Adven
ture Express is about
a train heading out to
the old west, seeking new
adventures and new
opportunities. The piece
focuses on the beautiful
country sides,
breathtaking vistas and
the hard work of building
a new land. It is a
contest style piece by
budding composer John
Pasternak. It is tuneful
and well-scored. Perfect
for your next
contest/festival
performance. Adventure
Express is about a train
heading out to the old
west, seeking new
adventures and new
opportunities. The piece
focuses on the beautiful
countrysides,
breathtaking vistas and
the hard work of building
a new land.The beginning
of the piece should have
a very marcato feel.
Measure 18 should have a
lighter feel than the
beginning, with the snare
drum playing the part of
the rail cars going over
the tracks. Be sure to
pay attention to the
accents in the trumpet,
xylophone and snare drum
lining up with the
accents played by the
rest of the
ensemble. At m. 55,
the xylophone should ring
out and should be played
with intention. At m. 71,
the piece returns to a
marcato style, and
remains until the end of
the piece. There are a
few sudden dynamic
changes that are crucial
for effect, so pay close
attention to those
changes.

Russian
Coronation is a dramatic
piece for band that
conjures images of a
coronation celebration in
ancient Russia. It has
the flavor of music by
famous composers like
Tchaikovsky,
Rimsky-Korsakov and
Shostakovich, but is
written at a level that
young bands can approach.
It is a refreshing style
for young bands to try
their hands at, and will
yield great teaching
opportunities in the
exploration of the rich
Russian musical
tradition.

In Atlas
Rising, composer Carl
Strommen derives
inspiration from the
statue of Titan Atlas
lifting the universe on
his shoulders. Unlike
Sisyphus (of perpetual
rolling stone fame) the
monumental effort of
Atlas was successful.
This piece takes this
idea and models it into
an exceptional piece for
contest/festival
performance. Atlas
Rising was commissioned
by WorldStrides OnStage
and is dedicated to the
thousands of directors
who have traveled to a
WorldStrides event over
the past thirty-five
years . WorldStrides
OnStage offers
performance experiences
that fuel the passion of
performing artists of all
ages with breathtaking
productions, prestigious
events and premier venues
. They provide
performance opportunities
all over the world where
debuts are made, mentors
are met, co-stars become
lifelong friends and
inspirations build bright
futures .Directly across
the street from St .
Patricks Cathedral on 5th
avenue and in front of
Rockefeller Center in
NYC, is the Lee Lawrie
sculpture of Atlas
holding up the heavens .
Titles are always a
problem - so after
listening to a few
playbacks, this very
imposing statue of the
Titan Atlas lifting the
Universe on his shoulders
came to mind - starting
slowly with the low
brass,
“Risingâ€
moves steadily with
determination and
intensity to a powerful
and
“muscularâ€
conclusion . Unlike
Sisyphus (of perpetual
rolling stone fame) the
monumental effort of
Atlas was successful . As
with all performing
pieces, attention to
dynamics and articulation
are critical - In
“Atlas
Rising†- the
conductor has many
opportunities to
interpretive discretion,
particularly in the
opening slower sections
and after measure 109 on
to the conclusion .

Gene Milford has woven
together three popular
folks songs from the
American West into a
delightful rhapsody. It
begins with a
fanfare-like presentation
of The Colorado Trail
folk song followed by a
lush and lyrical setting
of Goodbye Old Paint.
This is followed by a
rousing finish based on
The Old Chisolm Trail.
This perfect piece for

