hear featured chamber groups as well.
The horn section is also featured prominently
throughout this profound selection.

n Cossak DanceTchaikovsky/trans. Bourgeois.
This wonderful transcription comes from the only
comic opera written by Tchaikovsky, "The Slippers."
Opening with a short, stately fanfare before bursting
into a flurry of rhythmic activity, the music depicts
energetic Ukrainian dancers. A true programming
jewel for accomplished bands. Colorful and lively!

l Dancing on WaterFrank Ticheli. This delightful
and bubbling work is an exuberant dance that
exudes expressive feelings of unbridled joy. Even
the broad and sustained song melody is supported
by playfully crisp rhythmic figures reflective of
the opening dance. A powerfully exultant ending
provides a spirited finish to this wonderfully vibrant
and joyous work.

Danzas CubanasRobert Sheldon. Hold on
to your hats, you're in for a wild ride! Three
original dance-like movements make up this fiery

Originally written for orchestra, Danzon No. 2 has
enjoyed significant popularity on performance

passionate rhythms later.
