Blue Valley Spirit is an intermediate string orchestra piece inspired by the adventurous spirit of pioneers. Structured in ternary form, it portrays the excitement of embarking on a new journey through fast tempos, lively rhythms, and energetic melodies. The middle section offers a contemplative, lyrical melody with notes from the pentatonic scale, evoking wonder and reflection. The final section recaptures the initial excitement with added confidence, building to a joyous finale that celebrates the adventurers' triumph. Accessible and crowd-pleasing, the composition captures the determination and success of pioneer adventurers.

The inspiration for this three-part work goes back to the International European Youth Wind Music Festival, of which the patron has been Jacob de Haan several times. It begins in a festive march tempo, then sacred music, instrumental groups playing offstage and a little march for brass and flutes. The third movement is a parade in which the various sections of the ensemble head towards the stage from different directions. Even without the effective choreography of the musicians, Call of the Valley is an impressive concert band composition. Duration: 5:15.

Red River Valley is one of the most beloved folk songs of the American west, and this setting for the Rising Band series puts it in the grasp of second year band students. The flowing melody is perfectly suited for teaching phrasing, tone, and balance, and the git ‘along backgrounds contrast while retaining the flavor of its cowboy heritage. An excellent lyrical selection for young bands.
