n Prairie DancesDavid Holsinger. Taking a page
from Bernstein and Copland in both rhythms and

Full of optimism and strength, this is a musical
celebration on the new opportunities that tomorrow
brings. The music moves forward to begin, adding a
strong anticipatory energy that leads to the slower,
majestic section. A strong rhythmic pulse then
brings the music to a joyous arrival point, developing
into a gorgeous chorale with a playful woodwind
descant. The piece then delivers it's main climax

PulseRandall Standridge. An unrelenting sense
of rhythm and forward motion characterizes this
exciting opener. Inspired by the painting techniques
of the pointillism movement, the exciting themes,
minimalistic techniques and creative textural effects
all combine to create a significant work that will be
an outstanding opener or closer to any concert or
festival program.

l Red Hills SagaRobert Thurston. Have your band
take their listeners on a fictitious and most enjoyable
journey through the hills of northern Florida. They'll
hear hints of Native American stylings that add to
the uniqueness of this sophisticated concert band
piece. There is a nice pavane tempo change in the
middle section that provides a respite, breaking up
the driving outer sections of the piece.

l Red River StationJeremy Bell. A bright and
upbeat work emulating the style popularized by the
soundtrack of the great American West. Cattle drives
from Texas to Kansas included a stop at Red River
Station along the Chisholm Trail. The syncopated
rhythms and pentatonic melodies bring the vibrant
and beautiful landscape to life as we experience
the thrill of riding horseback through the Southwest.
The energetic and inventive orchestration adds to
the exciting nature of this work.

Red Rock MountainRossano Galante. This
composition is an episodic work that paints a
musical portrait of a beautiful mountain landscape.
Brass fanfares and soaring wind lines begin the
piece, transitioning into an emotional section
depicting the mountains at dusk. As the sun rises
and sheds light on its peaks, the music becomes
lyrical and rhythmically incisive, culminating in a
heroic brass finale that depicts the full grandeur of
the mountains.

l Reign of FireErik Morales. Unusual and
haunting harmonies prevail in this programmatic
and educational piece that features many of your
woodwind soloists. Scientists believe an asteroid
impacted earth millions of years ago causing
widespread destruction. This imaginative selection
illustrates the chaos which ensued after this
catastrophic event.

RephrygerationTodd Stalter. A dynamic
concert opener or closer that will most certainly cast
a spell over your audience. Fast and furious from
the outset, the breathtaking figures dart and weave
through the air like sonic lightning bolts. Aggressive
low brass figures, crisp and rhythmic percussion,
and winding passages in the woodwinds join forces
in fueling this high-powered concert work.

n RestFrank Ticheli. A lyric and moving adaptation
of an earlier SATB choral work, There Will Be Rest.
In creating this setting, the harmony, dynamics and
registration of the original have been preserved,
allowing the fragile beauty and quiet dignity to be
maintained. And while the concert band is faithful
to the choral, certain aspects have been enhanced
which keeps it independent, having its own
strengths and unique qualities.

4 Rise of the Silver CityRossano Galante. The
sweeping sounds and cinematic nature that we
look forward to from this accomplished composer
are all apparent in this resonate work. The title of
this colorful composition is derived from the city
of Meriden, Connecticut that was once the silver
capital of the world. Echoing brass flourishes,
lyrical woodwind lines and stately themes combine
to drive this majestic piece to its heroic climax.

n The Rite of Spring (Excerpts from)Igor
Stravinsky/arr. Robert Buckley. The premier
performance of this masterwork is the stuff of
legends with disagreements whether it was the
music or the choreography that caused the near-
riot of the audience. Considered to be one of the
most influential works of the 20th century, this
work laid the basis for modern jazz, film music and
even heavy metal. It's all here: the driving rhythms,
the haunting Russian folk melodies, the brilliant
scoring, the crunching harmonies and the epic
drama! True to the original, this one is a valued and
important addition to the wind band repertoire!

H River of LifeSteven Reineke. We urge you to
look at this important work! This composer is the
resident composer for the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra
and we feel that this is an incredible composition...
the highs, the lows, the development, the scoring,
the transitions, the themes...all point to a piece that
must be given a place in the band repertoire. Best
of all, is that this work will appeal on several levels,
the melodies and rhythms immediately grab you,
but on a deeper level, the composer's skill is quite
evident. Our highest recommendations!

l SanctusOla Gjeilo/arr. Ola Gjeilo & J. Eric
Wilson. Following the success of his previous
works, the composer has lent his skills in adapting
another of his well-known choral works for winds.
The densely scored and richly textured material
of the original choral work has been masterfully
adapted for winds, creating a spellbinding work of
glistening tonal colors.

Scarborough Fairarr. Andrew Boysen Jr. This
fiery setting of the well-known folk song starts
quietly, then builds to a heart-pounding finish. As
this arrangement makes up the final movement
of "Three Folk Song Settings for Band," intriguing
musical references to the previous two movements
create added interest.

1812 Overture (Highlights from)—arr. Robert Longfield. This perennial
concert favorite by Tchaikovsky has been expertly arranged for concert band
by Robert Longfield. It can stand alone as a grade 3 composition, or it can be
performed in a mass band setting by using the supplementary grade 1 and grade
2 sets of parts (sold separately). Percussionists will have a "blast" emulating
cannon sounds and church bells.

Bandorama—Larry Clark & Sandy Feldstein. In the very first performance
of this piece, the conductor performed with over 850 musicians! Talk about a
"Band-o-rama"! For years, directors have asked for pieces that can be performed
with mass bands, whether as a culminating number in a multi-school concert, or
as a recruitment tool to keep younger bandsmen motivated. In some instances,
one school will have multiple bands, each at a different ability level. This piece
will meet the need if any of this sounds familiar to you. The amazing aspect of
this piece, is that the "sets" that encompass three levels of difficulty, elementary,
middle or junior high, and high school, work as an independent piece. The music
simply gets better as the groups are combined. What a great idea!

Ode to Joy—arr. Robert Longfield. The thrilling chorus from Beethoven's
Symphony No. 9 is skillfully arranged for mass band performances. Three levels
of students, Grades 1 through 3, can perform this masterwork simultaneously,
or the Grade 3 setting can be performed alone. It's perfect for combining varying
levels of bands for an end-of-semester grand finale.

River Rendezvous (Multilevel Combined Bands)—Michael Sweeney.
While conceived as a work for multilevel band festivals, it also serves as a dynamic
standalone composition for Grade 3 bands. Representing moods and scenes
of southern Wisconsin, the two contrasting movements may be performed
separately or together. The primary themes in each movement are simple enough
for beginning players and are embellished and developed in the more advanced
levels. A multifaceted extravaganza with powerful programming possibilities.

Shorewood Overture—Michael 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!

Winged Victory (Beacons of Light)—Brian Balmages. This heroic
sounding composition begins with a soft chorale, then bursts into life with a
theme based on The Drunken Sailor. There are several performance possibilities
with this piece. Your high school band may play it as written, or the middle and/or
elementary school bands may join the older players in a combined presentation
playing the supplemental parts, available separately. A grand work!
