Earth rise is the name of an iconic NASA photograph, taken on December 24, 1968 from the Apollo 8 spacecraft while orbiting the Moon. Composer Steven Pyter depicts this historical event with the evocative tone poem for developing bands. A flute solo (cued in other instruments if needed) floats above rich sonorities. The flute's melody is passed around the band and eventually is accompanied by sparkling aleatoric woodwinds. The Apollo 8 spacecraft crests the moon's horizon and planet Earth is visible in the vastness of space. Earthrise is correlated with Tradition of Excellence Book 2, page 34.

The Butterfly that Stamped is a story from the anthology Just So Stories, written by Rudyard Kipling for his daughter who suffered constant bad health. The book inspired composer Maxim Aulio to compose this work which is in a French impressionistic style. The piece opens with a beautiful palace surrounded by the impressive gardens of King Solomon. It is in these gardens that the baritone saxophone makes its appearance representing King Solomon himself, the flute representing the butterfly couple, the clarinet representing Queen Balkis and the trumpet the djin.

The Butterfly that Stamped - Der Schmetterling, der aufstampfte“ - ist eine von zwölf Erzählungen aus dem Band Just So Stories, den Rudyard Kipling, der berühmte Autor des Dschungelbuchs, Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts für seine kranke Tochter schrieb. Der französische Komponist Maxime Aulio ließ sich von dieser bezaubernden Geschichte zu einer Komposition im Stil des französischen Impressionismus inspirieren. Vor der wundervoll orchestrierten musikalischen Kulisse des Palastes und der Gärten König Salomons treten das Baritonsaxophon als König Salomon, die Flöten als Schmetterlingspärchen, eine Klarinette als Königin Balkis und die Trompeten als Dschinnsauf.

Rudyard Kipling a sillonné le monde, glanant de-ci de-l des mots et des merveilles raconter aux petits et aux grands.

UPC: 8402701910.

Bruce Pearson is best known as the author of the Standard of Excellence Comprehensive Band Method. But quietly and consistently he has become one of the foremost composers of quality and challenging music for young bands. Now Tableau joins such grade two titles as Tapestry, Renaissance Triptych, Proclamation, and Canticle as outstanding compositions for both contest/festival and concert programming. A tableau is a graphic description or representation of ancient days and Tableau, the composition, is its musical counterpart, written in the ancient F Aeolian mode. Sparked by a tranquil Andante trumpet solo, and followed shortly by an exciting Allegro flute solo, the selection ends with dramatic ascending scale passages for all instruments in the band. A performance must!

Energetic and uplifting, this compelling work will captivate your audience on the edge of their seats! Quest to the Summit is an overture for wind band that is inspired by the composer's friend's arduous journey to the peak of Indonesian volcano, Mount Semeru. Ample cross-cueing of parts have been carefully considered to allow your band to exploit the music to its fullest. Known for his distinctive lyrical writing, Benjamin Yeo's slow and heart-warming middle section offers excellent opportunities for your flute soloist and the band to showcase their best in tone, balance and phrasing. This masterfully crafted work is unbelievable at this grade level and will definitely take the spotlight in your next band concert, contest or festival performances. Very outstanding!

The poignant lament “Mo Chile Mear” (My Gallant Hero) was authored after the defeat of the Scots and their Celtic allies at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, ending dreams of independence from English rule. Michael's emotional setting opens with a flute solo then builds gradually as layers of instrumental groups are added. The piece shifts to a lilting 6/8 style, propelled by the percussion section, and culminates in a majestic statement by the entire ensemble.

A contrast between heroic trumpet melodies and lyrical woodwind lines highlight this effective new composition from Alan Lee Silva. Bands will sound their best and love doing it with this distinctive new piece that is suitable for concert or contest.
Staccato brass figures along with woodwind trills and runs highlight the powerful opening of Legend of the Lake. The trumpet states the heroic main theme at m. 10. The dynamics soften in m. 18 for a lyrical flute solo, playing the B-melody. The full woodwind section is featured at m. 26 in a reprise of the B-melody. The trumpets proclaim the A-melody again at m. 34 with full band accompaniment, plus woodwind fills and background lines. The interlude at m. 42 features each section of the band independently as well as the entire ensemble in concerted rhythms.The reiteration of the introduction material at m. 49 builds to a slow maestoso treatment of the A-theme. A short contrapuntal interlude, featuring woodwinds at m. 61, leads to an ending statement with the complete group at m. 66. Measure 68 is a percussion feature that builds to the explosive final tonic chord and staccato unison ending.

This has become a staple of band literature. Claude Smith is well known for taking hymn tunes and creating wonderful pieces of music. Trumpet and trombone trios are featured in the opening statement, followed by free-flowing Rubato flute solo. A piccolo and bassoon duet follow in the next section. Variations of the theme appear in the fugato section, followed by the full chorale. The audience may sing the hymn tune during the full chorale. The triumphant ending features the horn section which leads to an emotional finale. God of Our Fathers is also available for full orchestra, and an edition for SATB Choir with piano/organ, which may be used in a massed band/orchestra/choir setting as well. An audience favorite and one of Smith’s most popular works.
