n MetalBrian Balmages. Metal may be used
as a concert opener or closer, and refers to two
different types of "metal." The first type is that
of the considerable use of metallic sounds in the
percussion section. The second inspiration actually
comes from the genre of "heavy metal." There are
several instances throughout the piece that suggest
a strong heavy metal influence. A truly unique piece
for mature ensembles.

Metroplex (Three Postcards from Manhattan)
Robert Sheldon. A dazzling view of the sites and
sounds of a dynamic city. Opening is a vision of the
tall buildings and concrete canyons of the New York
skyline, followed by an urban jazz scene in a club
in Harlem. The close is a wild taxi ride through the
heavy traffic of this fascinating city.

n Molly on the ShorePercy Grainger/arr. Rogers.
One of the most famous of the technical showpieces
for the mature band! Grainger ingeniously combines
two Cork Reels, Molly On The Shore and Temple
Hill in a setting which features Grainger's most
brilliant writing for winds. And making this edition
even more important is the full score, never before
available, which has been assembled by Mark
Rogers. Highly recommended!

n Molly on the ShorePercy Grainger. Even if you
have this classic in your library, you will also want
it in this wonderful new edition! Featuring a newly
engraved full score, this edition contains insightful
critical commentary into the performance practices
of the work. This rollicking Irish folk dance has
become a staple of the advanced band repertoire.
A worthwhile challenge for all good bands!

H A Movement for RosaMark Camphouse.
This emotional, moving work was written to honor
Rosa Parks, whose contribution to desegregation
still stands today. Not only are strength and
determination depicted, but also the harsh realities
of the times. An important work in the repertoire.

n No Shadow of TurningDavid Gillingham. This
is the kind of setting we have come to expect from
this creative composer. Using the hymn Great Is
Thy Faithfulness as a basis, we are treated to a
variety of musical settings including a very effective
section featuring handbells. Mallet percussion can
be equally effective if handbells are not available.

l NordanvindCarl Strommen. A symphonic tour
de force, this rhapsody is built on three Scandinavian
folk songs. Viking-influenced melodies are weaved
into a seamless setting that brings out all the rich
flavor and history of the Scandinavian people. At
times bold and aggressive, at other times lush and
beautiful, it employs all the instrumental colors of
the modern concert band to create a stunning work
for more advanced ensembles.

n Nulli SecundusJames Curnow. This major
work honors the memory and legacy of renowned
conductor and educator Harry Begian. In
consideration of Dr. Begian's Armenian heritage,
Nulli Secundus ("second to none") is a suite of three
variations based on the Armenian folk song Cilicia
(My Homeland).

and dramatic work, inspired by Melville's "Moby
Dick," is rapidly gaining wide acceptance, and
appears on a number of state lists.

n OlympiadaSamuel Hazo. An explosive rendering
of the vigor and stamina exhibited at the Olympic
Games! Opening with a tam-tam and a fanfare of
brass, the sound is big enough to fill an arena! The
low brass and the basses move this one forward
with adrenaline, and it's a great way to showcase
your percussion section, too. Relentless, driving
rhythms bring us through the struggle and the
fanfare returns, signaling the end of the struggle
and triumphant victory. Powerful!

n Original SuiteGordon Jacob/ed. Heidenreich.
Available in this revised edition with full score, this
compelling classic comprises three contrasting
movements. The first movement is a stately march,
followed by the andante second movement, with the
third movement providing a sprightly, upbeat finale.

n PacificaRobert Buckley. The idea for Pacifica
came from an automobile trip down the coastal
road of the west coast of North America from
Vancouver to San Francisco. This area is alive with
stunning vistas, pristine beaches and animal life.
The composer was watching the eagles soaring
overhead and wondered what all of this would look
like from the eagle's perspective - through the eyes
of an eagle. Experience the mighty Pacific coast
from an entirely new perspective.

n Panopticon RisingRalph Ford. This highly
original contemporary composition opens
with an unassuming docile theme that is soon
replaced with driving tutti components furiously
depicting a vividly punctuated theme. Passive
melodies surface occasionally, building to an
uncompromising and emphatic conclusion. Vivid
percussion contributes to the overpowering effect
of this energy-packed composition.

ParkourSamuel R. Hazo. Combining brash
and aggressive rhythmic figures along with more
gentle moments and inventive textures, this
impressive work is truly a standout for advanced
bands. The piece is built around a four-note motif,
which is developed and expanded throughout.
The middle section features more of a jazzy
flavor with saxes in the spotlight accompanied
by finger snaps. The rhythmic intensity returns,
building towards a glorious full ensemble
affirmation and bringing this exciting work to a
powerful conclusion.

H PastimeJack Stamp. This musical home run
is no lightweight piece of music! Although the
composition is loosely woven around motives from
the familiar Take Me Out to the Ballgame, it's a
fascinating, intricate and entertaining concert work.
The composer has a lot of fun in the first segment
of the piece working in hidden musical "salutes"
to various baseball players, and the balance of the
work is described as a "contrapuntal tour de force."
Play ball!

1812 Overture (Highlights from)—
arr. Robert Longfield.
This perennial concert favorite
by Tchaikovsky has been expertly arranged for concert
band by Robert Longfield. It can stand alone as a grade 3 composition, or it
can be performed in a mass band setting by using the supplementary grade 1
and grade 2 sets of parts (sold separately). Percussionists will have a "blast"
emulating cannon sounds and church bells.

Bandorama—Larry Clark & Sandy Feldstein. In the very first performance
of this piece, the conductor performed with over 850 musicians! Talk about a
"Band-o-rama"! For years, directors have asked for pieces that can be performed
with mass bands, whether as a culminating number in a multi-school concert, or
as a recruitment tool to keep younger bandsmen motivated. In some instances,
one school will have multiple bands, each at a different ability level. This piece
will meet the need if any of this sounds familiar to you. The amazing aspect of
this piece, is that the "sets" that encompass three levels of difficulty, elementary,
middle or junior high, and high school, work as an independent piece. The music
simply gets better as the groups are combined. What a great idea!

Ode to Joy—arr. Robert Longfield. The thrilling chorus from Beethoven's
Symphony No. 9 is skillfully arranged for mass band performances. Three levels
of students, Grades 1 through 3, can perform this masterwork simultaneously,
or the Grade 3 setting can be performed alone. It's perfect for combining varying
levels of bands for an end-of-semester grand finale.

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.

Shorewood Overture—Michael 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!

Winged Victory (Beacons of Light)—Brian Balmages. This heroic
sounding composition begins with a soft chorale, then bursts into life with a
theme based on The Drunken Sailor. There are several performance possibilities
with this piece. Your high school band may play it as written, or the middle and/or
elementary school bands may join the older players in a combined presentation
playing the supplemental parts, available separately. A grand work!
