Catalina March, an original composition by Steve Hodges, contains elements of both traditional and contemporary marches. The spirited opening theme features a playful give-and-take between the brass and the upper woodwinds. A contrasting minor trio section is presented by the clarinets, saxophones and horns before returning to a charming woodwind variation of the initial presentation. Following an effective modulation, the piece finishes with a powerful restatement of the opening theme with woodwind countermelodies complementing the strong brass and percussion. This exciting march would be an excellent way to begin a concert! (2:35).

Taken from the Sarum rite, this text has long been the object of many composers' affection and in this case, is allowed to take shape within a moderately narrow vocal range. The uncomplicated imitation within the music enhances the simplicity of this ancient prayer as each part sings each phrase, rhythmically uniting at the final request: God be at my end..

From the pen of Rob Romeyn comes this powerful and dramatic programmatic work that sounds straight out of a blockbuster movie soundtrack! The music begins with a delicate statement presented by a solo flute, answered by a solo clarinet soaring above transparent harmonies, leading to a beautiful expressive section. From here, the music takes off with an aggressive display of emotion and power, captivating the audience with high intensity. Multiple sections of the ensemble are featured melodically and harmonically as we continue our journey. Many changes in dynamics, harmonic structure, textures, and varied scoring techniques not only enhance the excitement, but make this an outstanding teaching piece. After a breathtaking climax, the expressive section returns, more developed this time. The piece then ends aggressively, sure to have your audience on the edge of their seat until the last note. Don't miss this significant addition to the concert band repertoire!
