n Pilatus: Mountain of DragonsSteven Reineke.
This ten-minute work, on the easy side of the
medium-advanced level, successfully conveys
the awe-inspiring grandeur of Pilatus mountain in
Switzerland. It opens with the brass slowly blowing
air through their instruments, as if to simulate the
mountain wind, or perhaps the breath of dragons!
A compelling work!

n Raging MachinesBrian Balmages. Hold on
for the ride of a lifetime with this thrilling musical
roller coaster! Portraying machines gone awry,
massive sounds and textures pour from every
section. Eventually, the music comes to rest in a
lyrical section, while retaining the original intensity.
The final portion reintroduces several mechanical
elements, along with new material, as aggression
takes over one more time in a fury of sound.

n RideSamuel Hazo. Vibrant and full of energy!
From the first note, the relentless pace and
invigorating metrical shifts demand the complete
attention of the audience. With a large battery of
percussion and dynamic wind parts, the feeling
of continuous motion is achieved. Yet, as a
testimony to the skill of the composer, the themes
have a certain melodiousness and flowing quality
that add depth and appeal to the work. This is
an outstanding composition to be added to the
repertoire of mature bands.

H River of LifeSteven Reineke. We urge you to
look at this important work! This composer is the
resident composer for the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra
and we feel that this is an incredible composition...
the highs, the lows, the development, the scoring,
the transitions, the themes...all point to a piece that
must be given a place in the band repertoire. Best
of all, is that this work will appeal on several levels,
the melodies and rhythms immediately grab you,
but on a deeper level, the composer's skill is quite
evident. Our highest recommendations!

sail in grand style with this nautically flavored
work for mature bands. You'll feel the cool salt
air as the voyage begins in the quiet of the early
morning, gradually picking up speed until it's full
speed ahead with nothing but open seas ahead. An
outstanding work of substance that will bring down
the house.

l San Andreas LandscapesRossano Galante.
Depicting the beautiful landscapes of the San
Andreas terrain, this sweeping work begins with a
sparkling introduction, mirroring the sun exploding
out of the mountainous vistas. Soaring and robust,
the main theme is first stated in the horns and then
passed on to the trumpets. A calmer lyric section
features soloistic dialogues in the woodwinds, and
after a brief recap the work culminates in a dynamic
and riveting conclusion.

H Second Suite in FHolst/arr. Matthews. Written

cornerstones for any good band library.

4 Shadow WaltzesBrian 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!

n Silence OverwhelmedBrian Balmages.
Expression and emotion are of the utmost
importance in this beautiful piece. The work is
driven by complex harmonies and textures as
the music constantly moves between moments
of tranquility and massive power. Silence can be
extremely musical and somewhat overwhelming,
and this selection shows just how powerful a means
of expression silence can be.

n The Soul Has Many MotionsJohn Mackey.
A collection of four separate movements, each with
its own special style and meaning. Violet Crown
Fanfare captures the movement of the heavens
and optimism of the wide open West. Night on
Fire suggests the wild dancing of a nomadic camp.
Unquiet Spirits is a waltz of longing and otherworldly
sweetness. The Ringmasters March is a riotous,
Ivesian circus parade that closes the piece with an
exuberant, joyful noise.

4 A Southern HymnBill 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.

Spanish Dance (from "The Gadfly")Dmitri
Shostakovich/arr. James Curnow. Originally written

exciting and explosive work suitable as an opener
or encore selection.

n Suite From MassLeonard Bernstein/arr.
Michael Sweeney. Using the monumental work
to draw from, this suite focuses on a select
number of movements, often using the brass
quintet to represent the vocal lines found in the
original. Striking and beautiful, it includes Alleluia,
Sanctus, A Simple Song, Agnus Dei, Offertory and
Almighty Father. Scored for brass quintet and
wind ensemble, there are ample cues provided to
allow this to be performed by wind ensemble or
symphonic band alone.

n TattooEric Ewazen. A large, three-movement
work written to celebrate the bicentennial of the
United States Military Academy. It incorporates
wonderfully broad, sweeping themes that represent
feelings of gallantry, loss, and determination. The
themes return in the final movement for a very
powerful and full closing statement.

H Tempered SteelCharles Young. The key
word here is "steel"... or metal. Metal clangs, it
blows, it vibrates, it excites, and it has strength.
This urgent, driving piece has those qualities, and
you'll find it's a neat and unique addition to the
repertoire. Expressing a celebration of our triumph
over unavoidable hardships and obstacles we
regularly face that force us to be stronger, resilient,
or "tempered," the piece explores the metallic
sonorities of the wind band to great effect.

l
UndercurrentsRobert Buckley. An electrifying,
virtuosic showcase featuring solos, duets, and trios
as well as various chamber sections within the
band. The music was inspired by watching schools
of fish and flocks of birds perpetually moving with
the ocean and air currents. Once in a while a
single solo shape, or two or three, will appear as
they dance apart and then are drawn back into the
ensemble. A powerful tour de force from beginning
to end.

n Urban DancesErik Morales. Rhythm is the key
element of this vibrant and contemporary piece
which incorporates many of the rhythms found in
today's popular music. The melodic and thematic
elements, while important, play a supportive and
secondary role. In many instances the thematic
material floats over the rhythmic pulse creating a
double time feel. It's lively and persistent throughout
with very active and involved percussion.
