H The AscensionRobert W. Smith. This expansive
work is further evidence that Robert W. Smith has
arrived in the world of serious band literature. A
programmatic work based on Dante Alighieri's
"The Divine Comedy," this is the third movement

H Blue ShadesFrank Ticheli. Absolutely
fascinating! The composer has created a work that
combines his love of jazz and the blues with his
own contemporary style. Although there is a strong
allusion to the blues and a jazz feeling is prevalent,
this is not a literal "Blues" piece. Blues harmonies,
rhythms and melodic idioms do pervade the work,
and many "shades of blue" are heard, from bright
and dark to dirty and hot. It's a demanding work
that will require strong players in every section of
the band.

A Celebration OvertureBruce Broughton. This
thrilling "tour-de-force" concert opener is really an
extended fanfare, opening with an energetic brass
and percussion motif that forms the basis for the
piece. A contrasting lyrical section appears in brief
after the opening statement and once again before
the final push to the end. Exhilarating!

Percy Grainger/arr. Erickson. This exceptional,
sparkling work holds an honored place in the
concert band literature. In a bright 6/8 throughout,
the wonderful vitality of Grainger's writing makes for
a truly memorable musical experience. The piano,
timpani and percussion parts contribute a special
flair to this outstanding piece, which is certain to be
enthusiastically received by all who play and hear it!

H Colas Breugnon (Overture)Dmitri Kabalevsky/
trans. Hunsberger. This fabulous overture from the
1930's contains a pulsating and driving rhythmic
force, perfectly balanced by the flowing secondary
theme. As transcriber, Donald Hunsberger
describes, "the orchestral colors are in a class of
their own, ranging from overwhelming fortissimos
to chamber effects to raucous splashes of wind and
percussion energy."

n Dancing on WaterFrank Ticheli. This delightful
and bubbling work is an exuberant dance that
exudes expressive feelings of unbridled joy. Even

provides a spirited finish to this wonderfully vibrant
and joyous work.

British, and French dance forms. This work is built
on a beautiful, elegant main theme, stated on
clarinet, building in intensity before erupting into
passionate rhythms later.

l Deborah's Triumph Jael's RevengeDavid
R. Holsinger. A thrilling concert work of intense
drama and excitement. The quiet opening is
serene and peaceful, yet it has a lingering hint
of the upcoming battle that soon will take place.
Rapidly moving woodwind lines introduce the
change in mood while long flowing melodic lines
rise up, building in anticipation and suspense.
Soon the musical battle is in full swing, with
fast-moving woodwind lines competing with
punctuating brass and percussion figures that
collide for the huge finale.

H Emmanuel VariantsRobert E. Foster. Serving a
dual purpose as a contest piece or as a real tour de
force on a Christmas concert, Emmanuel Variants
is an exceptionally innovative setting of the ancient
and well known Christmas carol O Come, O Come
Emmanuel. Beginning with a stirring brass fanfare
leading into a quiet, meditative setting of the hymn,
a series of developments utilizing different voicings,
rhythmic treatments and harmonic developments
follows. This most appealing treatment then
concludes with a return of the brass fanfare for a
brilliant finale!
