Edgemont Festival Overture

Starting with a fanfare, this overture quickly moves into a lively melody reminiscent of Holst. Varying meters and levels of rhythmic complexity create demands for mature players while the inner parts are at younger player levels. This is the perfect selection for a district-wide band performance or for bands with a wider variety of student abilities. A great concert opener or contest selection!

Effervescence

A lively and exhilarating piece for beginning bands, Effervescence lives up to its title and exceeds expectations. It contains rich harmonies and sweeping melodic gestures that are reminiscent of the American school of composers like Copland. With a sophisticated musical presentation yet limited technical demands, Effervescence is fun, accessible, and musically satisfying for young students.

Eight Nights of Light - Jonathan Leshnoff

Eight Nights of Light is a fantastic medley of traditional Chanukah and Jewish tunes arranged for today's middle and high school concert band. Composer Jonathan Leshnoff took inspiration from childhood memories of gathering around the menorah with his family and warming the cold winter nights with singing and inspiration. This cheery and vivid work is a joy for students to play and audiences to hear. A wonderful addition to your holiday programming.

El Relicario - Jose Padilla

Elation

Elegy for a Firefighter

Elephant

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 gait 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.
