l Resplendent LightTyler S. Grant. This serene
and introspective work is based on self-reflection
and the need to block out the noise of the world.
It is a magical and harmonically sophisticated work
that is quite playable, yet offers a wealth of musical
opportunities. Derived from the tenth chapter of
Thoreau's Walden, the music will certainly depict
a "resplendent light" at sunset and bring peace to
your audience.

n ReverberationsBrian Balmages. This explosive
short concert fanfare explores various sounds as
they echo throughout the ensemble. Based entirely
on a two-note motif, the music makes use of
minimalist techniques while adding fanfare themes
and an extensive percussion backdrop. The end
of the work reverses the direction of the motif as
the woodwinds echo each other while the brass
present the final powerful statements. An incredible
contemporary opener!

riffs. The syncopated figures and close harmonies

fresh air to any concert!

l The Rising KingdomTravis J. Weller. This tone
poem evokes an imaginary saga of the rise to power
of a medieval realm against tyrannical forces. A
heroic musical statement sets the stage for this
drama and takes on a processional quality as
warriors set out to deliver the peasants from despair
and oppression. The action intensifies as the music
grows, adding tension as the conflict begins, raging
forward to the victorious and uplifting conclusion.

l
River Rendezvous (Multilevel Combined Bands)
Michael Sweeney. While conceived as a work
for multilevel band festivals, it also serves as
a dynamic standalone composition for Grade
3 bands. Representing moods and scenes
of southern Wisconsin, the two contrasting
movements may be performed separately or
together. The primary themes in each movement
are simple enough for beginning players and are
embellished and developed in the more advanced
levels. A multifaceted extravaganza with powerful
programming possibilities.

n Rivers (Movement II of "Georgian Suite")
Samuel Hazo. This poignant composition uses the
analogy of a river that, when divided, maintains its
identity, yet becomes two separate entities. Three
themes, each representing a different branch of one
river, are presented individually then come together
in splendid fashion at the end. Very tenderly written.

n RuckusRandall Standridge. The dictionary
defines "ruckus" as a noisy commotion, fracas or
rumpus and this very original work is just that. Loud,
boisterous, aggressive and mixed meter, heavy
percussion and thumping rhythm give this piece a
decidedly urban feel. No doubt your students will be
musically entranced by this powerfully rhythmic, yet
sophisticated work.

lush chorales and a quick, lighthearted theme,
Scattered Light is a memorial work with secret
codes embedded directly in the music to honor a
student who was fascinated by the use of such
codes. The contrast between expressive ensemble
playing and light, jovial bursts of energy provides a
full range of musical ideas.

A Scottish Sunrise (Morning Has Broken)
arr. Travis Weller. The Celtic hymn Morning Has
Broken is used as thematic material for this vivid
depiction of sunrise on the Scottish landscape.
A lush and serene opening depicts the quiet calm
just moments before dawn, followed by a building
fanfare that ushers in the rising sun, reaching
its peak just as the sun breaks through in full
glory. A lilting original jig then adds to the festive
atmosphere, bursting forth in full ensemble for a
rollicking conclusion.

n Shalom!arr. Philip Sparke. Renowned composer
Philip Sparke brings elements of the long history
of Jewish folksong to life in this rich and varied
suite for concert band! A wide spectrum of moods
are presented in the three movements including
traditional songs: V'ha'ir Shushan; Havdala; Hanerot
Halalu; Ba'olam Haba; Mishenichnas Adar; Ani Purim
and Yom Tov Lanu. All movements together take over
nine minutes to perform, but each movement can
stand alone as well, making this appropriate for
concert, contest and holiday programs. We are proud
to give this our highest recommendation!

beauty of one of America's favorite folksongs
prevails throughout this work. The transparent
sonorities mark the overall design of the piece,
yet the mood easily shifts into moments of power

Shorewood OvertureMichael Sweeney.
Shorewood Overture is designed to be performed
by multi-level bands. Rather than the typical
massed band number in which everyone plays at
once, this ingenious overture allows each level to
be featured briefly by itself, along with sections
when everyone plays together. In addition, the
Level 3 parts include cues, allowing the work to be
performed by a single ensemble. This is ideal for
district-wide festivals!

n Simple Gifts: Four Shaker Songsarr. Frank
Ticheli. In this fine four-movement work, Ticheli
pays homage to authentic Shaker music as he, in
his own words, "sought subtle ways to preserve
their simple, straightforward beauty." The work is
based on the songs: In Yonder Valley; Dance; Hear,
Take This Lovely Flower and Simple Gifts. Some of
the movements can stand alone in performance, as
your programming needs dictate.

l SkulduggeryGene Milford. "Skulduggery"

or trickery, and that's exactly what this piece

and turns that will be intriguing for performers and

will love it - they'll improve their chromatic scales
while having some fun!

Sky DanceRichard L. Saucedo. Using a
recurring four-note motif and a variety of textural
punctuations, here is a stunning and fresh-
sounding overture for developing bands. A slow and
lyric middle section featuring woodwind colors and
rich emotional contours provides a stark contrast to
the rhythmic intensity of the opening and closing
sections. Dramatic and powerful!

scenery. The suspense and thrills then return as
you pull the ripcord and come to an exuberant and
triumphant touchdown.

selection for high schools.
