l Fiesta de los TorosBrian Balmages. Inspired
by the fire and passion of Latin music, this colorful
work explores styles originating everywhere from
Spain to Cuba. The music evokes images of the
festivals, dances, and pure adrenaline of cultures
known for their passion and intensity. Styles include
an opening salsa, a short merengue interlude, a
bold paso doble (featuring the percussion section), a
delightful habanera, and a fiery Afro-Cuban section.

Finale from "Symphony No. 1" (Revised

Heidenreich. Vasily Kalinnikov, a contemporary of

he was establishing himself as one of the great
Russian composers. Originally published in 1958,
this updated edition features a revised full score
and parts for optional antiphonal brass choir.

H First Suite in E FlatGustav Holst/ed. Matthews.
Widely acclaimed as the first major wind band
composition of the 20th century, this excellent
work, which has served as a model for the modern
concert band repertoire, is as fresh today as when
it was first written. No band library can be called
complete unless it contains this monumental work.

n Four Dances from "West Side Story"Leonard
Bernstein/trans. Polster. Scherzo, Mambo, Cha-
Cha and Fugue are the dance movements which
comprise this wonderful transcription by Ian
Polster. Your audience will delight in the marvelous
Bernstein music as realized for concert band, and

n FuriosoGary P. Gilroy. Wild and passionate,
mature ensembles will love this challenging work.
The tempos and dynamic ranges are extreme,
fueling an intense and persistent energy. Aided by
constantly shifting meters, the nervous energy and
pulse builds to a crashing climax that subsides into
a "smoking fuse" section. This then reignites the
introductory material, only faster now, to bring this
exhilarating work to a fantastic close.

FusionBrian Balmages. Just as the title
suggests, this three-movement contemporary work
draws from various types of pop music and dance
forms and sets them in a symphonic framework.
The opening movement, Overture, is a short fanfare
based loosely around Irish dance rhythms and
melodies. The second movement, Ballad, gets its
inspiration from a variety of aspects of pop ballads.
Fusion, the final movement, is a combination of
rock, funk, swing and classical music in a modern
setting. Intense and driving!

n Ghost Train-Complete (Score and parts)Eric
Whitacre. An extremely programmatic work that tells
a story from American folklore of a supernatural train
that roars throughout the Western United States.
The first movement, Ghost Train, is rich in effects in
describing the locomotive. The second movement,
At the Station, replaces the vivid train sounds
with more abstract ideas in depicting departing
passengers. The third movement, Motive Revolution,
has the train resuming its ghostly journey.

H Ghost Train-Movement 1 (Score and parts)
Eric Whitacre. One of the most popular works of
modern band literature; the first movement is
a very effective program piece. Resplendent in
compositional effects that describe a spectral
steam locomotive with the eerie sound of a
train whistle, the gradual start of journey and its
relentless movement throughout the countryside. A
true classic!
2332591 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . 150.00
GloriaRandol Alan Bass. Originally composed
for full orchestra and chorus, Gloria is a splendid
transcription of one of the most critically acclaimed
works written for the holiday season. The setting
contains multi-metric, dance-like rhythmic sections
contrasted with passages of singing, romantic
lyricism. A true masterwork!

that a concert has just begun! Dynamic brass
hits, woodwind runs, shimmering chorales and
percussion breaks keep both the player and the
listener on the edge of their seats during this tour-
de-force overture. Guaranteed to raise the heart
rate of anyone within earshot!

God's CountryRossano Galante. From the
most statuesque mountain ranges to our grandest
waterfalls, this sweeping composition depicts the
picturesque landscapes that have existed since the
beginning of time. Soaring melodic lines, epic brass
fanfares, and emotionally charged harmonies will
take your performers on an unforgettable journey
to these monumental wonders of nature.

n Goddess of FireSteven Reineke. Once again
composer Steven Reineke brings us a work of
profound impact. The mysterious and intriguing
opening draws the listener into a dazzling world
of symphonic colors as tribal percussion hints of
ancient traditions and rituals. Sections of beautiful
melodic content serve as a backdrop to the intense
and almost savage character of the fierce 10/8
development. A masterful work that will leave a
lasting impression.

n Godzilla Eats Las VegasEric Whitacre. An
original work best described in the composer's
own words as being "really out there." The
writing reflects a keen interest in theater, film and
television, with the structure of the piece being very
filmlike in its rapid changes of style. A unique and
memorable work.

n Groovy LoopsJ. Scott McKenzie. This short,
energetic, and jazzy piece is a lot of fun to play
and listen to. The title refers to repeated patterns
and phrases that provide support for the melodies
and intertwined syncopated lines. A large palette
of colors with moving lines, percussive effects, and
rich harmonies make this an essential part of every
band's library!

