Into the Wind

After a bracing and invigorating opening, Carl Strommen's tribute to the nautical culture of his home turf, Long Island, is off and flying. Wind whistles through the sails and the feel of the sea is ever-present in this tuneful and brilliantly scored selection from a master writer of music for band. This is a great way for a polished junior or senior high school band to show off its musical mettle.

Invercargill

This march has been a standard in the concert band repertoire for over 75 years. Arranger Andrew Balent works his usual magic and brings this challenging march within reach of more bands with his excellent scoring. Andy has a way of keeping the original intent intact but making the march feasible for less experienced players. Perfect for contest warm-up.

Invictus Rex - Matthew R. Putnam

Invocation and Dance

Starting from a lovely and haunting melody introduced by the clarinets, Carl Strommen's Invocation and Dance, in two contrasting sections, is an object lesson in how to write memorably for young musicians using simple, straightforward and appealing material. The fast second section begins with some wonderful quiet percussion writing and the phrase and meter shifting versions of the original tune cleverly vary it before leading to the fully-scored return of the melody in its original form. This selection is contest and festival material of the highest quality. Duration: 4'40"
