l LaniakeaJack Wilds. This lyrical work is named
after our local galactic supercluster, the massive
structure of 100,000 galaxies in which the Milky
Way is located. The flowing music portrays a lone
astronaut floating in space at the edge of the galaxy
and the feelings that one might have with such an
experience. While the writing is very accessible, a
sense of awe and wonder is evident throughout the
entire work.

4 LightspeedRobert Buckley. From the opening
notes, everyone will know the race is on! This
high-velocity piece is built almost entirely on
fast moving-staccato eighth notes. It's inspired
by pointillism, a painting technique which uses
numerous discrete dots of color to form a distinct
image. The overall effect of the music is that of
an energetic thrill ride that is as much fun for the
audience as it is for the performers.

4 The Lullaby in the MirrorRichard L. Saucedo.
The composer wrote this moving work after

memory long after the music has ended.

Lullaby to the MoonBrian 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!

n The Machine AwakesSteven Bryant. In this
work for youth and/or community bands with
electronics, experience the sounds of something
not human waking up for the first time. From the
opening swirling textures, one senses the first
hesitant sparks of thought, attempting to find form
and coherence. The new machine then comes
fully awake, possessed of self-determination and
unfathomable purpose. The electronics for this work
are triggered from a computer via a self-contained
program which is freely downloadable from the
composer's website: http://www.stevenbryant.
