n Loco MotionTodd Stalter. The emphasis is on
the word "loco" with this frenetic concert work. The
wind parts are wildly rhythmic and players have
the opportunity to duel with the percussion section
using their hands and feet. Ideal as a concert
opener or closer, it's sure to start or finish your
concert with a huge exclamation point!

A Longford LegendRobert Sheldon. This
outstanding composition is destined to become
a classic! A Longford Legend is a tribute to the
wonderful band literature of Grainger, Holst, and
Vaughan Williams, and if you enjoy their music,
we know you'll enjoy this one. The composer
has based the piece on Irish street ballads, and
the Celtic mood is just delightful! A magnificent
showpiece for every instrument in the band, this is
a must for your next concert! Absolutely superb!

H Lord of the RingsJohan de Meij/arr. Lavender.
Until now, De Meij's award-winning symphony for
band has been out of the reach of most students.
But after close consultation with the composer, Paul
Lavender has masterfully adapted and condensed
three of the original five movements into a practical
concert version your band can play! It includes a
more standard instrumentation and optional cuts
allowing for several performance lengths. Experience
first-hand the power and depth of this exciting
music inspired by the book "Lord Of The Rings" as
perceived by one of Europe's finest composers!

of Whitacre's most popular choral works, Lux
Aurumque, here is an extraordinarily lush and
poignant adaptation transcribed for concert band.
Gorgeous, simple triads melt from one chord to the
next, creating a slowly evolving wash of colors and
light. Elegantly orchestrated, this is a profoundly
moving experience for players and audiences alike.

March, Op. 99Sergei Prokofiev/arr. James
Meredith. This longtime favorite march for
advanced ensembles is available here in a version
carefully designed for younger players. All of the
distinctive and edgy energy and flair of the original

ensembles and audiences.

Mars (from "The Planets")Gustav Holst/arr.
Owens. This exceptional arrangement captures all
the raw power and intensity of the first movement
of "The Planets" by Gustav Holst. Shortened to be
more accessible to younger groups, this version
uses clever orchestrating techniques to retain all the
fire of the original. At times, you will think you are
listening to the original version. Simply outstanding!

n Minimalist DancesMatt Conaway. This unique
work for advanced ensembles explores three
fundamental minimalist approaches, but through
the lens of very atypical styles. Influenced by the
masterworks of Glass, Riley, and Adams, the
composer uses a limited melodic/rhythmic palette
to maximum effect, even including a rock-inspired
shout section that leads to the furious conclusion.

l MorpheusRandall Standridge. In mythology,
Morpheus is the god of dreams, and this work
paints a peaceful dreamscape of sound where
instrumental colors and textures shift and weave
as they blend into one another. The meandering
ostinatos and chordal shifts represent the
sometimes illogical and often startling way dreams
can change and evolve throughout the night.

A truly unique concert opener, this dark, intense
fanfare is not for the faint of heart. It is in 3/4, but
conducted in a brisk one, making it a challenging
work for every player in the band. With each
passing measure the audience will be riveted to
every note, and will want to hear more once the
piece comes to an exhilarating climax!

Mountain ThymeSamuel R. Hazo. Written
as a musical memorial, this beautifully emotional
setting is a reworking of the traditional folk song The
Braes of Baquhidder, also known as Wild Mountain
Thyme, by Scottish writer Robert Tannahill. With a
varied tapestry of colors, textures and dynamics,
this stunning musical work takes full advantage of
the depth and power of the modern wind band.

4 Moving at the Speed of SoundMark Lortz.
Rousing brass motives, dynamic woodwind
flourishes and active percussion ignite in an
explosive concert opening statement. Beginning
quietly, the action quickly accelerates and builds
into a spinning sonic dynamo that truly befits the
title. Though technical demands are kept at a very
playable level, active parts in every section drive
the music forward while occasional time signature
changes dart and weave throughout this musical
thrill ride.

NemesisGary D. Ziek. Highly volatile and
remarkably intense, this is the just the type of
attention grabber you'll want to include on your
next concert. Named for the god of vengeance and
retribution in Greek mythology, this work projects
a powerful feeling of growing suspense and
impending drama. Draw the listener in with this
ominous opening number for concerts or festivals.

n Night on FireJohn Mackey. This second
movement from the suite The Soul Has Many
Motions has a raw and brutal nature that will
definitely stand out on any program. The exotic
and at times savage sounds suggest wild dancing
around a nomadic camp fire, complete with
tambourine, multiple hand drums and harsh, biting
winds. The harsh and aggressive nature of the work
is sure to deliver an impact not soon forgotten!

n Noisy Wheels of JoyEric Whitacre. Raucous
and breathtaking, this overture by Eric Whitacre will
make a memorable opening for any concert! It's
far from the ordinary overture fare; you'll thoroughly
enjoy the unexpected melodic twists and turns so
brilliantly intertwined with more traditional, lyrical
themes. The overall effect is jubilant, somewhat
quirky, but ultimately delightful!

Nova Stella (New Star Fanfare)John Prescott.
Your concert halls will resonate with the sound of
brass with this spectacular concert opener. The
fanfare begins with three or more antiphonal brass
players placed throughout the concert hall. Large
percussion forces, which include optional parts,
are used to help introduce the rest of the ensemble
as they join in the musical celebration. Then the
combined efforts of all the performers coalesce into
an overwhelming expression of unbridled joy.

Novo LenioSamuel Hazo. This is a Samuel
Hazo's National Band Association award-winning
composition, a continuous three-movement
work that offers various styles and much to keep
your interest. Based on a school alma mater, the
sections are varied in mood yet cohesive in thematic
material. The first movement, Remembrance, is
somewhat somber in tone; the second movement
Qui Non Proficit Deficit is more dissonant; and the
final movement A New Beginning is meant to sound
full and proud.

Reynolds. This fine arrangement brings Morton

band stage. Many will know this stunning work
from the magnificent choral rendition that has
become a staple of the choral repertoire. A serene
and expressive composition, the fluid lines and
lovely harmonies will both challenge and engage
your performers. We are proud to give this our
highest recommendation.

n O Nata LuxGuy Forbes/arr. Hazzard. The
opening section of this beautiful lyric piece is
meant to depict light breaking upon a darkened
world. Filled with vibrant instrumental colors and
textures, this piece expands to a climax followed by

choral work by Guy Forbes, this has been skillfully
transcribed for winds.

4 The Ocean of FireJeremy Bell. Unique and
challenging, this work takes the listener on an
exciting journey through the mysterious and vast
untamed Arabian deserts. Clever use of the Arabic
or Byzantine scale creates the characteristic Middle-
Eastern sound widely used in film scores. The exciting
writing provides every instrument with engaging
and challenging music, interweaving motives and
melodies to create a unique soundscape.

n Of Heroes and DemonsRob 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.

varied and distinctive short movements. The first is
a bold and resolute fanfare followed by the second

enchanting work that radiates warmth and is
the winner of the 2003 William Revelli Memorial
Composition Contest sponsored by the National
