Kings Row Fanfare - Erich Wolfgang

Kings Row fanfarecontinued Erich Wolfgang Korngold's late career transition from period piece and adventure films to adult dramas whose darker tones and complex narratives, which lent themselves well to his operatic writing. Korngold was very much attracted to the psychology and complexity of this character driven drama. What resulted was one of the finest scores he ever composed, which was at once sumptuous, melodically rich, and full of heartache and nostalgia. What is remarkable is that he wrote twelve themes, one for each character, as well as numerous secondary motifs. The manner in which he weaves his themes together, varies their expression, and joins them with exquisite contrapuntal writings offers testimony to his compositional gift and mastery of his craft. In many ways Kings Row is, from a compositional standpoint, perhaps the most satisfying, and best score Korngold ever composed.

Kingsbridge Overture - David Gorham

A regal fanfare opens this majestic new work. Interesting melodic development follows, including opportunities for soloistic playing, culminating in an exciting finale.

Kingsfold - Traditional

The haunting melody of this traditional tune likely dates to the Middle Ages, and was published by British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams in the 1906 English Hymnal. Freely adapted by Johnnie Vinson in this setting for youngbands, the minor melody is stated first by low clarinets and horns. The next section introduces an original theme, which is then combined with the first melody in the moving final section. Beautifully paced and scored largely inchoral fashion, this is a wonderfully fresh and unique offering for holiday or winter concerts.

Kingsway - Ton Kotter

Kirkpatrick Fanfare - Andrew Boysen Jr.

This work has a definite Irish flavor, including a strain of Danny Boy that seems to rise out of nowhere and move forward to a powerful finale. The entire works grows in texture and excitement after opening with a drum and piccolo duet. The "Fanfare" features driving rhythms and exciting brass figures that climax with a resounding finish.

Kirkpatrick's Muse - Jay Bocook

Commissioned by the McDaniel College Summer Music Camp in Westminster, Maryland, Kirkpatrick's Muse celebrates 30 years of excellence and is dedicated to camp founder, Dr. Linda Kirkpatrick. The piece opens with a plaintive Irish style flute solo, then moves seamlessly to the fast-paced section loosely based around the Appalachian fiddle tune Glory in the Meeting House introduced by the bodhran (Irish frame drum). Highlighting the simple charm of traditional Irish music, Kirkpatrick's Muse also features some wild excursions in color, texture and harmony. Dur: 5:00
