n Reign of FireJeremy Bell. A powerful and
percussive opening combines with heavy accents
by the entire band for a piece that can't be
ignored. The following lyrical melody and warm
accompaniment create a unique contrast for the
more bombastic sections that recur throughout
the work. Fun, exciting, and bold, this will grab
everyone's attention right from the start.

l Renaissance ReimaginedBrian Balmages.
This stunning work pays homage to regal
Renaissance-style music while completely

The noble nature is represented by themes that

blending duple and triple meters for an aggressive
and glorious closing climax.

ReverberationsBrian Balmages. This explosive
short concert fanfare explores various sounds as
they echo throughout the ensemble. Based entirely
on a two-note motif, the music makes use of
minimalist techniques while adding fanfare themes
and an extensive percussion backdrop. The end
of the work reverses the direction of the motif as
the woodwinds echo each other while the brass
present the final powerful statements. An incredible
contemporary opener!

4 RevolutionGary D. Ziek. Bold and restless like
most revolutions, this piece combines a sense of
passion and hope with anxious undercurrents.
Mounting levels of musical tension build relentlessly
like a restless mob that grows and intensifies as it
charges through the streets. A quiet waltz-like section
slows the action, gradually taking on a more anxious
and almost sinister nature which then charges forth
to the frenzied and triumphant conclusion.

Beeler. Also known by the title Lovely, this popular

perfectly suited for concert band.

Rhythms and RiffsBrian Balmages. The title
of the piece says it all! This refreshing composition
is based entirely on different rhythms and melodic
riffs. The syncopated figures and close harmonies
give it a slight rock feel without detracting from the
seriousness of the piece. Sure to add a breath of
fresh air to any concert!

n Rivers (Movement II of "Georgian Suite")
Samuel Hazo. This poignant composition uses the
analogy of a river that, when divided, maintains its
identity, yet becomes two separate entities. Three
themes, each representing a different branch of one
river, are presented individually then come together
in splendid fashion at the end. Very tenderly written.

n RuckusRandall Standridge. The dictionary
defines "ruckus" as a noisy commotion, fracas or
rumpus and this very original work is just that. Loud,
boisterous, aggressive and mixed meter, heavy
percussion and thumping rhythm give this piece a
decidedly urban feel. No doubt your students will be
musically entranced by this powerfully rhythmic, yet
sophisticated work.

a great choice for your band's next performance.
This exciting work introduces a fast and furious
syncopated pace that explores alternating
rhythmic groupings of two and three. Driving
percussion and changing moods create special
musical tension between the syncopated melodic
lines and flowing harmonies. Given its significant
flair and unique musical flavor, this work will have
a tremendous appeal.

certain to remain one for many years.

4 Scottish Highland OvertureNathan Jones.
Take a musical stroll through the Scottish highlands
with this picturesque selection. This overture
is based on an original melody with a Scottish-
sounding flair. It opens in a lively and articulated
style, based loosely in the Dorian mode. The slower
middle section features a flowing horn solo, followed
by a return to the opening material that marches the
music forward to its rousing Celtic conclusion.

bottles and jars are tumbled by the sea and sand,

both man and nature.

facility through music and special effects provided
by pop bottle flutes.

4 Shadows UnseenTodd Stalter. Using modified
student-submitted melodic examples and ideas,
this work is a uniquely collaborative piece. The
mysterious sounds evoke figures of darkness that
exist in the shadows around us, some of which we
keep to ourselves. The music develops effectively
and ends optimistically, reminding us that the
shadows are small compared to the light that can
create or erase them.

4 The Shady Grovearr. Travis J. Weller. This
memorable Civil War-era folk song has a distinctively
haunting quality. The moving melody opens the
piece on a slightly melancholy note that leads to
the spirited middle section, glistening with good-
natured rhythmic activity. Adding to the authenticity,
the entertaining addition of washboard and spoons
brings this catchy bluegrass tune to life, helping us
connect to this delightful American folk song.

choice for either concert or contest!

n Shalom!arr. Philip Sparke. Renowned composer
Philip Sparke brings elements of the long history
of Jewish folksong to life in this rich and varied
suite for concert band! A wide spectrum of moods
are presented in the three movements including
traditional songs: V'ha'ir Shushan; Havdala; Hanerot
Halalu; Ba'olam Haba; Mishenichnas Adar; Ani Purim
and Yom Tov Lanu. All movements together take over
nine minutes to perform, but each movement can
stand alone as well, making this appropriate for
concert, contest and holiday programs. We are proud
to give this our highest recommendation!

and grandeur; capturing the noble American spirit
inherent in the song. The conductor has ample
freedom for interpretation and expression, an
important factor in contest use.

Shorewood OvertureMichael Sweeney.
Shorewood Overture is designed to be performed
by multi-level bands. Rather than the typical
massed band number in which everyone plays at
once, this ingenious overture allows each level to
be featured briefly by itself, along with sections
when everyone plays together. In addition, the
Level 3 parts include cues, allowing the work to be
performed by a single ensemble. This is ideal for
district-wide festivals!
