Step right up, ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, step right up! See the exotic, the strange, and the magical at the Cirque de L’étrange, or “Circus of the Strange.†This piece evokes a bygone era when circuses and carnivals provided people from all walks of life a chance to see human and animal oddities. Cirque de L'étrange is an original concert march written in standard march form, but its sound is anything but standard. This piece is playable by younger groups and is a great way to expose students to the march form and style without sounding like your typical march.Step right up ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, step right up! See the exotic, the strange, and the magical at the Cirque de L’étrange. Welcome to the Cirque de L’étrange, known in English as the “Circus of the Strange.†This piece evokes a time of a bygone era, a time when circuses and carnivals provided people from all walks of life a chance to see human and animal oddities that were sources of both delight and horror. While many of these sideshow attractions were deemed fraudulent, it did not deter the crowds from flocking to be shocked and awed. I have always held a special place in my heart for the showmanship of carnivals, because my grandfather dearly loved them. For much of his life, he worked at fairs and carnivals selling cotton candy and candy apples. A large portion of my days when growing up were spent running around fairgrounds and helping my grandfather with his stand. He imparted in me a love for the cunning, magic, and sheer joy that only carnivals and circuses can bring. In Cirque de L’étrange, I sought to capture the the mirthful, yet uncanny mood of the carnivals that I grew up exploring, thus transporting you to a different time.Cirque de L'étrange is an original concert march written in standard march form, but its sound is anything but standard. This piece is playable by younger groups, as it is a great way to expose students to the march form and style while not sounding like your typical march.Opening in D minor, the piece combines the playful feel of a march and a macabre tango. The second time through the First Strain (mm. 5-23), the upper woodwinds and bells add a second counter melody based in D harmonic minor, which heightens the peculiar nature of the piece. The Second Strain (mm. 24-43) by contrast, is a little more upbeat, thus evoking the magical ebullience of a circus, which is further highlighted by the xylophone part. The Second Strain ends in the key of F major and sets up the transition to the Trio in the key of G minor. The Trio (m. 44) begins with the G harmonic minor melody in the clarinets and a counter melody in the bassoon and tenor saxophone. The rest of the woodwinds and bells join in at m. 60 while the percussion adds a Gypsy-like feel with tambourine and triangle. At m. 76 the full band joins in the macabre parade with the trombones and baritones harmonizing the counter melody. The conclusion of the march has the upper woodwinds, adding a second counter melody complete with trills to bring the march to an exciting and dramatic finish.As the World’s Greatest Showman, P.T. Barnum, a man my grandfather greatly admired, once said “The noblest art is that of making others happy.†It is my hope that through this piece you will experience the thrill, delight, and fright that only carnivals can bring as you visit the Circus of the Strange!

Dan Welcher's Spumante for wind ensemble was commissioned by the Boston Pops and its conductor, Keith Lockhart, and premiered during the celebratory opening of their 1998 season. This later transcription for band by Paul Bissell in 1999 was premiered by the Dallas Wind Symphony in January of 2000, conducted by Dr. Kevin L. Sedatole. Spumante, named for an Italian sparkling wine, recalls the neoclassical style of the '40s exemplified by composers such as William Schuman and Vincent Persichetti. It also employs inversion, a technique in which the first theme is simply turned inside-out and presented as a second theme. For advanced players. Duration: 7'.

A Bluegrass Overture was commissioned by Gabriel Wooley and funded by a grant from Leslie and Cathy Anderson for the Central Kentucky Concert Band to celebrate their 40th anniversary in 2016. This energetic overture opens with an introduction loosely based on 'bluegrass' chords before a slower, legato chorale appears in the clarinets and flutes. This is short-lived and soon a new mood is introduced, based on a repeated-note accompaniment. This leads to the main theme, heavily syncopated with bluesy inflections. A central section features a cantabile melody, which changes key frequently, before the main theme reappears, leading to a triumphal presentation of the earlierchorale melody. A Bluegrass Overture is geschreven voor de Central Kentucky Concert Band ter gelegenheid van hun veertigjarig bestaan in 2016. De opdracht komt van Gabriel Wooley en is gefinancierd door een gift van Leslie en Cathy Anderson. Deze energieke ouverture opent met bluegrass-akkoorden, waarna in de klarinetten en fluiten een langzamer, legato koraal naar voren komt. Het wordt al snel gevolgd door een nieuw sfeerbeeld, dat is gebaseerd op een begeleiding van herhaalde noten. Hier komt het hoofdthema uit voort, dat zwaar gesyncopeerd is en bluesachtige invloeden laat horen. In het middengedeelte klinkt een zangerige melodie met frequente modulaties, waarna hethoofdthema weer opduikt en ons meevoert naar een glorierijke presentatie van de eerder gespeelde koraalmelodie. A Bluegrass Overture wurde von Gabriel Wooley anlasslich des 40-jahrigen Jubilaums der Central Kentucky Concert Band im Jahre 2016 in Auftrag gegeben und von Leslie und Cathy Anderson finanziell unterstutzt. Diese energiegeladene Ouverture beginnt mit einer Einleitung mit lockeren Bluegrass-Akkorden, bevor ein langsamer Choral im Legato in den Klarinetten und Floten erklingt. Das ist jedoch nur von kurzer Dauer, denn schon bald wird durch eine Begleitung mit repetierten Noten eine neue Stimmung erzeugt. Dies fuhrt schliesslich zum Hauptthema mit deutlichen Synkopen und Blues-Modulationen. Die zentrale Passage zeichnet sich durch eine kantable Melodie aus, die haufigdie Tonart wechselt, bevor das Hauptthema wiederkehrt und zu einer triumphalen Prasentation der vorherigen Choralmelodie hinleitet. A Bluegrass Overture fut commande par Gabriel Wooley et finance par une bourse de Leslie et Cathy Anderson pour la celebration du 40e anniversaire du Central Kentucky Concert Band en 2016. Cette ouverture energique debute par une introduction basee vaguement sur les accords de bluegrass, puis un court choral plus lent et plus legato apparait chez les clarinettes et flutes. Bientot un changement d'atmosphere se produit, base sur un accompagnement de motifs de notes repetees. Ceci nous mene au theme principal, tres syncope, aux inflexions de blues. La section du milieu comprend une melodie lyrique qui change de tonalite frequemment, avant que le retour du theme principal nousmene a une presentation triomphale de la melodie de choral entendue plus tot. Questa ouverture energica si apre con una introduzione dal movimento ampio caratterizzata da accordi in stile bluegrass prima di un corale lento e legato affi dato ai clarinetti e ai flauti, di breve durata, e presto sostituito da una nuova atmosfera, scandita da un accompagnamento con note ribattute. Questo conduce a un tema principale, molto sincopato, con inflessioni blues. Una sezione centrale dalla melodia cantabile che cambia spesso tonalita anticipa la ricomparsa del tema principale, che conduce a sua volta a una trionfale riproposizione della melodia corale.

Feature four trumpets in this swing-era style work for concert band. Reflect on the 40s, 50s and 60s musically as the trumpets set the stage for grand memories of the big-band sound. The key to the accompaniment is attention to articulation. Highly programmatic.

Why another arrangement of The Star-Spangled Banner? While watching a TV sports show, Dr. Bullock was dismayed after hearing a particularly poor performance flawed with wrong lyrics and the incorporation of personal musical phrases intertwined with the traditional melody. So, don't just play your marching band version in a concert setting, but rather program this tasteful reverent rendition which is certain to be moving in your concert environment.
