Introduction

Grade 5

Gayaneh Dance Suite No. 1Aram Khachaturian/arr. Kenneth Snoeck Selected from the Gayaneh Ballet, these three col-orful examples of Aram Khachaturian’s writing for ballet are based on rhythms and melodic mo-tives from different ethnic groups, ranging from the very Slavic Ukranian “Gopak” (Hopak) to the

Armenian “Dance of the Maidens” and the Kurdish “Mountaineers’ Dance.” They vary in instrumental color and tension from festive and party-like, through sultry and romantic, to tense and almost angry. These may be performed in any combination – a single stand-alone dance movement, a contrasting pair, or all three in a complete set. A culturally rich and unique experience for players and audience alike. Dur: 7:45 (G.

Samuel R. Hazo

ArabesqueSamuel R. HazoCommissioned by the Indiana Bandmasters Asso-ciation for the 2008 All-State High School Honor Band, this stunning work from the pen of Samuel Hazo is a tour de force of Middle Eastern sounds for the contemporary wind band. From delicate and sensual soloistic writing to full-blown ensem-

ble passages with rapid fire tutti rhythms and frenzied percussion, here is a rewarding piece with drama and depth that will be the high point of any concert or festival program. Period!

Walking into History (The Clinton 12)Richard L. SaucedoIn August 1956, Clinton, Tennessee was the the site of one of the most significant events of the American Civil Rights movement as 12 courageous teenagers walked into history becoming the first students to desegregate a state-supported high school in the south. Commis-sioned by the East Tennessee School Band and Orchestra Association, Richard Saucedo captures the mood of this monumental event along with its sense of anger and frustration, but also with feelings of hope and determination as the nation struggles to defeat bigotry and fear. Dur: 5:45 (MusicWorks)04002879 Score and Parts .....................................................$95.0004002880 Score ....................................................................$15.00

CathedralsKathryn Salfelder Named the 2008 winner of the prestigious Frederick Fennell Prize for young composers (sponsored by ASCAP and CBDNA), Cathedrals by Kathryn Salfelder is a fantasy on Gabrieli’s Canzon Primi Toni from the “Sacrae Symphoniae,” which dates from 1597. The work is an ingenious

synthesis of old and new, evoking the mystery and allure of Renaissance spatial music through the use of two brass choirs, and intertwined with a rich color palette, modal harmonies, and a variety of woodwind and percussion textures. A stunning addition to the wind band repertoire.

Canadian Brass ConCert Band works

Shaker Suitearr. Rayburn Wright/adpt. Mark Davis ScatterdayLegendary composer, arranger, and author Rayburn Wright is responsible for initiating the storied jazz program at the Eastman School of Music, and was also a composer for film and television. His masterful setting of Shaker melodies includes the familiar Simple Gifts, along with The Happy Journey

and I’ve Set My Face for Zion’s Kingdom. Used to feature a separate brass quintet or with members within an ensemble’s brass section, this is truly a memorable setting adapted by current Eastman Wind Ensemble conductor Mark Davis Scatterday.

Suite from MassLeonard Bernstein/arr. Michael SweeneyBernstein’s Mass is a monumental 90-minute work that was written for the opening of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. in 1971. In this suite, com-missioned by the Canadian Brass and the Eastman Wind Ensemble, arranger Michael

Sweeney focuses on a select number of movements, often using the brass quintet to represent the vocal lines found in the original. The striking and beautiful work includes Alleluia, Sanctus, the well-known A Simple Song, Agnus Dei, Offertory and Almighty Father. Although scored for brass quintet and wind ensemble, ample cues are provided to allow this to be performed by a wind ensemble or symphonic band alone.

Grade 4

An American FanfareRick Kirby In this dynamic concert opener, Rick Kirby takes the normally hymn-like strains of “America” (My Country, ‘Tis of Thee) and incorporates it into a fast and energetic fanfare. The actual melody is stated only once in its entirety, and many liber-ties are taken with both melodic and harmonic elements of the original. Breathtaking! Dur: 1:40 (MusicWorks)

04002786 Score and Parts .....................................................$60.0004002787 Score ......................................................................$7.50

Southern HymnSamuel R. Hazo Even though the themes used in this beautiful setting are original, it is intended to be played in the style of a slow Southern folk hymn, similar to “Amazing Grace” or “Shenandoah.” Filled with suspensions and resolutions, as well as calm moments and powerfully emotional builds, this is a marvelous work for expanding your ensemble’s stylis-tic and dynamic range. Dur: 4:25 (MusicWorks)04002790 Score and Parts .....................................................$75.0004002791 Score ......................................................................$7.50

RicHaRd l. Saucedo

American BarndanceRichard L. Saucedo Rhythmic and energetic, this lively work contains elements of an early American character but also features a poignant, calmer section with a lighter texture and interlaced lyric motifs. The piece builds to a dramatic peak with a powerful and majestic statement by the full ensemble. The final segment,

however, becomes more and more frenzied with mixed meters and re-lentless percussion figures as it races to an exciting conclusion. Filled with humor and creativity, this unique composition will easily find a place in your contest or festival repertoire. Dur: 3:35 (MusicWorks)04002794 Score and Parts .....................................................$75.0004002795 Score ......................................................................$7.50

