As the title implies, Canonic Fantasy is based on a harmonic canon that forms the basis for this excellent new concert band work. It begins slowly and dramatically and then weaves into a bold and dynamic allegro. Alert your contest list committee about this piece - it has all the makings of standard fare for contest/festival performance!

Promised Land is a serious-sounding, new piece for the developing band that sounds much more difficult than it plays, allowing your students to show off while remaining at their ability level. The title has its roots in the ideals of John Humphrey Noyes, who founded the Oneida community in the late 1840s. He built a thriving agricultural and spiritual community that became his “promised land.” The music depicts the struggles and triumph of those first settlers in the area, who worked the land and fought for their ideals through much persecution. Promised Land contains all of the rhythmic interest and memorable motives that Sean's music is so known for. It is also an excellent choice for contest/festival.

A musical tribute to the tallest mountain on the earth, this brilliant mono-thematic work has striking bell-like effects in the brass and makes superb use of a large percussion section. Contrasts in texture and articulation are numerous and the music is alternately bold, aggressive and haunting. This is another fine selection that can be considered for contest and festival use. Duration: 5'30.

Arrival at Normandy depicts the entry into Normandy by our forces on D-Day. The tune uses only the first 6 notes learned in most band method and the most difficult rhythm is quarter note based in the winds. Perfect contest/festival showcase piece for a beginning band. .

This piece drives from the start with bold trumpet flourishes and interjections from the rest of the band. After the exciting first section, a lyrical second theme departs to something beautiful and lush in harmonic structure. The development section is based on the opening theme, eventually leading the piece back, followed by a dynamic brass flourish in the coda. A solid choice by a known composer for contests and festivals.
