Escape from the DeepBrian Balmages. The
miraculous survival of nine Navy officers is depicted
in this selection based on the book of the same
name. The music begins with a military quality, but
then takes on a much more dissonant character
as the crew members fight for their lives. Excerpts
from America begin to appear in various forms,
first in adrenaline-packed moments, then in a brief
moment of solitude. The final burst of energy portrays
the sailors' incredible escape from the depths of the
ocean to the surface of the water. Powerful!

This emotionally charged piece is dedicated to

resolution in the uplifting conclusion.

l Evocation of the Spirit: Two Settings of the
Ave MariaSergei Rachmaninoff & Jacques
Arcadelt/arr. Ken Singleton. Austere and beautiful,
these two Ave Marias were written about 400 years
apart for Masses in both the Catholic and Russian
Orthodox Churches. The intensely spiritual nature of
these two works makes for a fine musical set that
can be played together in any order or separately.
These lofty settings serve as valuable and important
transcriptions to the band idiom.

4 FableErik Morales. Having the sound of an epic
movie soundtrack, this work was inspired by old
collections of children's stories such as Aesop's
Fables and Grimm's Fairy Tales. Broad, memorable
themes create images that jump off the page while
an energetic and highly rhythmic pulse drives the
work forward. Just as the written stories did, the
music maintains a veil of darkness and intrigue that
captures the imagination of the listener from start
to finish.

Sterk. This magnificent Baroque organ work
by Johann Sebastian Bach is a prime example

Written in 1960 for the Fire of Eternal Glory burning
at Heroes Square for the defenders of the Great
Patriotic War, Shostakovich's chorale prelude is full

Based on the beloved hymn It Is Well With My
Soul, you will not find a more deeply moving

reflective, intense, somber and inspiring. Very
highly recommended.

For Heaven and the FutureSamuel R. Hazo.
The title of this expansive work draws inspiration
from a poem by Robert Frost, and the thematic
material is a creative interpretation of the English
folk song Seventeen Come Sunday. Differing from
Vaughan William's treatment, this setting remains
at a slow tempo throughout, undergoing a myriad of
harmonic and textural variations. It's beautifully and
effectively paced with key impact points occurring
at just the right moments.

n FoundryJohn Mackey. The first piece for
band at this grade level by this popular and
most creative composer. The concept of this
fascinating work is to introduce percussionists to
the idea that there are more imaginative ways to
perform other than with the traditional percussion
instruments. Using "found" percussion
instruments in addition to creative wind parts,
the piece creates a life of its own to the delight of
musicians and audiences!

preserves the distinctive riffs and driving energy of
the original.

n From GoldSamuel R. Hazo. Glistening chords,
soaring melodies, broad fanfares and gorgeous
chorales will fill your concert hall with this
evocative work. Best of all, From Gold sounds
much harder than it actually is. Written entirely in
B-flat with very few accidentals, the runs are split
between instruments for playability, and parts
are doubled/cued to build confidence. Young
bands will sound mature, and mature bands will
be breathtaking!
