H Emmanuel VariantsRobert E. Foster. Serving a
dual purpose as a contest piece or as a real tour de
force on a Christmas concert, Emmanuel Variants
is an exceptionally innovative setting of the ancient
and well known Christmas carol O Come, O Come
Emmanuel. Beginning with a stirring brass fanfare
leading into a quiet, meditative setting of the hymn,
a series of developments utilizing different voicings,
rhythmic treatments and harmonic developments
follows. This most appealing treatment then
concludes with a return of the brass fanfare for a
brilliant finale!

n EvocatioBrian Balmages. Drawing on some
of the composer's early influences, including
John Barnes Chance and Ottorino Respighi, this
mature and powerful work explores the dark and
mystical while adding elements of intensity and
relentless energy. Composed in three sections, an
underlying sense of tension is present throughout
before the final minutes erupt triumphantly
in a fury of aggression and sound. Not for the
faint of heart!

This joyful original concert piece pushes forward
from beginning to end, interrupted only briefly in

l Fantasia on Bogoroditse Devoarr. Frederick
Speck. Inspired by the beautiful choral original,
the chant-like gracefulness of the melodic source
serves as the musical cornerstone. The music
unfolds from a quiet opening, inviting the listener
into a distant, reserved first statement of the main
melody. The work then develops as a broad arch,
becoming increasingly vivid until an exuberant
arrival and release by the full ensemble. A very nice
setting for mature bands.

H First Suite in E FlatGustav Holst/ed. Matthews.
Widely acclaimed as the first major wind band
composition of the 20th century, this excellent
work, which has served as a model for the modern
concert band repertoire, is as fresh today as when
it was first written. No band library can be called
complete unless it contains this monumental work.

Composed in Shostakovich's light-hearted style,

exuberance of the Russian people. The many folk

energy abounds and the spirit of folk dances can
easily be imagined. A most enjoyable work!

l For The President's OwnJohn Williams. While
noted as one of the greatest of film composers,
John Williams also has a special relationship
with the United States Marine Band. This work,
described as a "curtain raiser," was composed
in honor of the band's 215th anniversary. It's a
spirited work that offers virtuosic challenges for
every section and is a stunning addition to the
repertoire of mature bands.

Bernstein/trans. Polster. Scherzo, Mambo, Cha-
Cha and Fugue are the dance movements which

4 FuriosoGary P. Gilroy. Wild and passionate,
mature ensembles will love this challenging work.
The tempos and dynamic ranges are extreme,
fueling an intense and persistent energy. Aided by
constantly shifting meters, the nervous energy and
pulse builds to a crashing climax that subsides into
a "smoking fuse" section. This then reignites the
introductory material, only faster now, to bring this
exhilarating work to a fantastic close.

n FusionBrian Balmages. Just as the title
suggests, this three-movement contemporary work
draws from various types of pop music and dance
forms and sets them in a symphonic framework.
The opening movement, Overture, is a short fanfare
based loosely around Irish dance rhythms and
melodies. The second movement, Ballad, gets its
inspiration from a variety of aspects of pop ballads.
Fusion, the final movement, is a combination of
rock, funk, swing and classical music in a modern
setting. Intense and driving!

n Ghost Train-Complete (Score and parts)Eric
Whitacre. An extremely programmatic work that tells
a story from American folklore of a supernatural train
that roars throughout the Western United States.
The first movement, Ghost Train, is rich in effects in
describing the locomotive. The second movement,
At the Station, replaces the vivid train sounds
with more abstract ideas in depicting departing
passengers. The third movement, Motive Revolution,
has the train resuming its ghostly journey.

H Ghost Train-Movement 1 (Score and parts)
Eric Whitacre. One of the most popular works of
modern band literature; the first movement is
a very effective program piece. Resplendent in
compositional effects that describe a spectral
steam locomotive with the eerie sound of a
train whistle, the gradual start of journey and its
relentless movement throughout the countryside.
A true classic!

GloriaRandol Alan Bass. Originally composed
for full orchestra and chorus, Gloria is a splendid
transcription of one of the most critically acclaimed
works written for the holiday season. The setting
contains multi-metric, dance-like rhythmic sections
contrasted with passages of singing, romantic
lyricism. A true masterwork!

n GlorianaJay Bocook. Gloriana, commissioned
by Furman University for the inauguration of its
12th president, is based on The Faerie Queene, an
incomplete English epic poem written by Edmund
Spenser and dedicated to Queen Elizabeth I. In the
poem, Queen Elizabeth is represented as the faerie
queen herself, Gloriana. This stately work for winds
and percussion contains a regal quality enhanced
by soaring melodies and punctuated with fanfare-
like brass figures. The optional organ part provides
an added dimension to the overall uplifting effect.

that a concert has just begun! Dynamic brass
hits, woodwind runs, shimmering chorales and
percussion breaks keep both the player and the
listener on the edge of their seats during this tour-
de-force overture. Guaranteed to raise the heart
rate of anyone within earshot!

God's CountryRossano Galante. From the
most statuesque mountain ranges to our grandest
waterfalls, this sweeping composition depicts the
picturesque landscapes that have existed since the

n Goddess of FireSteven Reineke. Once again
composer Steven Reineke brings us a work of
profound impact. The mysterious and intriguing
opening draws the listener into a dazzling world
of symphonic colors as tribal percussion hints of
ancient traditions and rituals. Sections of beautiful
melodic content serve as a backdrop to the intense
and almost savage character of the fierce 10/8
development. A masterful work that will leave a
lasting impression.

n Godzilla Eats Las VegasEric Whitacre. An
original work best described in the composer's
own words as being "really out there." The
writing reflects a keen interest in theater, film and
television, with the structure of the piece being very
film-like in its very rapid changes of style. A totally
unique and very memorable work.

4 Groovy LoopsJ. Scott McKenzie. This short,
energetic, and jazzy piece is a lot of fun to play
and listen to. The title refers to repeated patterns
and phrases that provide support for the melodies
and intertwined syncopated lines. A large palette
of colors with moving lines, percussive effects, and
rich harmonies make this an essential part of every
band's library!

H Gum-Suckers MarchPercy Grainger/arr. Mark
Rogers. This delightful work is "pure" Grainger!
Originally the final movement of his suite "In a
Nutshell," Grainger rescored this piece for Military
Band, Piano and Tuneful Percussion. Written in his
most popular English "music hall" style, you'll find
lots of those wonderful "Grainger-isms" here, along
with some substantial difficulty.
