Jan Van der Roost received the commission for this work from the ?Orchestre d?Harmonie du Val d?Aoste? and dedicated the composition to Lino Blanchod the conductor of the orchestra. The first performance was on 26th January 1997 by the orchestra itself and under the direction of the composer. This extensive symphonic poem depicts the atmosphere and history of the autonomous French speaking region ?Val d?Aoste? in northern Italy and is meant as a musical homage to the historical figure CathƩrine de Challant.The opening of this piece describes the rugged nature of this region dominated by Mont Blanc the roof of Europe. A brief combative passage conjures up the numerous warsfought here through the ages later expanding into a surprising ?Renaissance Dance? with an original and fitting recorder quartet. A broad lyrical theme portrays the love that has always played an important role here. After recapturing several of the earlier themes the piece closes with the renaissance dance this time played by the brass. A spectacular finale brings this symphonic poem to a close.

Commissioned by the Iowa Bandmasters Association this dynamic new work from Michael Sweeney is written in three contrasting sections. The opening ?Lament? features a plaintive F Horn melody and expansive harmonies.The mood then shifts to an intensely rhythmic dance using an unusual modal scale. In the final section the flutes switch to recorders and a driving percussion ostinato figure helps propel this magnificent piece to a dramaticending. A rewarding and satisfying work from one of today's best composers for young bands.

Standard US Set (without european suppl. parts)-Perfect Trip derives its title from the horse racing term which refers to the flawless performance of a winning steed. It was written for the 20th anniversary concert of the Ridgewood Concert Band in New Jerseyat the request of the band's founding director Dr. C. Christian Wilhjelm. The piece itself lasts not much more than a typical one mile horse race and depicts the event from the observer's perspective: the initial burst of energyat the starting gate and the ensuing excitement approaching the first turn the suspense as the race develops along the far stretch and the increasing drama as the pack rounds the final turn and heads down the stretch for the bigfinish. Recorded by the Ridgewood Concert Band Christian Wilhjelm conductor. (Grade 4)

For Concert Wind band and Pre-recorded-Alex Shapiro first brought electroacoustic music-- paired with using an everyday object as an instrument-- to middle school bands with her 2010 piece PAPER CUT. Now comes ROCK MUSIC possibly the very first geo-electroacoustic minimalist band piece largely devoid of melody and of rhythm. Conceptual and atmospheric the music features compelling textures from instruments voices and rocks that weave a wind band into a piece of sonic fabric stretched across linear time. As the notes slowlycrawl melt and scrape over a sonic landscape in random irregular ways were connected to the ancient glaciers which carved the world we know and which we strive to protect. Like PAPER CUT ROCK MUSIC can be equally appreciated by mature bandsand their audiences as well. To perform ROCK MUSIC youll need an audio system capable of playing the prerecorded audio tracks from a laptop computer via a small digital audio interface connected to an audio mixer. Download information is providedin the printed piece. Dur: 4:15
