This programmatic work illustrates the eeriness and ferocity of a vast, sub-zero wilderness uninhabitable by man. With optional piano part, the opening calm includes dissonant ostinato patterns paired with semi-melodic motifs. The ensuing storm erupts with driving rhythms and a bold melody as the music barrels into a whirlwind of flurry before returning to a sense of unsettled calm. A highly engaging work.

Not well received in its earliest performances, Mennin's Fantasia was impressive enough to engender fondest hopes for the young composer's promise when he would reach his 30s! Its two movements are somewhat darker than Mennin's usual tone, but have held up very well in the decades since. The Fantasia can be especially illuminating to listeners new to Mennin's music because it displays, simply and clearly, virtually all the principles upon which most of his later works are constructed. (Walter Simmons, The Music of William Schuman, Vincent Persichetti, and Peter Mennin: Voices of Stone and Steel).

Dynamic and highly spirited, the bold opening quickly sets the stage for lush harmonies, driving rhythms and a variety of tonal colors. An excellent way to announce the beginning of your concert while leaving plenty of endurance for the rest of the program!

This arrangement of the Panic! At the Disco hit High Hopes is perfect for strings! Very smooth, rhythmic transitions and easy playability. It is arranged for 2 different grade levels, so you can include more performers with different playing levels. This can be performed at 2 different tempos with the play along tracks: 164 and 140. The middle section, measure 81, opens up the phrasing for a more legato flavor. Great fun to play! (3:45).

The exploits of the legendary Tuskegee Airmen come alive in this musical tour-de-force! The opening militaristic theme pays homage to these heroes as they approach their aircraft and prepare to take flight. The music suddenly spikes in tempo and leads into an intense aerial battle, with brass and percussion replicating the sounds of fighter jets and artillary. Ultimately, the music careens to an explosive conclusion. Sensational!

SONATA CHO-CHO-SAN(Based on themes from Puccini’s Madama Butterfly)In the spirit of the great 19th-century opera fantasies for woodwinds, Michael Webster has created a concert trio on the many great arias from Puccini's Madama Butterfly. However, as its name implies, Sonata Cho-Cho-San is not the typical virtuosic operatic potpourri. Rather, it follows the plot, resembling a sonata mirroring Puccini's use of recurring and developing themes. Webster makes the most of the winds as versatile performers - equally suited to deliver Puccini's beautiful vocal writing, and to ornament and embroider the poignant themes in symphonic style. For advanced performers._______________________________________Text from the scanned back cover:Born in 1944, Michael Webster made his New York recital debutat Town Hall in 1968 with his eminent father, Beveridge Webster, as pianist.
