Frigyes Hidas (1928-2007) was the most prolific Hungarian composer for wind ensembles, and his works are the most often performed. His worldwide popularity is based on works such as Balettzene (Ballet music), Vidam zene (Cheerful music), El nem tancolt balett (Undanced ballet), Requiem and Save the Sea. His folk song suites, which are enormously popular in his homeland, are fine examples of Hidas' mature style in the genre of folk song arrangements. The first suite works up nine folk songs of differing character and atmosphere, while the second, with its recurrent structure, makes use of five melodies, creating a modern harmonic environment around them and thereby highlighting even more the beauty of the melodies. To perform these works effectively, ample technique is required, as well as an ability to shape the music freely. Highly recommended for ensembles with an interest in Hungarian wind music and folklore.

Although more famous for his incidental music to A Midsummer Night's Dream, Mendelssohn was commissioned by the King of Prussia to provide music for Racine's religious drama Athalie, which includes the War March of the Priests. The march tune draws its energy from a repeating triplet figure in the introduction, and features a nice legato contrasting section. A great opportunity to teach style and nuance! (2:45).

Designed to showcase the percussion and trumpet sections of the band, Wake Up for Christmas has an inherently funny premise: that kids need to be awakened on Christmas! Mixing bits of Reveille with settings of two familiar Christmas time songs, Jingle Bells and Hark! the Herald Angels Sing, as well as fragments of assorted other seasonal tunes, this selection should bring a smile to the face of even the most committed Scrooge. The combining of all the elements at the climax is an inspired touch that ends this cheerful seasonal novelty with a bang!
