l Folksong FestivalRyan Nowlin. This medley
of folksongs is equal parts Italian and Irish.
The work begins with the well-known Irish
folksongs The Girl I Let Behind Me; No One
Can Love Like an Irishman; The Galway Piper;
and the unmistakable Irish Washerwoman.
The arrangement then moves to a slow and
reverent treatment of the Italian melody The Fair
Maid of Sorrento and closes with the rousing,
exciting, and immensely popular Italian folksongs
Tarantella and Funiculi, Funicula.

H Funiculi, FuniculaLuigi Denza/arr. Reed.
Wow! This Alfred Reed arrangement is destined
to be a classic. It's a very familiar and popular
Neapolitan song of the 1880's arranged as a
tarantella and set for the full resources of the
modern concert band. It has the feel of a classic
European concert march with tremendous appeal
and a variety of performance uses. This is perfect
as an encore selection!

l Lanigan's BallEd Kiefer. Music from Ireland
is very intriguing to audiences and musicians. It
fits so well with concert band instrumentation
that it always sounds great, and this piece is no
exception. Starting with a solo clarinet playing a
lively jig, it blossoms into a dramatic presentation
of the folk song before relaxing into a section
of repose based on the song Binnorie. The
percussion is then highlighted in a build-up to
the rousing climax where the tunes are combined
for a dramatic conclusion.

Thyme, by Scottish writer Robert Tannahill. With a

this stunning musical work takes full advantage of
the depth and power of the modern wind band.

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.

The Rakes of Mallow (from the "Irish Suite")

festivals, pop concerts and an obvious must for

life, it is a true reflection of this gifted composer's
creative talent.

performance techniques. A colorful and refreshing
addition to the repertoire for concert band.

n The Spirit of AlohaBrian Balmages. Inspired
by a trip to Honolulu, this music embodies the
aloha spirit that so many discover when visiting
the islands of Hawaii. Making use of a wealth of
authentic percussion instruments, the piece truly
captures the bright spirit of Hawaii. An optional
ukulele part is cued in other instruments, and the

Monumental CityJoseph Compello. Marches
are an important part of the heritage of the
American concert band, and beginning students
need to be introduced to this important style right
away. This original piece is effectively written in the
traditional style and is playable by the youngest of

with simple repeated eighth notes, yet it still has all
of the elements of the style students need to know.

a better piece to begin that first concert!
