l A Scottish BalladPhil Stonebarger. This
delightfully musical setting uses the moving
Scottish ballad The Water Is Wide as a source of
melodic material. This expressive treatment of
the very early popular folk melody is enhanced
with marvelous countermelodies and carefully
constructed phrasing. A flowing piece that is very
playable and appealing in its simple beauty.

ScrambleTodd Stalter. A tumultuous
concert opener or closer intended to depict two
characteristics of the title, the frantic collecting of
things together in a disorderly way, and darting about
quickly with a sense of urgency. Once the theme is
presented the fun really starts! The action revs up
as the musical "parts" are separated and combined
in unique and haphazard combinations, all at break-
neck speed that will leave everyone breathless!

H SedonaSteven Reineke. Don't miss this
distinctive composition! Having has had several
wonderful pieces published already, this successful
composer has captured in musical ideas the natural
landscape of mountains and wide open spaces,
and uses them to paint a musical canvas that is

short, memorable theme runs throughout the work,
showing up in a delicate flute solo, an intricate
woodwind fugue, a warm trombone solo, and a
bold, triadic trumpet statement that will pick you
up right out of your seat. A marvelous piece that we

n SerenityOla Gjeilo/trans. J. Eric Wilson.
Beautifully arranged by J. Eric Wilson along
with the composer, this version for wind band
maintains all the wonder and magic of the original
choral work. The opening is ethereal and somber,
with sustained chords in clarinets and bowed
percussion supporting a delicate oboe solo. The
middle section shifts the principal modality from
minor to major, and the layering orchestration
and rising tessitura creates a tremendous
rush of energy that leads to a triumphant
climax. The closing section returns to the timbre
of the opening, but now painted with hopefulness
and healing.

Shock WaveGary D. Ziek. Driven by a constant

wonderful introduction to "minimalist" music and one
of America's treasured contemporary composers.

Shrine of the Fallen (Kiev 2014)Brian
Balmages. Written in response to the tragic events in
Kiev in 2014, this music draws on the old Ukrainian
folk song Plyve Kacha, which became an anthem for
many protestors as a symbol of national pride while
also mourning the fallen. Described by the composer
as Arabian Dances meets Moscow, 1941, the music
is incredibly powerful yet introspective. Quotes of the
Ukrainian national anthem add to the intensity of the
music, which features the instrumentalists singing
in four-part harmony at the very end of the piece.
Absolutely stunning!

based on the songs: In Yonder Valley; Dance; Hear,
Take This Lovely Flower and Simple Gifts. Some of
the movements can stand alone in performance, as
your programming needs dictate.
