This hot holiday single from Cher's Christmas album is a groovin' techno-pop earworm in her signature style. The driving, four-on-the-floor dance beat is guaranteed to bring the house down. Favorite part: when It's cold outside, but it's warm in here becomes It's tough outside, but it's love in here!

The blues emanated from the early Negro work songs uttering their concerns for equality, freedom and for a better life. The plaintive cry in the dark of a wandering coyote reminds the jazz musician of the plaintive expression of those blues. Coyote Blues has a driving feel and emphasizes off-beat accents to teach young bands to really swing.

Written in an exciting programmatic style, this piece is based on folklore surrounding the derailment and crash of a turn-of-the-century passenger train in North Carolina. The descriptive and creative writing of Ed Huckeby make this story come alive through the sounds of the train and driving rhythms which imitate the locomotive. With creative changing meter, syncopation and dramatic rhythmic drive, contrasted with the flowing melodic lines of the introduction and interlude, this piece is a real winner for concert or contest performance.

An epic programmatic piece, Forged In Fire is a work of vibrant energy, vivid color and immense power. It draws inspiration from the immense power and uses of fire, and its effect on early civilization and industrialization. A calm and sensitive introductions leads to a new theme at a quickening tempo. This theme, stated simply at first, is then embellished by a driving rhythm multi-meter effect, and further developed with layered contemporary harmonies, changing textures and variations on the theme. After a breathtaking climax, the original theme is restated, more powerfully this time. It then subsides, before building to a shimmering, red hot ending that will leave your audience breathless. Certain to become a mainstay for concert and festival use. Not to be missed!
