Shadows Unleashed—Brian Balmages. The
dark and mischievous world of shadows is
painted in a vivid musical picture. The flutes

on itself as it moves to a dramatic finish.

4 Simple Dreams—Rob Romeyn. Beginning
bands will find this to be lyrical music of the highest
quality. Beautiful and expressive, the piece begins
softly as a memorable melody is introduced and
developed through varied textures that build to a
dramatic crescendo and a soaring full ensemble.
The music then subsides, ending as it began with
just a whisper and a touching spell of a dream
no one will want to break. Outstanding beginning
band repertoire.

NASA's Apollo space program begins with a
powerful lift-off. The main theme is presented by
flutes, oboe, and then trumpets, with stabilizers

4 Argentum—Randall B. Standridge. The title is
the Latin word for silver, and this vibrant work
practically shines with its brilliant sounds. The
opening 7/8 section gives a nod to composer
Claude T. Smith as it leads to a high-spirited
Scottish-sounding dance. After a reflective
middle, the opening material then returns for a
rousing and spectacular conclusion.

Ontario, having sunk during a violent storm in
1839. You can re-create the events of this historic
event through the descriptive music of this vivid
and imaginative piece. The sound of ship bells
ring out over music portraying the majesty of this
great lake as the ship sets sail. The atmosphere
then slowly takes on a more ominous nature as
the storm grows more powerful, building to a
climax as their paths collide.

won't soon be forgotten.

Flight)—John Prescott. With this soaring
work of majestic splendor, the composer pays
musical tribute to his father, a highly decorated
World War II pilot. The heroism of his flights
in the face of severe adversity is depicted by
the dignified thematic material of the opening.
Strident and somewhat dissonant fanfares ring
out at times, resonating as reminders of the
ever-present danger before the work concludes
in ultimate triumph.

4e Celtic Farewell—Michael Sweeney. Music has
the power to help us heal after the loss of loved
ones. Here the beloved traditional Scottish ballad
The Parting Glass is combined with an original
melody to create a beautifully paced and sensitive
musical memorial. A key element of this work is
the use of Highland bagpipes that adds to the
Celtic flavor. If a pipe player is not available, this
part is cued in multiple band parts or you can
use a synthesizer with bagpipe patch. A moving
tribute for any memorial.

dramatic, to tenderness, to majestic.
