sophistication of a much more difficult work.

and wonderment of the early days of Peter Pan and

and syncopated rhythms of Middle Eastern music
with percussive African drumming bring about
a striking blend of musical cultures. The central
focus is the pulse of the djembe, an hourglass-

l Suite of Appalachian Folk SongsRobert W.
Smith. This group of folk songs was inspired by
musicologist Cecil Sharpe's Appalachian Mountain

Short, tight movements, each with its own unique
musical identity, are tuneful and stylish, culminating

significance make this an important addition to the
concert and festival repertoire.

n Three Celtic DancesBrian Balmages. Based
on three different Scottish dance forms, this
work explores a wide variety of Celtic styles using
authentic and original material. Lively and spirited,
Movement 1, Reel, is based on the tune The Last
Pint of Ale. Well May I Behold My Faithful Brown-
Hair'd Maid is the basis for the second movement,
Air. It is presented as a slow, lyrical melody. The
final movement, Jig, is loosely based on the tune
Highlander's Jig and uses the most recognized
Celtic dance form. The piece may be performed
as a whole, but each movement stands on its own
if played individually. An excellent selection for
concert or contest.

solos for flute and trumpet with chamber music
textures; and Variations on a "Green" Theme begins
with a jig in the percussion and reeds before slowly
revealing the theme being varied, Greensleeves.

4 Travelin' Musicarr. Robert Sheldon. Here's
some great fun you can't miss out on. The Arkansas
Traveler is one of the most popular and well known
of all folk songs, and it's never sounded better than

this rendition is set in a Cajun-style groove and uses
a number of techniques to explore and develop the
tune in many unexpected ways. A real delight!

First published in 1989, this work has become a
proven band classic. With the first statement of
the theme played by a solo flute accompanied by
vibes and bells, this very musical, sensitive set of

and also includes a Bach-like fugue variation. Truly
symphonic band writing at its best.

n Voices of the SkySamuel Hazo. The many
qualities and changes in appearance of the sky
are translated into musical moods through this
expressive work. The opening lyric section flows
between soloistic and full ensemble playing and
leads to a "sinister" fast section of driving rhythms
and mixed meter that crescendos to a powerful new
setting of the original melody to close the work.
Impeccable timing and emotional pacing sustain
and propel this effective work.

l VolatusBrian Beck. The title is taken from
the Latin word for flight, which fits this musical
presentation that captures the art of soaring

statements and sparkling percussion, then it is up,
up and away with dancing woodwind flourishes.
With angular harmonies, driving rhythms in mixed
meters, and emphatic percussive effects, you'll find
there's something for everyone to enjoy.
