An ancient world calls… Spirit of the Warrior explores both the beauty and the power of a forgotten civilization; man’s mighty force amidst nature’s gentle majesty. It is dedicated to all soldiers and warriors, past and present, who give their all to protect home and nation. The warrior shows courage in the face of danger, and loyalty to a cause beyond self-interest. The warrior sees life’s fragile beauty with eyes few others can understand. Long after warriors fall in battle, their spirit lives on in the people and lands they have protected.  Using only the first six notes of the concert Bb scale, Spirit of the Warrior begins boldly. Separated notes in the low brass and winds represent the warrior’s power. Nature’s inspiring beauty is represented by the high woodwinds and bells, which play in counterpoint to the lower instruments.  Fully separate the staccatos, and shape the accents throughout to help the music feel powerful without being overly heavy or loud. At m. 29, be sure that the countermelody played by the clarinets and alto saxophone can be clearly heard.If you have additional percussionists, consider doubling the snare drum part on a low tom-tom. Experiment with the gong to find the sound you prefer: strike closer to the edge for a brash “crash” sound, or closer to the center for a more mysterious tone. The piece ends with the sound of the sustaining gong . Enjoy the drama and let the sound fade without (much) dampening.  .

ISBN 979-0-706334-24-0.

The name of the work refers to the hours of night when impulses buried deep in the sunconscious are released from the labyrinth of the mind. The subject ties in with Harri Vuori's composition - althoug abstactly - in that both the light, mobile motifs and the slower, lyrical passages are gradually forced to give way to a repetitive texture rising from the depths. It builds up to a mighty climax that makes heavy demands on both the technique and the physical resources of the performers. Duration ca 10 minutes.

Valon is a one-part composition. The surprising opening measures describe the sudden entrance into another world. After these initial measures, we hear a choral-like melody, which is repeated three times in different instrumentations with increasing intensity. This represents the procession of the ghosts dwelling in the underworld of Avalon, headed by the mighty magician Merlin.The exalted sound is then suddenly interrupted by a fast movement, in which ostinato figures alternate with bi-tonal motives. This represents the attempt of some evil characters to invade Avalon. Mordred is the leader of this horde and together they disturb the peace and quiet in the otherwisecalm Avalon. The flourish of trumpets heralds the entrance of the Knights of the Round Table who drive away the intruders and return to their castle, Tintagel, in a triumphal procession. Upon their return, the next problem presents itself. An inexplicable disease plagues the resting ghosts.The Knights and the Council of the Wise are convened to find out the cause of this problem. Musically this can be heard in the repetition of the initial themes. The Knights and the Council of the Wise determine that the presence of mortals is the reason that the resting ghosts are suffering. There is simply no room for mortal souls in Avalon. After a powerful statement by King Arthur, we hear a glissando referring to the very first measures, and… we are back in the normal world. The journey through the underworld has come to an end and a dream is over.

Avalon est une pièce dont le décor et les personnages sont empruntés aux légendes arthuriennes. L’œuvre débute par quelques mesures surprenantes qui nous font entrer subitement dans un autre monde. Une mélodie produisant l’effet d’un chœur représente la procession des fantômes et des esprits qui vivent dans l’île magique d’Avalon, avec, leur tête, le puissant magicien Merlin. Soudain, des figures ostinato et des phrases bitonales expriment la tentative d’une horde maléfique conduite par Mordred d’envahir le monde paisible d’Avalon. Après que le Roi Arthur soit intervenu avec force, on entend un glissando qui rappelle les toutes premières mesures, et… noussommes de retour dans le monde réel. Le voyage se termine et un rêve prend fin.

The magical world of King Arthur, Merlin and Mordred is the setting for Avalon. Unexpected opening figures portray the sudden entrance into another world. A choral-like melody represents the procession of ghosts headed by the mighty magician Merlin. Suddenly, ostinato figures and bi-tonal motifs indicate the attempt of Mordred and his horde to disturb the peace and quiet in the otherwise calm Avalon. Following a powerful statement of King Arthur, we hear a glissando referring back to the opening bars, and… we are back in the normal world. The journey through the underworld has come to an end and the dream is over.

Die magische Welt König Arturs, Merlins und Mordreds ist die Kulisse, in der Avalon sich abspielt. Befremdliche Eröffnungstakte geleiten plötzlich in eine andere Welt. Eine choralartige Melodie symbolisiert die Prozession der Gäste, allen voran der mächtige Magier Merlin. Das sonst so friedliche Avalon wird schlagartig mit Ostinato-Figuren und bitonalen Motiven des Mordred und seinem Haufen in Aufruhr gebracht. Aber nach einer energischen Rede König Arturs klingen erste Takte in einem glissando an — und wir sind zurück in der realen Welt. Hier ist die Reise ins Totenreich zu Ende und ein Traum vorbei.

A bold and powerful work for young bands! The aggressive theme sets the stage for this forceful original piece. In the spirit of The Planets by Holst, Titan-Moon of Saturn celebrates the multi-national Cassini-Huygens spacecraft that landed on Saturn’s moon, Titan, on January 14, 2005. There are many questions about Titan that this daring space exploration mission will seek to answer some of them. In addition to being a great piece for your own band, it is the perfect expression for a massed band performance. This is also a wonderful opportunity for some cross-curricular work with the science department.Mighty!

Das provokante Thema bereitet den Boden für diesen kühnen, kraftvollen Marsch für Jugendblasorchester. Im Geist von Die Planeten von Gustav Holst geschrieben, handelt Titan - Mond des Saturn von der Landung des Raumschiffs Cassini-Huygens auf selbigem Mond am 14. Januar 2005. Mike Hannickels Musik spiegelt das Abenteuer dieser Unternehmung und die vielen noch ungelösten Geheimnisse um Titan wider. Ein Thema, das die Fantasie beflügelt und motiviert!

Parmi toutes les lunes de Saturne, celle qui a le plus intrigué, c’est Titan. Deuxième plus grand satellite du système solaire, son étude est au coeur de la mission Cassini-Huygens. Le 14 janvier 2005, la sonde Huygens, séparée de l’orbiteur Cassini, a atteri sur Titan et fourni de nombreuses et précieuses informations sur ce monde part. Titan de Mike Hannickel est une marche puissante qui retrace cette aventure, fascinante plus d’un titre.

SATB choir - A somber statement of the first stanza of Christ Arose may begin this Easter medley but the refrain introduces a complete change of mood that remains until the mighty conclusion. Each hymn is harmonized and orchestrated as only Mark Hayes can. The addition of children's choir, congregation and considerable instrumental forces make this a glorious celebration for the Resurrection of our Lord.
