When Hearts Tremble

When Hearts Tremble is an emotion packed piece dedicated to musician friends lost all to soon. This beautiful composition by Brant Karrick reflects on the fragility of human existence, joyous memories of loved ones and their effect on everyone around them, and maintaining hope for what the future will hold when all feels lost. This tour de force piece perfectly displays Karrick's polished compositional craft with impeccable scoring, beautiful melodic writing, and exceptional orchestrational color.

When Hope Falls Silent

When Hope Falls Silent is a deeply emotional piece inspired by the composer's personal experience of loss. Written with a slow, somber pace, the music reflects the quiet sorrow of a life cut short. The final section, marked by the timpani's heartbeat-like rhythms, gradually fades into silence, symbolizing the inevitable passage of time and the rise to a peaceful resolution.

Whispering Pines - Mike Forbes

Whispers and Shouts - Andrew Yozviak

Starting out at a slow and reflective movement, gradually increases tempo and the composition grows to its finish. It has a joyful melody and grows in excitement. The 1st trumpet's highest note is B, and the clarinets play above the break.

Whitewater Run

This driving rhythmic piece is written to depict an exhilarating run down a whitewater river. Composer Ed Kiefer draws on his years of experience as a band director to provide a perfect choice for younger bands with small forces in the lower voices as those sections are mostly scored in unison. A welcome addition to the repertoire for young band festival performances.
