Fanfare: Generation Next Fanfare: Generation Next is a piece I wrote in honor of Mr. Dean Zirkle, long-time director of bands at Camp Hill Senior High School (near Harrisburg, PA). I had been working as Dean's marching band arranger/composer for eleven years when he announced his upcoming retirement, and I felt compelled to write a piece to pay tribute to his remarkable contributions to music education and to the lives of his students and colleagues. The piece is built on two primary ideas. The first idea is a musical rendering of the name Dean. D, E, and A are all musical notes, but N is not. I have chosen to use a neighbor tone (a note a half-step above or below a given note) to finish off the name. (MUSIC EXAMPLE) This melodic idea occurs throughout the composition in a variety of transformations. Sometimes it is presented with the exact notes shown above; sometimes the interval structure is maintained, but the pitch series is transposed (G-A-D-C#, for example); sometimes the four notes are played in order, sometimes out of order; sometimes the first three notes (D-E-A) sound together as a chord; etc. (MUSIC EXAMPLE) The second idea is a rhythmic motive, established in the opening brass fanfare. (MUSIC EXAMPLE) This rhythm is later transformed to the accent pattern shown below, which is used as an ostinato throughout much of the allegro section of the piece.      .

TRANSFORMED, new from Word Music & Church Resources, features Modern Worship
Songs informed and inspired by great hymns of the church. These aren’t hymns that have simply been revamped or reimagined within unique arrangements. Rather, they are new songs incorporating portions of a well known hymn or that have their roots and foundation in a hymn. “Blended Worship” (the term we use to describe a church that combines
the use of both worship songs and hymns as a worship style, a strategic formatting decision intended to bring together the old and the new) has now been adopted by the songwriting community as more and more songwriters are creating inspired and anointed new songs of worship which, at their core, were birthed by a hymn.

Hymns such as It Is Well with My Soul, I Need Thee Every Hour, Amazing Grace, Nothing but the Blood…all of these and more lend themselves to the creation of deeply moving, powerfully-impacting modern worship hymns for today’s contemporary evangelical church; new modern worship hymns bringing together the best of the past with the brightest of the future. Transformed, they become songs like It Is Well (Bethel), Broken Vessels (Amazing Grace) (Hillsong), Come Thou Fount, Come Thou King (Gateway)...10 new songs with a rich heritage, deep roots, and a fresh anointing…all brilliantly adapted for choir, orchestra and congregation by arrangers David Wise and Tim Paul. Immerse your congregation in moments of profound, heartfelt worship as they join with your choir in singing these new, next generation hymns.
