4 On a Catalonian CarolTraditional/arr.
Randall Standridge. This musical setting draws
on the beautiful melody of the traditional Catalan
carol to sculpt a touching concert work. The
lyric carol displays the stylish influences of
that country, evident in the flowing lines of the
touching melody. This arrangement is not a direct
transcription of the song but rather a carefully
scored rendition that supports and enhances the
original, allowing the simple beauty of the melody
to be placed on full display.

l On the Dread CoastClarence Barber.
Syncopated rhythms, fat chords, trombone
glissandi, and a compelling drive make this an
exciting work for bands. It can be played with as few
as four percussionists, or you can assign a player to
each instrument.

n Our Kingsland Spring (Flex Band)Samuel
R. Hazo. Samuel Hazo's very successful work for
younger players features a balance between light and
delicate writing contrasted with broad chorale-like
passages for the entire ensemble. This adaptation
by the composer now allows smaller bands to
experience the beauty of Our Kingsland Spring.

Our Kingsland Spring (Movement 1 of Georgian
Suite)Samuel Hazo. With flowing melodic
lines and creative scoring, this original work is a
welcome addition to the band repertoire. Sections
of light and delicate writing are skillfully alternated
with broad-sounding chorale passages that sound
more impressive and complex than their moderately
easy level of difficulty would indicate.

n Paper CutAlex Shapiro. Composer Alex
Shapiro's Paper Cut is reminiscent of a movie
soundtrack to which musicians can imagine their
own dramatic scene. Paper Cut is written to make
the players themselves part of the action with
choreographed maneuvers that look as compelling
as they sound. In fact, the band members don't
even play their instruments until halfway into
the work... instead they "play" paper along with
a prerecorded track (available as an mp3)! The
unusual element of paper and the myriad sounds
that can emerge from something so simple offers a
fresh view of what music-making can be and opens
everyone's ears to the sonic possibilities found
among everyday objects. The paper techniques
and the skill of playing against a prerecorded track
are interesting for all ages.

H Pevensey CastleRobert Sheldon. This minor-
key tone poem is suggestive of the historical times
surrounding the fall of Pevensey Castle in the
south of England during the Dark Ages. Written
in 3/4 time, this very imaginative and effective
piece is perfect for contest or concert use, offering
directors the opportunity to program music which
contains elements not usually found at this grade
level. Exceptional!

n Phasing ThunderBrian Balmages. The dynamic
energy of minimalism combines with the epic
sounds of thunderstorms in this contemporary and
powerful work. Opening with the haunting sounds
of vibraphone, piano, crystal glasses and ethereal
percussion, the music soon begins to naturally
phase in and out as the storm continues to grow.
Powerful lines collide with moments of delicate
transparency before a gentle rainstorm emerges
from within the ensemble. Stunning music!

inexperienced players. Includes: Promenade; The
Hut of Baba Yaga and The Great Gate of Kiev.

sounds difficult, it is very playable and will be a
reliable power source for your next performance.

composer of American Riversongs comes this
accomplished concert work based on two mid-

PulsationRichard L. Saucedo. Definitely an
enjoyable work that's off the beaten path! Written
entirely in one tempo, the meter alternates between
4/4 and 6/8 throughout, creating an ingenious effect
of pulsating motion along with layers of textures and
sounds. Starting with a soloistic dialogue between
flute and clarinet, the work progresses to thicker
sonorities and thrilling percussive effects including
clapping and shouting.

aggressive percussion undercurrent with powerful
riffs, clapping, stomping and other noisy effects, and

The Red Covered BridgeRobert Sheldon. A
red covered bridge is a local attraction in Priceton,
Illinois, that served as the inspiration for this lyrical
composition. The serene setting brings to mind
the many people who have crossed that bridge
in simpler times, and the stories of their lives.
This piece hopes to capture those moments of
reflection, joy, children playing, and powerful
moments of resolve.

l Reflections from the WallDavid Shaffer. This
commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the
end of the Vietnam War was inspired by a visit to
the Vietnam War Memorial and the power of this
spectacular monument. Opening with a simple
depiction of a cloud-covered morning, it broadens
into a dramatic and powerful presentation as the
sun triumphantly breaks through the clouds.
Emotion, reflection and a sincere thanks to those
who served are the driving musical elements of this
powerful piece.
