Morpheus—Randall 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.

playable and appealing in its simple beauty.

This Cruel Moon—John Mackey. This terrific
work is a wonderful adaptation of the middle
movement of the larger work Wine-Dark Sea:
Symphony for Band. It's meant to represent the
song of the beautiful and immortal nymph Kalypso
who saves Odysseus, falls in love with him, and
ultimately loses him. The music is very expressive,
with quiet moments of tenderness that swell to
moving climaxes, finally subsiding to close with a
moving touch of sadness and loss.

Virgo—George Sweet. A lush and dramatic
piece for concert band that reflects upon loved
ones lost, in this case in remembrance of the
composer's late brother whose astrological sign
was Virgo. It's an emotional harmonic journey
with well-placed dissonance tied together by a
memorable motive. Musically, this piece has deep
meaning and will stretch your young players' ability
to achieve musical elegance.

and depth before subsiding to a quiet and hauntingly
beautiful finish.

With Skies Parted—Brian Drake. Rays of sun
dancing through a cloudy sky are beautifully painted
in sound. The main theme is skillfully presented in
different guises, shifting throughout the work much
like clouds that change shape as they move across
the sky. Various solos are cross-cued and provide
spotlight moments on individual players as the work
unfolds. A calm yet joyful expression of emotion!
