Synergize!

The word synergize means to combine or coordinate the activity of two or more agents to produce a joint effort that is greater than the sum of their individual effects. Using a low brass groove with simple countermelodies above, this piece musically portrays that concept. Simple syncopation and dissonances introduce these concepts in a fun and interesting way. This exciting piece for younger players also features a short percussion break that allows the section shine. Program this for easy success at contest or for an entertaining concert selection.

Tapestries - Mike Forbes

Using the musical styles and forms of the Medieval and Renaissance periods, Mike Forbes has written a striking and powerful three movement suite that is a major addition to serious band literature. The music is entirely original, but the style and approach is similar to such pieces as the Courtly Dances from Gloriana by Benjamin Britten, and makes effective use of the coloristic possibilities of the modern concert band.
