An impressive and demanding composition for mature bands by a talented Australian composer and military band conductor. Requires good players in all sections, but it is well worth the effort. The inspiring slow section includes solos for oboe, clarinet, horn, trumpet & euphonium as well as some challenging parts for the mallet percussion players. Every section of the band has plenty to keep them challenged and involved. Will be a superlative opener for any concert!

Duration 6 minutes, 44 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-3418-75. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-3418-75).

An exciting and impressive composition that portrays an epic struggle in the distant past between the forces of good and evil. A wizard, a beautiful exotic maiden, a battle, and our hero are woven in the fabric of this musical tale. Sprightly melodies, lively rhythms and tasty writing for a whole battalion of percussionists produce an opening section which is full of energy and vitality. The flowing adagio section features a nice oboe solo (cued in clarinet) and a horn section soli (cued in saxes) that really make this piece special. A superior choice for any concert or contest performance.

Not hard, but very impressive, this David Shaffer original is perfect concert or contest material for mid-level bands. It starts with a stately fanfare introduction which leads directly into the furious section. This section features a fast tempo where several playable yet independent melody lines are intertwined to create a very busy yet pleasing musical landscape. An adagio section follows before a reprise of the furious section leads to a big finish. A rewarding work that is a welcome addition to any performance!

Reflective, joyous and uplifting are but a few of the words that best describe this highly dramatic work by noted composer James Swearingen. Intended as a tribute, this composition musically celebrates three wonderful high school students whose lives were all tragically taken. Great compositional writing, memorable themes and an emotional middle section based on an old English hymn, all combine to create an outstanding piece that is well-suited for contest and festival use. Your students will greatly benefit from the various solo opportunities and the powerful ending will leave your audience with a tremendous feeling of hope and resolve. Incredibly stunning!

Composed by G. Sebesky. Concert Band. Heritage of the March Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR335). Extra full score. Composed 2005. Duration 4 minutes, 8 seconds.

As the title implies, there is a dichotomy of spirit within the contrasting sections. But, there is also a mutual thematic development which makes this composition unique. After beginning with a lyrical introduction in which the trumpet invokes an expressive solo passage, the work then progresses with an energetic rhythmic pattern which offers and leads to a joyful spirit of celebration. A recapitulation of the original theme forms a variation to the end. This distinctive composition was selected by the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation to receive the NJSCA Fellowship award. Very nice!

This rip-snortin' circus march will thrill audiences and performers alike! Composed by classic circus band leader Fred Jewell, this march was dedicated to P. G. Lowery, an African-American cornet virtuoso who was a pioneering headliner in circus bands and is the Jackie Robinson of the American band movement. Walloping low brass, dizzying woodwinds, and screaming trumpets bring the big top to like in this exciting and challenging march. Wow!

An impressive contemporary concert work full of mixed meters, exciting rhythms and haunting motives, Moonscape is a challenging tour de force for mature bands. Predominantly in 7/8, every section of the band is fully involved while the percussion section provides the glue which holds the whole piece together in fine fashion.

An exceptional band piece that utilizes music John wrote especially for the PBS production of Within These Walls, which showcases the history of our Presidential residence during its 200th year. Originally scored and recorded by the U.S. Marine Band with strings, John later arranged the music for band only and it will be performed by the Marine Band on tour. This published arrangement is slightly simplified and shortened from that version. Sections of the piece represent various important time periods in the history of The White House. The very nature of this time capsule approach makes this number a wonderful tool for teaching musical style concepts. Challenging!
