This action packed piece has a definite cinematic quality to it, and a title to match! Popular composer Sean O'Loughlin brings a wealth of musical sophistication to this contest/festival choice.Phantom’s Escape draws its title from a ski run at Mammoth mountain near Yosemite National Park in the Sierra Mountains. While skiing there, the name inspired me to create some original music with its roots in modern film scoring. The composition is in a traditional ABA form with contrasting sections. The music is both aggressive and passionate and provides some great teaching elements for the more mature string orchestra. At the beginning of the piece, the pulsing in the low voices sets the stage for the drama to come. I have always loved the pairing of eighth-note triplets and standard eighth notes in the same line. This is evident in the melodic element in the section starting at m. 7. Be sure not to rush the triplets here. A dramatic pulsing figure takes over at m. 21, then begins to deconstruct at m. 25.A mechanical-like rhythmic figure ensues at m. 31 to provide the accompaniment to the main melody in augmentation in the celli. The violas add some imitation to this at m. 39 that leads us to a more lyrical passage at m. 46. This lyricism continues to evolve at m. 51 with a multitude of inner counterpoint lines. The music pulls back at m. 59 to set up the big build-up into m. 73. The combination of eighth notes, eighth-note triplets and sixteenth notes creates some exciting textures leading into the passionate section at m. 73. The opening section returns at m. 86. This builds into the unison gesture at m. 120 to bring the music to a dramatic conclusion.

Anklange an Tanzmusik, Blicke auf Gestalten, die im Laufe des Lebens vorbeiziehen, auf Statten und Viertel meines Wiens, Blicke durch den Schleier von Tranen des Gedenkens, der Gegenwart und der Segenswunsche. Die ersten vier Stucke dieses sehr personlichen Zyklus sind Votivgaben an meine Jugend. Der ,,Wiedner Tanz evoziert die elegante Atmosphare entlang der Garten des Belvedere und des Palais Schwarzenberg, den taglichen Weg meines Vaters in die Direktion der Universal Edition im Musikvereinsgebaude - jene gluckliche Zeit, in der ich den grossten Komponisten der Epoche nahe sein durfte. Im ,,Gersthofer ist das schmerzliche Bild meines Grossvaters gezeichnet, der diese idyllische Vorstadt nach der Arisierung seiner kleinen Schokoladefabrik verlassen musste, seine Gesundheit nach dem 2.Weltkrieg mit dem Ziehen eines Mobelkarrens durch die verwusteten Strassen Wiens ruinierte, um erst auf dem Friedhof wieder in diesen Bezirk zuruckzukehren. ,,Rossauer beschreibt das an Hingabe reiche, judisches und katholisches Erbe verbindende Leben meiner Tante. Zum Kreise unserer Familienangehorigen zahle ich auch jene von uns Kindern ihres Humors und ihrer Lebensfreude wegen ins Herz geschlossene Frau, die unserem Haushalt uber Jahrzehnte hilfreich zur Seite stand. Es folgen Gaben an drei Freunde: ein langsamer Tanz uber die Initialen der Germanistin und Kunsthistorikerin Annette Bohm, eine graziose Volte fur den rheinlandischen Wiener Michael Niessen, die Seele der Bosendorfer pianoe und eine Hommage an die Schubert-Forscherin Walburga Litschauer. Als ich 2003 nach 17 Jahren Abwesenheit wieder nach Wien zuruckkehrte, schrieb ich fur meine Frau einen kleinen Tanz, die Quelle des vorliegenden Zyklus. Aber die Evokation unserer neuen Verortung blieb Illusion; so umgibt den ,,Penzinger die leise Melancholie um ein unerreichtes Arkadien. Der meinen Kindern gewidmete ,,Gumpendorfer beschliesst die Sammlung mit einer zuversichtlichen Geste. (T.D. Schlee).

American Visions is a fast-paced and energetic composition featuring rousing brass fanfares, lively woodwind motives, and driving percussion. It was initially inspired to embody the sense of American vigor and patriotism. Musically, the main motive at mm. 4-12 runs throughout the piece and vacillates between duple and triplet rhythms. Players should be mindful to differentiate between the two rhythms, so there is clarity. Measure 39 represents a contrasting section, and should be thought of as dark and warm sounding as possible. I intended that the section would resemble the overall timbre of orchestral strings, and players could think of that when performing the piece. Measure 55 presents a triplet rhythmic motive that must be precise in timing and dynamics. At m. 66, be sure that the main melodic motive and the tenor saxophone, low brass, and chimes countermelody can be heard through the ensemble's texture. Measure 73 uses bell tone articulations that build to standard articulations at m. 76. Thank you for playing my composition.American Visions is a fast-paced and energetic composition featuring rousing brass fanfares, lively woodwind motives, and driving percussion.

In 2011, the Cornell University Glee Club premiered Shulamit Ran’s SONNET 73 in its original voicing for men’s chorus, which they commissioned. The following year, Ran made this S.A.T.B. adaptation of her tender choral setting of Shakespeare’s 73rd sonnet, commissioned and premiered by the University of Chicago Rockefeller Chapel Choir, presented here in a full-size open score plus rehearsal piano reduction.

Aztec Gold is an excellent concert opener for a developing band. Composer Joseph Compello, drawing on his many years of experience as a teacher, is known for writing very intriguing music for younger students. This piece would be a great opportunity for cross-curricular instruction with a school's history department. Aztec Gold is also a perfect selection to highlight a band's strengths in contest or festival performance.Aztec Gold is an excellent concert opener for a moderately advanced band. Measures 1–73 are to be performed in a marcato style with an underlying feel of rhythmic unrest. Beginning at m. 19, the triangle player must be able to execute a damping effect on the second eighth note of beat 2. Young players will require instruction in this technique. The accented sixteenth notes in the timpani part, which first appear in mm. 17-18, should be prominent. They also appear at mm. 89 and 91, and mm. 124 and 126. The contrasting middle section at m. 73 should have the same unsettled rhythmic feel beneath the more flowing lines in the woodwinds. The syncopated accents which appear beginning m. 121 will easily fall into place once young players understand that the accents occur three eighth notes apart.
