A sparkling concert opener, Winner Takes All has what it takes to command attention, and to make your young band sound mature beyond their years! Fanfare flourishes introduce the piece, adding voices and countermelodies as the music develops. A middle section of contrasting dynamics and textures give variety and help make this a wonderful teaching selection. Look no further for well written and effective concert opener!

Commissioned by the Midway High School Band, NC Joshua Tew and Jesse Shelton, Directors Commission funded by the Simple Gifts Grant Fund (Clinton, NC) In memory of Deborah Tew, mother of Joshua Tew This composition is a great concert opener or festival selection for a young band. Beginning with a joyful motive and lots of featured percussion, it uses sudden dynamic changes and a dark middle section to create plenty of contrast and excitement. The ending begins very softly, building to a tension filled climax that eventually returns to the joyful motive from the beginning of the piece. Lots of fun for the musicians and the audience! Be sure to keep the tempo moving throughout--don't let it slow down or it will lose energy, especially in the soft sections. Keep articulations crisp and let the horns wail (doubles in altos). Make sure your percussionists observe the marked dynamics and do not cover the winds. Otherwise, this piece is very accessible, with reasonable ranges and rhythmic challenges. It may take a minute or two to balance the dark chords in the middle section, but it will be well worth it for the contrast. Have fun!.

Cantate Cantate Domino, cantate. Canticum novum, omnis terra, cantate. Cantate Domino, cantate. Et benedicite nomini ejus; Annuntiate de die in diem salutare ejus. Annuntiate inter gentes gloriam ejus; in omnibus populis mirabilia ejus! Translation Sing to the Lord, sing. Sing a new song, all the earth, sing. Sing to the Lord, sing.   And bless his name; Declare day by day his salvation. Declare his glory among the nations; his wonders among all people! Performance note Cantate was written to be performed as a concert opener (surrounding the audience, if possible), with Sopranos/Altos on one side (facing inward) and Tenors/Basses on the other (facing inward) to create an echo effect for the listener. Three-part divisi splits work best when voiced as SSA & TBB throughout.
