l Hail the ChampionsJames Curnow. This
dynamic work celebrates 100 years of music
composed for the Olympic Games. A brilliant
fanfare serves as an introduction and unifying link
throughout followed by the 1986 Olympic Hymn set
in a beautiful lyric style. The final section presents a
new version of Olympic Fanfare and Theme for the
Olympic Flag and closes in dramatic fashion with
elements of the opening fanfare.

n Handel in the StrandPercy Grainger/arr.
Goldman. Percy Grainger himself said of this piece,
"...the music seemed to reflect both Handel and
English musical comedy...as if jovial old Handel
were careening down the Strand (London's
"Broadway") to the strains of modern English
popular music." What can one add to that? Try it
and find out!

n Head RushJay Bocook. Employing a
minimalist approach, this dynamic piece uses
layers of constantly evolving textures and rhythmic
devices, while propelled throughout by an energetic
underlying pulse. Sprinkled with surprises and
dramatic effects, and culminating with the full
force of the entire ensemble, Head Rush is a
dramatic and unique addition to the repertoire for
mature ensembles.

composed for Herald Trumpets, the U.S. Army
Band's acclaimed trumpet ensemble, Paul Murtha's
dramatic fanfare pays tribute to the heroic men and
women of the New York City Fire Department who
lost their lives in 2001. Brilliant!

H Hoe DownAaron Copland/arr. Mark Rogers.
Next to "Appalachian Spring," this is perhaps
Copland's most recognizable composition. It is the
final movement of his suite Four Dance Episodes
from "Rodeo," which is drawn from his Ballet score
of the same name. Wildly exuberant and charged
with energy, this arrangement by Mark Rogers can
fit into just about any program!

n How Deep the Father's Love for UsAnthony
LaBounty. This timeless British hymn tune is
melodious and alluring; equal to the text that is rich
in poetic language, expressing the ultimate love of
a father. This poignant setting for band purposely
borrows vignettes of imagery recognized in
"Appalachian Spring," among other orchestration
elements. Extremely moving!

n Hymn to a Blue HourJohn Mackey. The blue
hour refers to the moment of day between twilight
and complete darkness, a time of day known for
its romantic, spiritual, ethereal qualities. The colors
of fading light are beautifully reflected in sound by
various instrumental combinations and textures.
Building to a brilliant climax, the brightest moment
is reached before dissipating slowly into a warm,
peaceful finish, as the light fades to darkness.
A stunning work.

l The Imperial MarchJohn Williams/arr.
Stephen Bulla. One of the most recognized themes
from the silver screen first appeared in the 1980
film "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back." This
powerful arrangement for mature bands presents
this dark and sinister march in its full splendor and
will delight audiences everywhere.

H
InchonRobert W. Smith. Honoring the "forgotten
war," Robert W. Smith offers this significant work
in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Korean
conflict. It's beautifully scored to balance the
delicate oriental melodies with the dramatic and
frenzied passages that mirror the conflict. Colorfully
orchestrated, with percussion simulating the sound
of a helicopter landing and parts for piano and
alto flute (with cues for C flute), it is a thoroughly
stunning tonal collage. A significant, expansive
work, one which experienced concert bands will
proudly add to their repertoire. We give this our
highest recommendation!

The InfernoRobert W. Smith. Truly colossal!
This is the first movement of Robert Smith's epic
work "The Divine Comedy." Advanced groups will
welcome the challenges and reap the rewards
inherent in the piece. Very contemporary in nature,
The Inferno includes furious woodwind ostinatos,
huge blocks of sound, tremendous percussion, and
the imagery of Hell's inferno! Not for the faint of heart.

