le Free Running—Robert Buckley. Free Running is an exciting, high velocity tour-de-force that will keep both musicians and listeners on the edge of their seats. Its inspiration came from parkour, a form of urban acrobatics in which participants (known as free runners) use landscape structures to perform catlike leaps and sprints. The resulting creation features staccato melodies moving rhythmically through various sections of the ensemble. Exhilarating! 10316464 Band Set & Score ........ 85.00 10316465 Additional Score ......... 15.00
4e Along an English Countryside—Richard L. Saucedo. Composed in 12/8 at an energetic tempo, this masterful work is a tribute to the late Sir Malcolm Arnold, one of the most notable English composers of our time. The opening section features short solo statements of the theme which lead to well-timed and impressive declarations from the entire ensemble. Playfully solemn moods are skillfully captured in a brief yet impressive manner. An excellent choice for a concert opener. 10316466 Band Set & Score ........ 85.00 10316467 Additional Score ......... 10.00
l Let the Amen Sound—Travis J. Cross. Let the Amen Sound is based on Joachim Neander's 17-century chorale Lobe den Herren, known in English as "Praise to the Lord." The hymn tune is stated first by a solo flute accompanied by percussion and muted trumpets evoking the sound of liturgical bells. Three variations follow that represent the playful exuberance of childhood, the sentimental dance of youth, and the triumphant celebration of lives well lived. A dramatic and rewarding addition to the wind band repertoire. 10318666 Band Set & Score ....... 115.00 10318667 Additional Score ......... 15.00

l Danzon No. 2—Arturo Marquez/arr. Nickel. In its original orchestral form, Danzon No. 2 has enjoyed significant popularity on performance programs everywhere. The danzon, itself, was Cuban-born, from a natural synthesis of Spanish, British, and French dance forms. As Marquez has discovered, "the apparent lightness of the danzon is only like a visiting card for a type of music full of sensuality and qualitative seriousness." Of Danzon No. 2, Joseph Stevenson writes for All Music Guide, "The composition is built on a beautiful, elegant main theme, stated at the outset on clarinet. It preserves both the traditional rondo form and the tendency to begin in a state of restraint and erupt into passionate rhythms later." Oliver Nickel's arrangement for concert band is suitable for Grade 5 and above. 10085080 Set of Parts Only........ 169.95 10087710 Additional Score ......... 39.95

le Quirks—Brant Karrick. With a title defined as a sudden sharp turn or an unpredictable peculiarity of behavior or action, Quirks demonstrates the capricious nature of its musical character. The music vacillates between fast and slow, happy and sad, extroverted and introverted, never
leading where you expect. The winds and percussion have plenty of interplay as notes of the main motive are tossed about. A tour-de-force for advanced bands. 10312513 Band Set & Score ....... 125.00 10312514 Additional Score ......... 15.00

A bold selection for mature ensembles. 10312663 Band Set & Score ........ 85.00 10312664 Additional Score ......... 11.00

l Metal—Brian Balmages. Metal may be used as a concert opener or closer, and refers to two different types of "metal." The first type is that of the considerable use of metallic sounds in the percussion section. The second inspiration actually comes from the genre of "heavy metal." There are several instances throughout the piece that suggest a strong heavy metal influence. A truly unique piece for mature ensembles. 10312661 Band Set & Score ........ 90.00 10312662 Additional Score ......... 10.00