As
the title implies, this
piece is written in a
contemplative manner for
beginning students.Â
It is a good piece to
demonstrate basic
compositional techniques
that the students will be
able identify easily in
the piece. It begins with
a lush opening section
with an elegant melody to
work on musicianship.
This is contrasted by the
up tempo section of the
piece based on the same
basic musical material,
but in a varied style and
frolicking feel. A very
satisfying piece for
beginning wind
players. Contemplation
: the action to look
thoughtfully at something
for a long time.When
composing music that will
be used with younger
students, I want to
stimulate thoughtfulness
in them. In this
particular piece I want
the students to be able
to stretch their
musicianship beyond their
experience on their
instruments to play in a
contemplative
manner. To me, this is
the essence of musical
playing in an emotional
and thoughtful way. It is
something that cannot be
stressed enough, even in
students that have just
begun to play. As soon
as possible, they should
be asked to put
themselves into the music
and make it more than the
notes and rhythms on the
page.This piece is my
attempt to provide very
young students, who are
just beginning their
musical journey, with
something they can reach
technically, but have to
stretch for
musically. The amount
of notes and rhythms
is limited, but students
should strive for beauty
of tone, good phrasing
and emotional
involvement.After a short
introduction, the
heartfelt main theme
begins at a lyrical and
slow tempo. This is
developed with the
addition of a secondary
theme, featuring the
lower voices, before the
piece leads to an Allegro
section that is based on
the same musical material
with a difference in
tempo and a variation in
rhythm patterns. The
piece can serve to show
students that the same
basic music can have an
entirely different
emotional connection with
differences in tempo,
rhythm and style, with
the first section of the
piece being sentimental
and the faster section
being more joyous in
nature. As with all
of my pieces for younger
students, it is
completely acceptable to
me for you to adjust the
tempo to fit the
educational needs of your
students.It has been my
pleasure to have the
opportunity to write this
piece. I hope you and
your students enjoy it
and find it useful for
your
program.—Larry

Personal
Note My high school band
director, Clarence F.
Wroblewski, died on
November 24, 2018. In the
1950s, he was a pioneer
in the field of public
school instrumental music
in the Baltimore City. He
was my mentor and my dear
friend. It was his
guidance and
encouragement that set my
young life's course on
the path of music.
Performance Notes The
idea for this easy march
is a parade with horses,
hence the title Cadets'
Cavalcade. It may be
taught and performed in
common time, but the feel
is in 2 at the indicated
tempo. Directors who wish
to perform it a little
faster or slower than 80
should feel free to do
so. All cues are for
endurance considerations.
Bands that are capable of
playing from beginning to
end without rests may
ignore the cues. When
cymbals are just
following the bass drum
line, be certain that the
player observes the
proper
balance. Personal

Ameri
ca is intended for any

professional concert band
looking to honor the
United States of America
and/or members of the

therefore ideal for
performance on or around
any patriotic holiday. It
is not a typical setting
of the tune, in that many
liberties are taken to
showcase each instrument
of the ensemble, with the
melodic focus constantly
shifting. The conductor
and performers should
seek out these moments,
and bring them to life
whenever possible. The
introduction, mm. 1-12,
should be approached in
the style of a fanfare,
with an emphasis on
syncopation and
exaggerated nuance in
regards to articulation
style. Here, hidden
beneath woodwind
flourishes and triumphant
bugle calls, the low
voices play quotes of
familiar American tunes
such as The Star-Spangled
Banner (m. 1, beat 3) and
Simple Gifts (m. 3, beat
4). In mm. 15-22 the
melody is carefully
hidden among counter
lines. This should be
carefully balanced to
highlight the melody,
while still shaping the
counter melodies
appropriately. A brief
return to the fanfare
style occurs in mm. 33-35
before melding back into
the chorale style. In
regards to dynamics,
performers should be
reminded that within any
single dynamic exists a
range of expressive
shades. No two notes
should be played at the
same volume, ensuring
direction in even the
simplest of phrases.

be approached
thoughtfully, with the

Amber
moons are beautiful and
rare full moons, created
when the sun is high in
the sky and directly
opposite the moon. Amber
Moon begins with an
opening fanfare, then
moves into the first
theme based on this
fanfare. A second
statement of the theme is
repeated softly, followed
by a lyrical secondary
theme in the woodwinds.
Variations follow this
statement, and
cyclically, like the
comings and goings of the
Moon and Sun, the piece
concludes with a return
to the initial
theme. Amber moons are
very beautiful and rare
full moons, created when
the sun is high in the
sky and directly opposite
the moon. They appear
unusually large and low
on the horizon with a
deep, rich honey color
and are believed to be
signs of blessing and
good luck. Â Amber Moon
begins with an opening
fanfare, then moves into
a first theme based on
this fanfare. A second
statement of the theme is
repeated softly, followed
by lyrical second theme
in the woodwinds.

