Vulcan's Anvil is intended for band students who have completed at least one year of instruction. In order to capture properly the character of the music, students should not confuse a Star Trek character with the title character of this piece. Explain to them that Vulcan is the ancient mythological god of fire who is often portrayed holding a hammer over an anvil at a blacksmith's hearth. Of primary importance to an effective performance is the acquisition of an instrument which produces a convincing anvil sound. If possible, consult with an orchestral percussionist who, more than likely, has used the anvil in Verdi's Anvil Chorus or in Wagner's Ring Cycle. Web searches will reveal in-depth information about anvils in music and the lore of the character Vulcan. Regarding wind instruments, articulation is always marcato. There are no tender or contrasting passages in this piece. Effective execution of crescendos will add drama to the music. As always, balance between winds and percussion is crucial. Thank you for choosing this composition. Joseph Compello.

Snowy hilltops, timeless family traditions, and the warmth of a hearth---the atmosphere of a Smoky Mountain Christmas is captured in this arrangement of three traditional Appalachian carols arranged by Andrew Dabcyznski. The simple modal melodies of Star of the East and Babe of Bethlehem are passed throughout the orchestra, before concluding with the stirring spiritual Rise Up Shepherd and Follow. The keys, meters, and bowings are all playable by second-year string students, but intermediate and advanced students also will find this to be a satisfying holiday concert piece. (3:30).