PassagesMichael SweeneyThe term “passage” can variously describe a “passageway” of travel, a musical phrase, or perhaps the soul’s moving on from this world to the next. In this work for band, dark and rich sonorities are contrasted with a lilting, Celtic-flavored melody as it alternates with striking “passages” from the brass. Later, an alto sax soloist adds a haunting quality to the mood followed by a return of the ethnic drumming heard earlier. This unique and rewarding composition is beautifully paced and skillfully orchestrated using every section of the band.

JoHnnie VinSon

Suite for Winds and PercussionJohnnie Vinson Commissioned by Prattville (Alabama) High School, this work in three movements pays tribute to that city’s founder, Daniel Pratt, who was one of the leading industrialists of the early 1800s. In-cluding movements entitled “Fanfare for a New

Era”, “Ode: The Southern Landscape,” and “Perpetual Motion: Ma-chines,” composer Johnnie Vinson uses creative scoring and intrigu-ing sounds to recreate this period of American history in an impres-sive work for band.

RobeRt longfield

Airs of the Court (from Ancient Airs and Dances, Suite No. 3)Ottorino Respighi/arr. Robert LongfieldFrom his famous Ancient Airs and Dances, 20th-century composer Ottorino Respighi used dis-tinctive melodies from Renaissance composer Jean-Baptiste Besard in this second movement of

the third suite. This marvelous adaptation for band retains the au-thenticity of the original in an attractive yet very playable and unique setting. Dur: 6:00 (MusicWorks)04002887 Score and Parts .....................................................$75.0004002888 Score ......................................................................$7.50

He’s Gone AwayRick Kirby One of the most distinctive characteristics of this traditional Appalachian folk song is the jazz-like use of occasional “blue” notes in the melody and harmony. This setting effectively explores the many instrumental colors and textures of the modern concert band, yet it maintains the simplicity and beauty of the original melody.

100th anniversary!First suite in e-flat by Gustav HolstCelebrating its 100th anniversary, First Suite in E-flat by Gustav Holst is considered by

many to be the cornerstone piece in the repertoire for the mod-ern concert band. Composed in 1909, its musical depth and richness of sound continue even today to inspire performers and thrill audiences. Listed below are three versions enabling bands of all levels to experience this masterwork of band literature.

Jay bocook

Washington Post MarchJohn Philip Sousa/arr. Jay BocookThis lively 6/8 march from John Philip Sousa re-mains one of his best-known and most performed marches. While keeping the essence of the original intact, Jay Bocook does a masterful job of adjust-ing the instrumentation and ranges to be playable

by just about any young band. An American classic that’s perfect for any program! Dur: 2:30 (Grade 3) (MusicWorks)04002891 Score and Parts .....................................................$60.0004002892 Score ......................................................................$7.50

Chorus AngelorumSamuel R. HazoThis poignant and moving work musically tells the tale of a chorus of angels (chorus angelorum) as they accompany two souls to the next world. Composed as a memorial piece, the music evolves from the initial “angels’ song,” their journey to heaven, and their return to comfort those who mourn. The voice parts (performed on a synthe-sizer or by real voices) add an ethereal quality to this wonderful work.

Recorded by the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Wind Ensemble – Jack Stamp, conductor – Samuel R. Hazo, guest conductor

Theme and TiradeRichard L. SaucedoThe opening of this unique work features a gentle and serene theme traded between clarinet, oboe and trumpet soloists played over a lush harmonic background. The mood shifts abruptly, however, as the “ti-rade” begins! A predominant timpani pattern helps propel this section through a series of angular passages, driving rhythmic figures, a jazz-tinged clarinet solo, and ultimately blossoming into a triumphant and glorious conclusion. Dur: 3:30 (Grade 3 1/2) (MusicWorks)04002861 Score and Parts .....................................................$65.0004002862 Score ......................................................................$7.50

Folk Dances Dmitri Shostakovich/arr. James Curnow Here is one of the most popular works of Russian master composer Dmitri Shostakovich skillfully adapted by James Curnow. Filled with humor and vitality, this single-movement work is an engaging and worthy entry in the repertoire for younger bands. Dur: 4:35 (G. Schirmer)

PulsationRichard L. Saucedo Written entirely in one tempo, but with the me-ter alternating between 4/4 and 6/8 throughout, Richard Saucedo creates an ingenious effect of pulsating motion along with layers of textures and sounds. Starting with a soloistic dialogue between flute and clarinet, the work progresses to thicker

sonorities and percussive effects including clapping and shouting. Definitely an enjoyable work that is off the beaten path!

