4e Ghost Run—Grant Michel. Spookiness abounds
in this aggressive and fun piece for concert band
written in a standard theme-and-variations form.
It's an intriguing composition beginning with a
bold opening statement that gives way to a funky
ostinato that bolsters the main theme. Included in
the mix are quotes of Dies Irae and the music of
J.S. Bach to add a slightly haunting nature.

4e The Heart's Reflection—Daniel Elder. Origin-
ally written for eight-part mixed chorus as a sort
of tone poem, the composer has adapted this
profound work to the vibrant colors and textures of
the modern concert band. Broad and symphonic
in nature, it incorporates these tonalities to
express the underlying emotions of the original.
The variety of textures and instrumental colors
enhance the tonal spectrum of the original and
bring out the expressive nature of the work.

4e Into Moonlight's Mist—Richard L. Saucedo.
The haunting beauty of the ring of mist that
sometimes surrounds the moon inspired this
piece, along with the legends and folklore
associated with this almost mystical phenomenon.

4e Kirkpatrick's Muse—Jay Bocook. This cele-
bratory piece opens with a plaintive Irish style
flute solo before moving seamlessly to a vibrant,
fast-paced section. This material is loosely based
on the Appalachian fiddle tune Glory in the
Meeting House which is appropriately introduced
by the bodhran (Irish frame drum). Highlighting
the simple charm of traditional Irish music, this
settingalso features some wild and appealing
excursions in color, texture and harmony.

4 Mid-American Sketches—Ryan Nowlin. The
sense of heritage and home is a hallmark of
the Midwest and Middle America and is as the
inspiration for all three movements of the work.
New Horizons serves as a celebration and tribute
to the many people that have established their
lives and families in Middleville. Home portrays
a sense of pride, reverence, security, and
affection. Tomorrows embodies the spirit of the
future, of new possibilities as well as a dance-like
celebration of community.

4 Of Heroes and Demons—Rob Romeyn.
An epic programmatic work that captures the
fight between good and evil. Opening with a
commanding heroic fanfare, the music then
subsides into a beautifully lyric chorale section.
The musical story then unfolds as the "demons"
theme is introduced, developed and expanded;
the "heroes" theme returns, stronger and more
developed, and our conflict between good and
evil comes to a dramatic conclusion with a brief
final battle. Destined to be a classic for concert
and festival use.

concert opener or closer that will most certainly

4 Shrine of the Fallen (Kiev 2014)—Brian
Balmages. Written in response to the tragic
events in Kiev in 2014, this music draws on the
old Ukrainian folk song Plyve Kacha, which
became an anthem for many protestors as a
symbol of national pride while also mourning the
fallen. Described by the composer as Arabian
Dances meets Moscow, 1941, the music is
incredibly powerful yet introspective. Quotes of
the Ukrainian national anthem add to the intensity
of the music, which features the instrumentalists
singing in four-part harmony at the very end of the
piece. Absolutely stunning!

This musical celebration of the natural scenic

shakers in the middle section. A substantial work

orchestration help bring character and distinction

4e Winds of Change—Randall Standridge. Winds
that flow across the landscape now provide
energy - and the inspiration for this piece. The
quiet introduction depicts the great open spaces
that stretch for miles as gentle morning breezes
begin. Small gusts of wind, represented by scale
passages and arpeggiated figures, dance across
the landscape. The pace picks up until the music
soars, much like the wind racing across the land,
turning the turbines and charging exuberantly
towards the future.
