This rebooted triptych of short operas is family friendly and full of fun, while paying tribute to the African tradition of storytelling for all ages. Sister Sparrow, Sister Robin and Madame Partridge retell the antics of Bre'r Rabbit and his nemesis Bre'r Fox in Briar Patch, The Pot of Sense, and Madame Partridge and her Eggs. Okoye's music blends African American musical styles of jazz, blues, and gospel with contemporary concert music sounds. Combined with Moore's libretto, the result brings to mind a meeting Langston Hughes and Gilbert and Sullivan on steroids, en route to the Black church. A concert version of Briar Patch will be available for full orchestra with five soloists. Libretto by Carman Moore. The music blends African American musical styles of jazz, blues, and gospel with contemporary concert music sounds. Intended for all audiences. NOTE: Each story from the Tales from the Briar Patch is derived from African folk tales. The character Bre'r Rabbit is actually the trickster, Anansi the Spider, of ancient Ghanaian folklore. While many people associate him and his friends with Joel Chandler Harris' Uncle Remus stories, the stories predate Harris and hist stories. The creators updated the language, using all animals to portray the story, with the trio of spirited birds narrating. Producers find that the works rate well with all audiences and are especially useful for community discussions and engagement.

Skeemantics is an exciting work that will be an excellent challenge for your advancing band and percussion section! Its celebratory nature and syncopated rhythms provide a pleasing contrast to the beautiful melodies throughout - especially in the serene, jazz-inspired middle section that features a vibraphone soloist. The composer thoughtfully presents all sections of the band with enjoyable music to perform, and you will elevate your next concert experience by programming Skeemantics! Our highest recommendation!

Surfin' Dolphin was inspired by the amazing and humorous antics of dolphins and their human fans at an amusement park. This clever arrangement captures not only the excitement and fun that only dolphins can generate, but also the joy and laughter of all who are lucky enough to watch them.