H Gum-Suckers MarchPercy Grainger/arr. Mark
Rogers. This delightful work is "pure" Grainger!
Originally the final movement of his suite "In a
Nutshell," Grainger rescored this piece for Military
Band, Piano and Tuneful Percussion. Written in his
most popular English "music hall" style, you'll find
lots of those wonderful "Grainger-isms" here, along
with some substantial difficulty.

n Handel in the StrandPercy Grainger/arr.
Goldman. Percy Grainger himself said of this piece,
"...the music seemed to reflect both Handel and
English musical comedy...as if jovial old Handel
were careening down the Strand (London's
"Broadway") to the strains of modern English
popular music." What can one add to that? Try it
and find out!

n Head RushJay Bocook. Employing a
minimalist approach, this dynamic piece uses
layers of constantly evolving textures and
rhythmic devices, while propelled throughout
by an energetic underlying pulse. Sprinkled with
surprises and dramatic effects, and culminating
with the full force of the entire ensemble, Head
Rush is a dramatic and unique addition to the
repertoire for mature ensembles.

H Hoe DownAaron Copland/arr. Mark Rogers.
Next to "Appalachian Spring," this is perhaps
Copland's most recognizable composition. It is the
final movement of his suite Four Dance Episodes
from "Rodeo," which is drawn from his Ballet score
of the same name. Wildly exuberant and charged
with energy, this arrangement by Mark Rogers can
fit into just about any program!

n Hymn to a Blue HourJohn Mackey. The blue
hour refers to the moment of day between twilight
and complete darkness, a time of day known for
its romantic, spiritual, ethereal qualities. The colors
of fading light are beautifully reflected in sound by
various instrumental combinations and textures.
Building to a brilliant climax, the brightest moment
is reached before dissipating slowly into a warm,
peaceful finish, as the light fades to darkness.
A stunning work.

H
InchonRobert W. Smith. Honoring the "forgotten
war," Robert W. Smith offers this significant work
in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Korean
conflict. It's beautifully scored to balance the
delicate oriental melodies with the dramatic and
frenzied passages that mirror the conflict. Colorfully
orchestrated, with percussion simulating the sound
of a helicopter landing and parts for piano and
alto flute (with cues for C flute), it is a thoroughly
stunning tonal collage. A significant, expansive
work, one which experienced concert bands will
proudly add to their repertoire. We give this our
highest recommendation!

H
The InfernoRobert W. Smith. Truly colossal!
This is the first movement of Robert Smith's epic
work "The Divine Comedy." Advanced groups will
welcome the challenges and reap the rewards
inherent in the piece. Very contemporary in nature,
The Inferno includes furious woodwind ostinatos,
huge blocks of sound, tremendous percussion, and
the imagery of Hell's inferno! Not for the faint of heart.

H Irish Tune from County Derry/Shepherd's Hey
Percy Grainger/arr. Kent. Performable either
together or separately, the first selection (more
commonly known by the title Danny Boy) is a
masterful example of the pure beauty of sound and
melody, while Shepherd's Hey is a sprightly dance.

n Joy (from "Awakening")Joseph Curiale. This
positively overflows with joy! An outstanding work
for festival or concert programs, this is very worthy
of your consideration. Interesting metrical shifts,
bold statements, and well-placed playful motives
add up to an overall creative musical experience.
Elements of an "American" sound harkens to the
music of Copland, yet is found here distinctly fresh
and new. Taken from Curiale's orchestral work
"Awakening," with the optional harp part included.
Highly recommended!
