A Fallen Leaf stems from an event in the composer's life when he witnessed the one single leaf that had stayed on a tree all winter only to be torn off in the season's final snowstorm. Boysen's expert writing for the percussion section sets the foundation for this tragic work. A depiction of the will to survive is juxtaposed with the individual struggles, often unsuccessful, that occur in all our lives.

The Vikings is not your traditional march. This dark, angry piece follows all of the traditional march concepts, including the standard form, repeats, key changes, and even a piccolo solo over the trio, but will provide a stunning change of pace from a standard march. (4:10).
