Highland Celebration - Alan Lee Silva

Written with the lilt and flavor of the Scottish Highlands, this original Alan Lee Silva piece is a joyous new addition to the concert band repertoire. The pulsing 6/8 rhythms are contrasted by momentary feelings of 3/4, as the melody floats over punctuated harmonies. This piece contains contrast, with a slower middle section featuring a divine flute melody, accompanied by the sound of "bagpipe" drones in the other voices. This grand Scottishstyle melody develops to a climax before the wistful return of the main theme, and an up-tempo coda completes the piece.

Highland Dance - Larry MacTaggart

Take a delightful romp through the highlands with this tuneful and lively selection in the style of an Irish jig. The highlight of the piece is the light-hearted and tuneful melody that every section of the band gets to play. A thoroughly fun and refreshing change of pace for any concert program!

Highland Dawn - Philip Sparke

Highland Dawn portrays a sunrise in the Scottish Highlands, where stunning mountain scenery and clear air create a special atmosphere. A faster central section describes the area coming to life as the day begins, using the Scotch 'snaps' which are characteristic of traditional bagpipe music; but the serenity of the opening returns to bring the work to a peaceful close.

Highland Echoes - Elliot Del Borgo

Highland Echoes, a dramatic new tone poem by a master of contemporary band scoring, is an evocative musical reflection of Scotland and the changing moods of the Scottish Highlands. The skirl of bagpipes, the distinctive "Scottish snap" rhythm and the drone of the pipes, create a series of distinctive moods, which feature Del Borgo's usual brilliant use of the percussion section and distinctive melodiousness. Duration: 4' 50"

Highland Echoes - Larry Daehn

A medley of Highland Dance, "The Lass of Gowrie," "Bythe and Merry Was She," "Scotland the Brave" and "Auld Lang Syne." Great fare for the young band.

Highland Fling - Robert Jager

This very playable and appealing overture by Robert Jager is sure to be enjoyable by younger players. Bold and dignified characterize the opening segment which is followed by an energetic faster theme reminiscent of a Scottish Highland dance. A tender hymn-like melody is then developed before returning to the faster theme and powerful closing coda. Very well scored to sound full.

Highland Hearts - Jack Wilds

Let the spirit of Scotland shine with "Highland Hearts!" This engaging work for grade 3-4 band combines evocative folk-inspired melodies and dynamic energy for an unforgettable performance.

Great for any concert performance.
