In a New Light

Beginning with a build to a nice climax that sets up some of the main thematic material, "In a New Light" drives forward with a lot of interplay between woodwinds, brass, and percussion. A section of repose follows with interjections of the rhythmic themes ending in an energetic build to the piece's conclusion.

In Grandfather's Arms

The warmth of a grandfather's embrace as he stares in awe of a cherished baby grandchild is the inspiration for this heartfelt composition. In Grandfather's Arms is a work for developing bands that emphasizes expression, phrasing, and dynamics. Low voices will also have the opportunity to be featured as they carry the key melody making this piece a wonderful teaching tool.

In That Quiet Moment

In That Quiet Momentwas written in memory of the composer's father. Grant Michel's heart-wrenching piece of reflection and sadness from the loss of a parent is rendered more poignant since the untimely passing of the composer himself. It is a wonderful piece to teach students emotional involvement in music and musicianship.

Inception

Incursion

Incursion was a collaboration between composer Sean O'Loughlin and the students of the commissioning group. When asked for a dark and scary sounding piece, O'Loughlin delivered in his typical fashion. Aggressive rhythmic figures set the tone of the piece with a foreboding and dark melody in the lower voices. The piece develops through several contrasting sections, providing plenty of exciting variations for students to enjoy.
