For Concert Wind band and Pre-recorded-Alex Shapiro first brought electroacoustic music-- paired with using an everyday object as an instrument-- to middle school bands with her 2010 piece PAPER CUT. Now comes ROCK MUSIC possibly the very first geo-electroacoustic minimalist band piece largely devoid of melody and of rhythm. Conceptual and atmospheric the music features compelling textures from instruments voices and rocks that weave a wind band into a piece of sonic fabric stretched across linear time. As the notes slowlycrawl melt and scrape over a sonic landscape in random irregular ways were connected to the ancient glaciers which carved the world we know and which we strive to protect. Like PAPER CUT ROCK MUSIC can be equally appreciated by mature bandsand their audiences as well. To perform ROCK MUSIC youll need an audio system capable of playing the prerecorded audio tracks from a laptop computer via a small digital audio interface connected to an audio mixer. Download information is providedin the printed piece. Dur: 4:15

Par BRIDGE FRANK. Frank Bridge was one of the finest English composers of the first half of the 20th century. The Pageant of London is his only work for wind band, comprising of two marches, one scored from Bridge’s best known organ piece and including the chimes ofBig Ben, plus three short renaissance pastiche items, one arranged from Playford (later used by Peter Warlock in Capriol Suite). The music is tuneful, approachable and, in the words of wind band ‘legend’ Timothy Reynish makes a fine alternative toHolst’s two suites, which were composed around the same time. Reynish has introduced this work to concert bands right across the world. It has been performed in USA and the Far East, recorded by the celebrated Kosei Wind Orchestra of Japan and alsoby the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in the Chandos edition of Bridge Orchestral Music./ Répertoire / Orchestre D'Harmonie