theme one concludes the
piece.I enjoyed writing
this piece and hope your

Mount
Vernon Square derives its
title from the location
of the Peabody
Conservatory of Music in
Baltimore, Maryland. It
was here that the
composer Joseph Compello
took his first classes in
Music Theory from
Professor Haven Hensler,
to whom this march is
dedicated. After hearing
this march performed on
piano as part of final
exam requirements in a
Music Theory course,
Professor Hensler
encouraged further
exploration of music
composition, leading
Compello into a prolific
career writing pieces
like this theme, now
years later arranged for
full band as a concert
march. Performance Notes
The form of the march is
a standard A-BB-Trio-C-A.
Melodically, much of the
march is based on the
figure contained in mm. 8
and 9. Tempo,
articulation, and
dynamics in a standard
march style are essential
to a successful
interpretation. Pay
particular attention to
dynamics in the second
strain at m. 41. Strive
for a legato diminuendo
at the transition in mm.
63-65. The melody in the
Trio (m. 70) will also
require smooth
articulation from low
brass and woodwinds. The
Euphonium counter-melody
will be played only
during the repeat of the
Trio. The Breakup Strain
(m. 87) is, of course,
powerfully marcato as is

Al Hayes
was one of seven
pseudonyms used by famous
march composer Henry
Fillmore. Fillmore became
so popular and was so
prolific in the early
part of the 20th century
that he had to resort to
pennames as to not
compete with himself.
This is yet another
tuneful, well-written
march by Fillmore that
has been given new life
in this setting by
arranger Laurie Lafferty.
This is the perfect march
for use as a festival
warm-up that is of a
moderate difficulty.
March. Composed by
John Philip Sousa.
Arranged by Andrew
Balent. Concert Band
(CPS). This early Sousa
march demonstrates his
melodic gift and his use
of counter melodies. Good
ensemble balance, dynamic
contrast, and proper
articulation are vital
for a good
performance.Performance

This march
is one of Harold
Bennett's (pseudonym of
Henry Fillmore) finest.
It is in Henry Fillmore's
typical fast and fun vein
and in standard march
form. What is unique
about this classic from
the original Bennett Band
Book is that it is one of
the few Bennett marches
that includes a break
strain, which will make
it a great introduction
to younger students to
prepare them to play the
more challenging marches
of Fillmore, Sousa and
others.

Dream Engine
is a concert overture in
classic ABA form. Opening
with a tuneful melody
that weaves throughout
the ensemble over
staccato accompaniments,
the piece then evolves
into a contrastingly
lyrical and beautifully
lush B section. As with
the rest of Clark's work,
Dream Engine blends
musicality with
teachability and is
perfect for your next

The
title is a play on words,
but the composer had his
own ulterior motives in
mind when composing this
piece. He wanted a piece
that was fun to play, but
that helped developing
musicians work on their
rhythmic skills. Matt
Putnam uses the feel of
action film soundtracks
to create the mood of
this interesting new
piece. Interesting
grooves in the percussion
throughout add to the
piece’s feel of
mystery and thrill. To
understand my thoughts in
writing this piece, I
thought it best to define
the two ideas that give
the piece its title:
ulterior motives and
musical motifs. Ulterior
motives occur when you
believe that a person is
doing something for some
unknown or hidden reason.
Often, they are used in
action films or
literature to increase
the drama and tension of
the story. Musically, a
motif is a short rhythmic
and/or melodic idea. When
I wrote this piece, I
must confess that I had
my own ulterior motives:
I wanted to create a
piece that was fun to
play, but I also wanted a
piece that would help
students develop their
rhythmic counting skills.
In this piece, I use a
motif of a two
eighth-note pattern which
jumps from section to
section to help me
achieve my ulterior
motive.Mimicking the mood
of action films whose
characters often have
ulterior motives, the
mood of the piece is
suspenseful and exciting
as the motif jumps from
section to section
throughout the ensemble.
The motif keeps you
guessing as it occurs on
all four different beats
of the measure sometimes
ascending, sometimes
descending, and occurs
sometimes in the interval
of a second and sometimes
the interval of a third.
Interesting grooves in
the percussion throughout
add to the piece’s
feel of mystery and
thrill.I have no ulterior
motives when I say that I
hope you enjoy playing
Ulterior Motifs.

