Composed for the United States Air Force Academy, Aces pays tribute to those that soar the skies. Beginning with a brilliant and majestic fanfare, the piece quickly develops through bold musical material wrought with tension and energy. Following the return of the opening theme in a beautiful and lyrical setting, Aces culminates in a flurry of excitement as our jets soar into the distance. A spectacular new work by Robert W. Smith for the accomplished concert band!

Designed by a master of writing for this grade level, Bases Are Aces was written to encourage the low brass and woodwind players, while still being fun for the whole band to play. A great recruitment piece, it will motivate the frequently overlooked members of the low instrument contingent, who anchor the band. Some simple syncopations, such as a spoken line by the other members of the band (How low can you go?) and a brief, repeated, cadenza, add to the fun of this clever piece. Duration: 3' 10.

“Second of the series of ?Four Faces? by Darius Milhaud, II. The Wisconsonian is a short piece for Alto and Piano. Easy to play, it requires some technique of the instrument and some theory knowledge to read in different keys. The book includes the parts for Viola and Piano and for Viola only. The music is cheerful and quite fast, with the Viola part playing mainly semisquavers alternating up and down every two bars. It is supposed to represent an American girl coming from Wisconsin. She is part of the four faces with: I. The Californian girl, II. The Wisconsonian and IV. The Parisian girl. Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) was a French modernist composer and a teacher. He was also part of the Les Six and was strongly influenced by Jazz. His opus list ended at 443.”.
