4e The Forgotten Village—Michael Oare. This
overture for second-year players tells the musical
story of Portsmouth Village, once a bustling sea
village on North Carolina's Outer Banks, but now
a ghost town with past glories only a memory.
In this descriptive work, the slow and reflective
opening paints the picture of empty buildings and
lost glory. A vibrant faster section relives the hope
and promise of the past with driving rhythms and
melodic lines passed from section to section.

4 From the Concord Chronicles—Tyler S.
Grant. Travel back in time to 1775 and the Battles
of Lexington and Concord, the tipping point for
the American Revolutionary War. These fiery
engagements are depicted with a slow, ominous
introduction as soldiers gather to await the arrival
of British forces. As the battle ensues, the music
frantically portrays the struggle between the two
sides, and the percussion emulates the sound
of cannon bursts and rifles. An aggressive and
historical tribute of significant merit!

4e Helios Rising—Todd Stalter. In Greek
mythology, Helios is a Titan who drove the sun's
chariot across the sky each day. The start of that
incredible journey is referenced musically by the
ascending leap in the heroic main theme and the
intense rhythms of the low winds and percussion.
The contrasting light and dark textures in the slow
section depict twilight inevitably giving way to the
darkness of night.

4e Irish Rising—Michael Sweeney. The monu-
mental events that helped shape Ireland's history
and fan the flames of freedom are recalled in
this sparkling medley of tunes from Ireland's
rebellious past. The familiar Minstrel Boy leads to
a lively setting of Wind That Shakes the Barley.
The haunting yet dramatic Foggy Dew follows,
leading to the stirring march The Boys of Wexford
which features tin whistles (optional flutes or
piccolo) along with a driving and Celtic-flavored
rhythmic pulse.

Joy—Frank Ticheli. The feeling of simple,
unabashed joy is expressed throughout this entire
work. There is the frequent presence of sudden
and dramatic stylistic contrasts, as well as several
climactic moments. A final reminder of the main
tune is shouted out in octaves, bringing the piece
to an exuberant finish.

4 Legacy Fanfare—Jack Wilds. This bold, exciting
opener is held together by a recurring figure made
up of just three notes. The music moves through
a variety of fast-paced melodic material before
coming to an energetic close. Modern harmonies
lend the piece a fresh sound, and an unrelenting
energy pervades throughout. A powerful opener
for your next concert!

4e The Legend of Tizona (The Sword of El
Cid)—Rick Kirby. History is filled with legends
of magical swords used by noble warriors and
heroes. El Cid, the national hero of Spain, had
his sword Tizona by his side during the Siege of
Valencia. Striking dissonances, layers of sound,
clapping effects and a dynamic percussion score
are used to take the listener back in time to the
scene of this exciting musical adventure.

4 Lullaby to the Moon—Brian Balmages. Many
fictional works portray the moon as a living being,
alone in space looking at the earth. This lullaby
honors this "living moon," portraying various
emotions including the loneliness of seeing us
from space. It also includes moments of comfort
as the moon proudly watches over us, much as a
parent watches over a child. Simply stunning!

Minka's Sleigh Ride—arr. Pierre La Plante. Don
your hat and scarf for this wintry medley. Two
Ukrainian folk tunes, Minka and The Birch Tree,
are combined with sleigh bells, tambourines and
wood blocks to create the setting of a snowy
Russian sleigh ride. Adds a fun touch to any
winter concert.

4e Night of the Dark Horse—Michael Oare. The
term "dark horse" originated in horse racing
describing an unknown entry, but also carries the
connotation of an unknown underdog in politics or
sports. Composed in a lively 6/8 time and using a
single brisk tempo throughout, it take the listener
on an energetic musical journey dedicated to the
efforts of unlikely winners everywhere.

4e Pentagram—Michael Story. A pentagram is a
five-sided star believed to be a symbol containing
supernatural or spiritual properties. This piece
isn't supernatural, but it is super-effective as
a tremendous musical work that introduces or
reinforces 5/4 time. Cast in a bold overture style,
students are able to easily grasp the time signature
with the memorable melodies. The variety of
styles and textures of this dynamic composition
builds to a bold punctuated conclusion.

4e Primal—Sean O'Loughlin. You couldn't find
a better title to describe this musical offering.
Primitive, guttural and aggressive, this forceful
piece will demand attention from the start. Pointed
dissonances add spice to the fanfare opening
before the piece takes off, driven by angular
rhythms and at times more biting harmonies. A
short lyrical section provides a much-needed
break before charging like a runaway horse to the
climactic conclusion.

Rippling Watercolors—Brian Balmages. While
many often underestimate the extensive colors,
harmonies, and emotional ranges available to
younger ensembles, this stunning lyrical work
sets out to explore those very qualities. While
playable by middle school bands, this fully
expressive work is equally at home with mature
ensembles. A gorgeous and colorful work!

wild and historic tradition comes to life in this vivid
and lively musical depiction. The excitement and
danger of the annual celebration in Pamplona,
Spain is re-created to full effect in this exciting and
colorful array of sounds. Cast in two segments:
the opening is a peaceful, reflective setting of the
early morning, followed by the daring sounds of
the event itself.