Emergence
is a positive and
uplifting composition for
the youngest of concert
band students that uses
only the first six notes
of the Bb concert scale.
The sheer joy and
excitement beginners
exhibit from the
discovery inherent in
learning their
instruments is a
wonderful thing. This
piece was written as a
representation of that
joy as these young
students emerge from
their first foray into
music and glimpse of the
musicians they can
become.

Courage of
the Cossacks is a
refreshing march in the
style of Russian folk
music, offering a break
from the standard
American march style for
festival performance.
Composer Ed Kiefer has
scored this piece to
sound sonorous throughout
while highlighting all
sections of the band.
Directors looking for a
unique march need look no
further. Courage of
the Cossacks was written
for my friends in Union
County, NC . Based on
several Cossack folk
tunes it is a very dark
sounding march which
features almost every
section of the band . The
trio is one of the most
beautiful oppressive
melodies I have ever
heard, and it is set in
stark contrast to the
upbeat, Russian sounding
opening strains . After
the trio comes to a halt,
the piece restarts
slowly, gradually
accelerating to the final
strain, much like many
Cossack dances . A
combination of March and
Dance, this piece is not
too difficult to perform
and is very rewarding for
both students and
audiences . Courage of
the Cossacks is a great
piece to begin or end any
concert and a perfect
march for showing off
your group at festival
.

Notes Elephant is, of
course, inspired by the
incredible mammals of the
same name. Their
column-like legs, long
trunks, and massive
presence will never cease
to amaze; however, it's
their trumpeting that
makes them stand out as
the instrumentalists of
the animal kingdom! In
this selection, an
elephant's slow gate and
general demeanor are
represented by a
methodical tempo and
lumbering texture.
Woodwinds will enjoy the
opportunity to perform
grace notes while
Elephant also offers
exposure to flams for
young percussionists.
At m. 33 the
trumpets and horns
recreate an elephant call
after slipping brown
paper bags, or lunch-bag
mutes, over their bells
(in their bells for horn
players). For the trumpet
players, the mutes can be
enhanced with an
additional balled-up
piece of paper placed at
the bottom of the bag
prior to slipping it over
the bell. Horns should
ball up the bag itself
and experiment with
placement to create the
most realistic tones
without stopping the
instrument. While
specific pitches are
noted, making the best
elephant sounds should
prioritized. Young
students always look
forward to experimenting
with mutes, and this
selection offers an
inexpensive and creative
way to do so at a young
age. Note to the
Conductor This piece can
be used to introduce or
reinforce the finer
points of staccato
playing. While many
students know to play
these notes short in
length, they may need
reminding that they
should also be played
lightly. This also may
allow for opportunities
in emphasizing
contrasting articulation
styles that are in this
piece. Younger students
will likely need a
reasonable amount of
practice in successfully
using the lunch-bag
mutes. Allowing
additional rehearsal time
for this is

Aeolus is
the Greek mythological
god of the winds. The
title of this piece was
chosen, in part, because
of the Aeolian quality of
the music. Although not
strictly harmonized in
the Aeolian mode, the
themes themselves are
purely Aeolian. The
compositional form
bookends a broad and
dramatic middle section
with two sections in
regal march
style. Aeolus is sure
to be a great teaching
tool for young
bands!. Aeolus is the
god of the winds in Greek
mythology. The title was
chosen to indicate the
Aeolian quality of the
music. Although not
strictly harmonized in
the Aeolian mode, the
themes themselves a
purely Aeolian. The
opening section of the
music should be performed
in a march-like manner at
a brisk tempo deemed
appropriate by the
director for the
ensemble. The
countermelody first heard
at m. 31 should soar
above the ensemble. The
transition to the middle
section at m. 49 should
be played broadly and
dramatically with careful
attention to the
ritardando dimuendo,
both of which should be
performed smoothly and
gradually. Do not rush
the fermata in m. 51. A
sudden shift in tempo and
dynamics in the
transition will detract
from the entrance of the
contrasting theme played
soli by the clarinet
section at m. 52. The
counter lines found in
the contrasting middle
section beginning at m.
53 will require careful
attention to balance. The
second transition section
beginning at m. 79
requires a flexible tempo
and a smooth blending of
the horn line into the
clarinet line. An
effective, Â unrushed
rallentando at m. 81 will
make the sudden forte
entrance of the brass
fanfare at m. 83 all the
more dramatic. At m. 109,
the tempo may begin to
quicken at the discretion
of the director.
