Journey to
Aldebaran is a bright new
overture of intergalactic
proportions. Aldebaran is
the brightest star in the
constellation Taurus and
one of the brightest
starts in the night sky.
The composition is
reminiscent of science
fiction movie themes but
scored for the
contemporary concert
band. The wide variety of
styles, from pensive
melodic passages to
driving dynamic bursts of
energy, ensures that this
bright new work will be a
meaningful contribution
to the concert band
literature. (4:25).

Every
one remembers the first
time that they saw a
snake. Though fascinating
to some and terrifying to
others, few animals are
as universally
mesmerizing. Composer
Tyler Arcari has crafted
a very fun piece making
use of auxiliary
percussion instruments to
emulate a snake's hiss or
ominous rattle. With very
strong and interesting
melodic material, and
scored to make a
developing band sound
great, this piece is sure
to be a favorite among
students. Everyone
remembers the first time
that they saw a snake.
The majority of people
have a base fear of them,
while others have a
“heebie-jeebiesâ
experience. We all
know how the great
explorer Dr. Indiana
Jones felt about snakes,
especially when he
famously fell into a
snake pit during Raiders
of the Lost Ark. However
you feel about snakes, a
pit of them certainly
sounds like an
adventure.About the
work:Snake Pit uses a lot
of auxiliary percussion
instruments. Some of
these sounds are intended
to subtly mimic the
sounds that snakes make.
The maraca in m. 4, of
course, is a
rattler’s call!
The Chinese cymbal is
intended to sound like
the “hiss†of
a not-so-friendly
serpent. The eighth-note
pattern at m. 9 is used
throughout as a
“creepyâ€
effect using dynamic
contrast so take care to
emphasize this when
present.I enjoy the gong
as a “colorâ€
instrument in the band. I
try to balance it with
the low brass. Take care
that at m. 42 the gong is
not “front-and
center†but more of
a support for the nice
accented chords in the
low brass. Also, the
trumpets can become
spaced too much here. The
accents are more for
emphasis and less
space.

In these

times, what better way to
show creativity and
compliance than this
hilarious setting of the
traditional Jingle Bells?
The opening announcement
reminds the audience that
our budgets have been cut
and the band has been
forced to reduce the
amount of new instrument
purchases. As a result,
the band went to the toy
shop and bought several
new instruments including
the kazoo, toy drum, toy
xylophone, and trash can
lid cymbals among others.
Following the tuning of
the toys, the swing
setting kicks off and
features the toys in
melody, improvisation and
response quotes
throughout. Now
that’s what I call
using our resources!.

ard is a lyrical ballad
in ABA form. The
composition presents few
rhythmic challenges,
allowing the ensemble to
concentrate on beauty of
sound, balance, dynamic
nuance, phrasing, and

The woodwind voices
present the melody at the
opening accompanied by a
flute countermelody. Care

balance the two parts.
The four-measure phrases
call for tapered dynamics
and freedom of the metric

The term,
stryker refers to an
individual who assisted a
blacksmith with his
craft, wielding a hammer
and shaping iron to their
will. As the title
suggests, Stryker is a
dark and harsh piece full
of percussive sounds
depicting a Stryker as
they assist a blacksmith.
The break drum gives us a
hammered-iron effect
while the china cymbal
mimics the steam of
tempering steel. Students

piece, great for opening

Zion is the
third and final
installment of a series
of works for Wind
Ensemble inspired by
national parks in the
western United States,
collectively called Three
Places in the West. As in
the other two works (The
Yellowstone Fires and
Arches), it is my
intention to convey more
an impression of the
feelings I've had in Zion
National Park in Utah
than an attempt at
pictorial description.
Zion is a place with
unrivalled natural
grandeur, being a sort of
huge box canyon in which
the traveler is
constantly overwhelmed by
towering rock walls on
every side of him -- but
it is also a place with a
human history, having
been inhabited by several
tribes of native
Americans before the
arrival of the Mormon
settlers in the mid-19th
century. By the time the
Mormons reached Utah,
they had been driven all
the way from New York
State through Ohio and,
with tragic losses,
through Missouri. They
saw Utah in general as a
place nobody wanted, but
they were nonetheless
determined to keep it to
themselves. Although Zion
Canyon was never a Mormon
Stronghold, the people
who reached it and
claimed it (and gave it
its present name) had
been through extreme
trials. It is the
religious fervor of these
persecuted people that I
was able to draw upon in
creating Zion as a piece
of music. There are two
quoted hymns in the work:
Zion's Walls (which Aaron
Copland adapted to his
own purposes in both is
Old American Songs and
the opera The Tender
Land) and Zion's
Security, which I found
in the same volume in
which Copland found
Zion's Walls -- that
inexhaustible storehouse
of 19th-century hymnody
called The Sacred Harp.
My work opens with a
three-verse setting of
Zion's Security, a stern
tune in F-sharp minor
which is full of resolve.
(The words of this hymn
are resolute and strong,
rallying the faithful to
be firm, and describing
the city of our God they
hope to establish). This
melody alternates with a
fanfare tune, whose
origins will be revealed
in later music, until the
second half of the piece
begins: a driving
rhythmic ostinato based
on a 3/4-4/4 alternating
meter scheme. This pauses
at its height to restate
Zion's Security one more
time, in a rather obscure
setting surrounded by
freely shifting patterns
in the flutes, clarinets,
and percussion -- until
the sun warms the ground
sufficiently for the
second hymn to appear.
Zion's Walls is set in
7/8, unlike Copland's
9/8-6/8 meters (the
original is quite
strange, and doesn't
really fit any constant
meter), and is introduced
by a warm horn solo. The
two hymns vie for
attention from here to
the end of the piece,
with the glowingly
optimistic Zion's Walls
finally achieving
prominence. The work ends
with a sense of triumph
and unbreakable spirit.
Zion was commissioned in
1994 by the wind
ensembles of the
University of Texas at
Arlington, the University
of Texas at Austin, and
the University of
Oklahoma. It is dedicated
to the memory of Aaron
Copland.

Nne na Tatu
(Swahili for Four on
Three) is inspired by the
music of sub-Saharan
Africa and other world
music traditions. Like
many of those traditions,
Nne na Tatu is driven by
relentless percussion and
rhythmic-focused
development. A bold,
festive theme, introduced
in the brass, recurs
throughout and grounds
the piece amidst a series
of unpredictable detours
- a Scottish-inspired
dance in the winds, a
marimba melody
reminiscent of the music
of the Andes - before
returning in a final
triumphant fanfare. Dur:
5:15 (Recorded live by
the Indiana University of
Pennsylvania Symphony
Band, Jason Worzbyt,
conductor).
Composed by Huckeby.

This concert
work combines a bold and
noble opening with a
fresh, vibrant
multi-metered allegro
section which presents a
unique challenge to
everyone in the ensemble.
Commissioned to
commemorate the 50th
Anniversary of the
International Music Camp
which is held annually at
the Peace Gardens on the
border of North Dakota
and Canada, this work
establishes a celebratory
tone from the very
beginning. A fugue-like
interlude midway through
the Allegro section
brings a unique flavor to
this composition. Your
students, audiences will
love this new composition
which is an excellent
choice for concert or
festival performances.
Highly recommended!