River of HopeMichael Sweeney The centerpiece of this work for band is the memorable Appalachian folk hymn “Down to the River to Pray,” which was featured in the 2000 film O Brother, Where Art Thou? Interspersed with this melody is a faster original theme that provides a complementary yet contrasting tone to the emotional statements of the folk hymn. Richly scored and flowingly beautiful.

New Forest MarchJohnnie Vinson Here is a terrific march for young players written in the traditional British style. The opening strains are folk-like in nature with under-lying modal harmonies, while the stately trio is reminiscent of the processional style of Elgar and other British composers. The “New Forest” refers to a region in southern England established as a royal hunting preserve by William the Conqueror around the year 1079, which has remained largely unchanged since ancient times. Dur: 2:10 (MusicWorks)04002875 Score and Parts .....................................................$50.0004002876 Score ......................................................................$5.00

Meeting at Tryon PalaceRichard L. Saucedo Described by the composer as “bombastic, but with a groove” this work for young players opens with striking percussion statements. The band enters gradually, first with unison figures along with the percussion, and then additional layers. A contrasting slow section with flowing lines and minor harmonies sets the stage for the dra-matic final section. A great way to showcase your percussion section.

micHael Sweeney

On the Edge of TomorrowMichael Sweeney Written for a middle school band in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the composer states that “although commis-sioned prior to the catastrophic flood of 2008 that affected so many people including students and teachers, the work took on new meaning as a way

to cope with disaster and have faith in a better tomorrow.” Displaying a range of emotions from anger to reflection to hope, this is a magnifi-cently powerful overture for young players.

Quinque (Dance for Band)Johnnie VinsonQuinque (the Latin word for “five”) is a great way to introduce the 5/4 meter to your young players. Consistently using a 3+2 rhythmic grouping throughout, the melodies and accompaniment figures are easy to learn. This piece features an appealing dance-like quality, lots of variety in scoring, plus tutti ensemble patterns with short feature spots for percussion.

Nessun Dorma (from Turandot)Giacomo Puccini/arr. Johnnie VinsonThere may not be a more beautiful melody in all of classical litera-ture than this masterpiece by Puccini. This wonderful adaptation for young players gives all sections of the band a chance to play the melody at some point. What better way to teach a lyric style of playing than with this well-paced and rich-sounding arrangement.

Probably the best-known Frenchman of all time, he developed exceptional military talent and eventually became emperor of France. Relive the golden French age with this

fantastic work for concert band. Dur: 14:4544010396 Score and Parts ...................................................$125.0044010397 Score ....................................................................$10.00

A Weekend in New York Philip Sparke Opening with a skillful description of the cityscape of New York, this work captures the excitement of a first experience in Manhat-tan. A “street scene” begins with a laid-back blues theme on the alto saxophone, which is then taken up by the whole band and is abruptly interrupted by faster music. This is followed by a passionate melody that depicts a sense of awe from the whole experience until the trav-eler passes by an open door of a jazz club. The alto sax again takes the lead but soon the “street music” returns, leading back to the opening material. A short coda brings this brilliantly entertaining composition to a close.

Idée Fixe First Movement from The Zeppelin Symphony - Symphony No. 1Thomas DossWritten to celebrate the Zeppelin Foundation’s centennial, Thomas Doss’ first symphony repre-sents the passionate history of the world’s most renowned airship. Throughout his contrasting

score, Thomas Doss has captured Count von Zeppelin’s obsession and the subsequent realization of his dream of producing a “flying cigar!” The first movement describes how passionate Zeppelin was about his idea and the vision that got hold of him. Towards the end of the movement, the music swells to a pictorial image of the count, in which he sees the ship floating above himself.

Three Klezmer MiniaturesPhilip SparkeKlezmer music originated in the “‘shtetl” (villages) and the ghettos of Eastern Europe, where itiner-ant Jewish troubadours, known as “klezmorim,” had performed at celebrations, particularly wed-dings, since the early Middle Ages. Three Klezmer

Miniatures uses the following traditional tunes: 1. Sham Harei Go-lan (There are the mountains of Golan) and Nigun Shel Yossi, a circle dance; 2. Tumbalalaika, a Russian Jewish love song; 3. Hava Nagila, perhaps the most famous of all Jewish folk dances – the title means “let us rejoice.” Bring the spirit of Klezmer to your next concert with this exciting piece.

Performed at the 2008 Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic in Chicago, this piece clearly reflects influences of Mendelssohn and Elgar. It is written in a festive

setting, but a beautiful cantabile trio (very characteristic of the works of Jan Van der Roost) is wonderfully included.

Arrows of LightningMarco PützArrows of Lightning is a work in four movements by Luxembourg composer Marco Pütz. Native American songs and poems, which include a song that translates as “Arrows of Lightning,” served as the inspiration for this composition. In this song, the arrows were charmed by means of singing and

dancing so that they would go faster – as fast as lightning. The scoring enables this piece to be performed by a band without a full contingent of players. A fantastic wild-west adventure for your band.
