Whisper to Their SoulsSamuel R. Hazo. Here
is a unique and creative setting of the familiar tune
Greensleeves (What Child Is This?) that opens with
the melody scored softly for the woodwinds. The
full ensemble contributes a series of harmonically
rich phrases until the work reaches and emotional
climax at the powerfully scored key change. While

challenging and captivating work that grabs your

Winds of ChangeRandall Standridge. Winds
that flow across the landscape now provide
energy - and the inspiration for this piece. The
quiet introduction depicts the great open spaces
that stretch for miles as gentle morning breezes
begin. Small gusts of wind, represented by scale
passages and arpeggiated figures, dance across
the landscape. The pace picks up until the music
soars, much like the wind racing across the land,
turning the turbines and charging exuberantly
towards the future.
