On a Sunday afternoon in May of 2011 tornados devastated the city of Joplin, Missouri. In Perfect Silence, I Often Gaze at the New Stars is intended as a musical tribute to those who lost their lives that day and to those heroes who gave everything they could to help others. The music is a beautiful blending of sounds and moods, and carries with it a full range of emotions from reflective quiet moments to the massive outpouring from the entire ensemble. An evocative and moving work for band that will resonate with both performers and listeners. Dur: 3:50.

A Certain Slant of Light is inspired by the introspective mood created by the rays of light on a dark cloudy day.  A colorful, murmuring introduction is followed by a rich main theme in a minor key. It is a well-scored and fresh-sounding piece that will help young bands enhance their musicality.
Rays of light against the dark of a cloudy day, or these same rays of light as they penetrate a dark room in late afternoon can create a mood of introspection and make us pause to reflect on the nature of life, loss and hope. A Certain Slant of Light is inspired by the title, but does not depict the actual poem There is a Certain Slant of Light by Emily Dickinson.A Certain Slant of Light opens with a colorful murmuring introduction followed immediately by a statement of the main theme of the piece. The opening briefly returns, followed by a setting of the melody in flute with woodwind accompaniment. The opening then returns and grows to a climax built on variations of the main theme. The piece fades to silence with a soft echo of the opening murmuring material.I enjoyed writing this piece and hope your students will enjoy playing these contrasting styles and that you will find the piece beneficial in teaching important musical concepts.Peter Terry, 2018.

Away to the Southern land of ice and snow! This one is even easier to put together for the concert than it looks. The repeated nature of each section’s easy part of the theme means your Beginning Band can put this together with very few rehearsals. Nice dynamic contrasts, easy articulations, and the contrast between staccato and full-value notes make sure that your band can sound mature even though they have been playing but a short time.Quality music for the Beginning Band!

Auf in den Süden! Aber nicht etwa in warme Gefilde, sondern in den äußersten Süden, in die Antarktis, zur heiteren Pinguin-Promenade führt dieses Stück! Es hält, was der amüsante Titel verspricht: Mit leicht zu spielenden Wiederholungen des Themas in allen Registern, einfachen Artikulationen und effektvollen, aber unkomplizierten dynamischen Kontrasten ist es leicht einzustudieren und klingt dabei richtig gut. Eine prima Kombination aus leichtem Spielspaß und Hörvergnügen!

Faisons un détour par l’Antarctique pour aller nous promener au pied des glaciers dans le grand silence blanc, royaume incontesté des manchots. Les voil qui marchent sur la banquise. La promenade musicale est pleine d’allant. La mélodie chemine de pupitre en pupitre, les articulations et les effets de nuances restent simples. Vos jeunes musiciens prendront du plaisir jouer cette drôlerie musicale.
