This exciting work was conceived as a musical portrait from the viewpoint of a lone ancient warrior, determined and focused on achieving victory in battle. Providing a foundation throughout is a relentless rhythmic pulse and driving ostinato. The meter of 7/8 provides a dramatic sense of urgency as various textures and moods are developed similar to the ebb and flow of battle. The piece concludes with a victorious major chord with the rhythmic ostinato driving to the very end.

Rio Bravo draws on artifacts of iconic western film music to portray the rugged landscape surrounding one of the longest, most fabled rivers in North America. The challenging, arid region along the brave river that divides Mexico from the southwestern United States---depicted in many a song and story---is characterized by mountains, canyons, and desert plains. The river, known north of the border as the Rio Grande, has called to itself settlers, cattle drivers, gunslingers, and outlaws. Rio Bravo transports listeners to a time and place where legends of the Old West were made! (3:00).

UPC: 680160682768. Das Stundenbuch.
This cycle of orchestral songs sets four poems from an early collection by Rilke entitled Das Stundenbuch, or in English, Book of Hours. Although the title refers to a medieval book of prayers for the various times of day and seasons of the liturgical year, Rilke's texts occupy a position some distance from conventional piety. There is a melancholy to the spirituality expressed here, which speaks of an experience of God that is fragmentary, imperfect, and unattainable. The solitude evoked in the second song (as layers of busy activity are gradually peeled away) offers some solace, but the third song is very dark and fierce, filled with a desperate, even manic desire for God. The last song returns to the mood of the first, but now in a global rather than individual context. This song, like the set as a whole, speaks of our world's brokenness, yet strives to stammer fragments of God's name.

Zenobia the Warrior Queen is an excellent concert piece for young bands. The title refers to an actual historical figure who battled against the Romans in the third century. The music should convey an atmosphere of antiquity but should also be bold and aggressive. A serious work for developing bands.

Glorioso was commissioned by, and is dedicated to, the ‘Siena Wind Orchestra’. The work opens after a short aleatoric intro, with an energetic and brassy ‘one tone fanfare’. The note F acts as an omnipresent note, and is also used as a bridge into the second, rather static movement. A noble sounding theme leads to an impressive climax, shortly followed by the spectacular and virtuoso finale, which is built on the musical elements that have been heard before. Stylistically, this sparkling finale is clearly influenced by Dmitri Shostakovich, hence the use of the famous signature used by the Russian Master: C D E flat B (or C flat). A glorious finish to a special workthat highlights various facets of the modern concert band. Glorioso werd geschreven in opdracht van en is opgedragen aan het Japanse Siena Wind Orchestra. Het werk opent na een korte aleatorische intro met een energieke ‘one tone fanfare’, waarin voornamelijk het koper aan zet is. De noot F, als een pedaaltoon alomtegenwoordig, blijft nog even klinken in het aansluitende langzame deel. Na een nobel thema volgt de spectaculaire en virtuoze finale, die voortbouwt op de muzikale componenten die al eerder te horen waren. Stilistisch is in deze wervelende finale onmiskenbaar de invloed van Dmitri Sjostakovitsj aanwezig, het hoofdmotief is tot C D Eb B (of Cb) getransformeerd: het anagram dat de Russische meester vaak als muzikalehandtekening heeft gebruikt. Een glorieus slot aan een bijzonder werk dat diverse facetten van het moderne harmonieorkest aan bod laat komen. Glorioso wurde vom Siena Wind Orchestra in Auftrag gegeben und ist diesem gewidmet. Das Werk beginnt nach einer kurzen, aleatorischen Einleitung mit einer schwungvollen Blechbläser-Fanfare auf nur einem Ton. Dabei ist der Ton F allgegenwärtig und leitet in den langsamen, eher statischen Satz über. Nachdem das nobel klingende Thema zu einem beeindruckenden Höhepunkt geführt hat, setzt sich das fantastische und virtuose Finale aus den zuvor erklungenen Elementen zusammen. Stilistisch ist dieses schwungvolle Finale deutlich von Dmitri Schostakowitsch beeinflusst, daher wird die berühmte musikalische Unterschrift des russischen Meisters verwendet, die dieser oftbenutzte: C D Es H (oder Ces). Ein eindrucksvolles Ende eines besonderen Werkes, das verschiedene Facetten des modernen Blasorchesters hervorhebt. Glorioso est une commande du, et dédicacée au ‘Siena Wind Orchestra’. L’œuvre commence après une courte introduction aléatoire qui comprend une fanfare énergique et cuivrée « sur une note », puisque la note fa est omniprésente et est utilisée comme pont dans le deuxième mouvement plutôt statique. Un thème noble mène vers une apogée impressionnante et le final spectaculaire et virtuose se compose d’éléments musicaux entendus plus tôt. Le style de ce final bouillonnant est évidemment influencé par Dmitri Chostakovitch, ce qui explique l’usage de sa célèbre signature fréquemment utilisée : do ré mi bémol si (ou do bémol). Une fin glorieuse d’uneœuvre spéciale qui met en scène les nombreuses facettes d’un orchestre d’harmonie moderne. Glorioso è stato commissionatodalla Siena Wind Orchestra, ed è a loro dedicato. Il lavoro si apre dopo una breve introduzione aleatoria, con una fanfara energica e dai suoni simili agli ottoni. La nota Fa agisce come una nota onnipresente, ed è anche usata come un ponte nel secondo movimento piuttosto statico. Un tema sonoro nobile porta ad un climax impressionante, seguito a breve distanza dal finale spettacolare e virtuoso, che è costruito sugli elementi musicali che sono stati ascoltati precedentemente. Stilisticamente, questo frizzante finale è chiaramente influenzato da Dmitri Shostakovich, da qui l'uso della famosa firma usata dal Maestro russo: Do Re Mib Si (oDob). Un finale glorioso per un'opera speciale che mette in risalto varie sfaccettature della banda moderna.
