Commissioned to write a piece as a tribute to a horn playing band director friend, the composer decided it would be totally appropriate to weave melodies from Mozart's 3rd horn concerto into the fabric of this mostly original work. This is indeed a celebratory, jubilant overture, with the outer sections being in a jovial 6/8 rhythmic feel, and the slower-tempo 4/4 middle section expressively drawing on Mozart's Concerto Theme. Let your band celebrate and fully experience this musical magic!

Pippi Langstrumpf, das ebenso starke wie eigenwillige Mädchen mit den roten Zöpfen, hat in Büchern, Filmen und Fernsehserien die Herzen der Kinder und jung Gebliebenen auf der ganzen Welt erobert. Untrennbar mit der Fernsehserie verknüpft ist die fröhliche Titelmelodie, die von John Blanken in ein temperamentvolles Samba-Gewand gesteckt wurde. Auch in diesem neuen Rhythmus ist das Originallied noch klar zu erkennen. Das Schlagzeug spielt eine wichtige Rolle, ganz besonders im ad libitum spielbaren Schlagzeugsolo, dessen Dauer und Instrumentenwahl frei wählbar sind. Ausgelassen und temperamentvoll!

Realms of Endless Day is a fantasy setting of the hymn tune melody, Picardy. This melody, thought to have been named for the region in France where it is believed the melody originated, is also the melody for the hymns Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence and Christians, Let Us Love One Another, as well as the Hymn of Saint James. This enduring and tuneful melody is given three contrasting statements that gradually build to an exciting conclusion. This piece is scored for full orchestra by arranger Michael Kamuf, but will work quite effectively with strings alone. (3:30).

Courage of the Cossacks is a refreshing march in the style of Russian folk music, offering a break from the standard American march style for festival performance. Composer Ed Kiefer has scored this piece to sound sonorous throughout while highlighting all sections of the band. Directors looking for a unique march need look no further.Courage of the Cossacks was written for my friends in Union County, NC . Based on several Cossack folk tunes it is a very dark sounding march which features almost every section of the band . The trio is one of the most beautiful oppressive melodies I have ever heard, and it is set in stark contrast to the upbeat, Russian sounding opening strains . After the trio comes to a halt, the piece restarts slowly, gradually accelerating to the final strain, much like many Cossack dances . A combination of March and Dance, this piece is not too difficult to perform and is very rewarding for both students and audiences . Courage of the Cossacks is a great piece to begin or end any concert and a perfect march for showing off your group at festival .