H Irish Tune from County Derry/Shepherd's Hey
Percy Grainger/arr. Kent. Performable either
together or separately, the first selection (more
commonly known by the title Danny Boy) is a
masterful example of the pure beauty of sound and
melody, while Shepherd's Hey is a sprightly dance.

l Joropoarr. Johan de Meij. Originally written
for piano, this delightful work displays a wealth of
rhythmic vitality. It's a lively 3/8 piece that's written
in the style of a typical Venezuelan dance, charming
as well as lively, and will provide a decidedly
international flair to concert programming.

n Journey to the Lion's CastleRossano Galante.
Written in a grand film scoring fashion, this work
takes the listener on an exciting musical excursion
exploring various moods and styles. The impressive
opening strains feature woodwind flourishes and
powerful brass lines. A graceful and majestic
middle section offers a change of pace before the
ending segment drives to a breathtaking finish.

n Joy (from "Awakening")Joseph Curiale. This
positively overflows with joy! An outstanding work
for festival or concert programs, this is very worthy
of your consideration. Interesting metrical shifts,
bold statements, and well-placed playful motives
add up to an overall creative musical experience.
Elements of an "American" sound harkens to the
music of Copland, yet is found here distinctly fresh
and new. Taken from Curiale's orchestral work
"Awakening," with the optional harp part included.
Highly recommended!

[Jungst]aposedCraig Fitzpatrick. The title of
this piece is derived from the word "juxtaposed,"
meaning "to place side by side, especially for
comparison or contrast," and the name "Jungst,"
which is the name of the band director to whom it is
dedicated. Rhythmically active, it maintains a high
enegy level throughout, making it a multi-meter
showcase for your band.

n La Procession du RocioJoaquin Turina/arr.
Reed. Although a native of Spain, while studying
in Paris early in his career, composer Joaquin
Turina was influenced by the impressionistic
harmonies of Debussy and Ravel. Once he
returned to Spain, Turina also drew inspiration
from Spanish folk music with La Procession
du Rocio, which became one of his best-
known works. The music portrays a festival
and procession that takes place in the Triana
neighborhood of Seville, and is filled with
wonderful idiomatic Spanish elements. Alfred
Reed's marvelous 1962 transcription remains an
enduring keystone in the wind band repertoire.

n The Last CentaurRossano Galante. Composed
in the style of a grand and descriptive film score,
The Last Centaur is a musical depiction of a
centaur who is separated from his family by war,
the ensuing adventures, and ultimate reunion
with his family and friends. The music begins
with a stately, lyrical theme in the horns followed
by solo oboe. This main theme is then woven
throughout the work as it develops and grows
with intensity. Sweeping woodwind lines and
majestic brass fanfares capture the excitement
of the drama and ultimate joyous resolution.
Powerful and evocative writing!

n Liberty FanfareJohn Williams/arr. Bocook.
One hundred years after the dedication of the
Statue of Liberty in 1886, John Williams was
commissioned to compose a fanfare for the re-
dedication ceremony. At this event, Mr. Williams
led the Boston Pops Orchestra in the first
performance of this work, which the composer
described as a group of American airs and tunes
of his own invention.

n Liquid CompassAlex Shapiro. Continuing in
the tradition of innovative electroacoustic band
works, this work spans the mystical and the
triumphant. A connection to the sea is conveyed
through metal bowls filled with water, and flutists
will particularly enjoy the otherworldly "ooh-wah"
effect they create. This work migrates to many
places, but never loses its bearings in pursuit of
a musical true north.

H Mannin VeenHaydn Wood. Originally published
in 1933, this outstanding tone poem, based on four
folk songs from the Isle of Man, is an outstanding
addition to any band library. Beginning with a
plaintive melody in the Dorian mode, then going
into a "fiddle tune," a very lyrical melody and then
a hymn, this is a superbly written work that is most
worthy of performance.

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

Shadow Waltzes—Brian Balmages.
Drawing on the contrast of darkness against light, this innovative work is menacing at times,
seemingly innocent at others, and nearly out of control at its most volatile moments. A static
rhythmic pulse forms the backdrop for the entire piece as shadows seem to move throughout
darkness in a playful yet deceitful way. An invigorating and unique work!

A Southern Hymn—Bill Locklear.
Based on the hymn tune How Firm a Foundation, this piece opens with a sparkling fanfare
followed by several fragments of the tune and then the full hymn tune, first in woodwinds
then by the full ensemble. A transition sets the stage for a light rhythmic variation and a short
rhapsodic statement. A fast march-like motif evolves into a fragmented restatement of the
original, leading to a rousing full ensemble shout which concludes the piece.
