Interruptions - Steven Bryant

Interruptions is a new, shorter version of one of Bryant's earliest works, Interruption Overture, and is filled with quirky humor and musical mayhem! The music begins with a lively melody using familiar, comfortable harmonies, butis soon interrupted by abrupt dissonance. The music resumes its earlier character, but these loud interruptions rudely reappear, and the music begins to take abrupt turns through different tonalities. The work finally settles intoa four-on-the-floor groove, as the opening melody and the interruptive material learn to coexist, leading to a climactic conclusion. A thoroughly enjoyable work for young bands!

By using these materials during the warm-up period, the conductor can mazimize this time, and focus on specific areas that are important to the performance of the music being prepared. This is not a book, but rather it is a sheet music publication just like any other band publication.

Intervalic - Sandy Feldstein

The essence of improving the aural skills of your students is by teaching them to recognize melodic intervals as part of the structure of music. This contest/festival style piece is also designed to teach most of the major and minor melodic intervals through the two main themes of the piece. As an added bonus, the back page of the parts includes both of the melodies written out for all of the instruments so that you can use the piece to teach this concept. Lesson plan materials are included with the score. This piece is correlated to The Yamaha Advantage band method book 2, but can be used with any band program of study.

Into Battle! - VanDoren

"Into Battle!" depicts an epic clash of opposing forces on a grand scale! Musicians will be eager to perform this exciting up-tempo work for young band, loosely inspired by Verdi's "Requiem" and the ever haunting "Dies Irae." An mature and bold musical moment for your developing band!

Into Heaven's Hands - David Shaffer

Opening with a lush flute soli, "Into Heaven's Hands" explodes with power, emotion and jubilation in celebration of a beautiful life. The powerful opening gives way to a lyrical and whimsical faster section. David Shaffer's mastery of intricate harmonic progression is on full display throughout this work. A slower, lyrical middle section compliments the entire piece with a balance of pure musical emotion. The percussion writing is simple but very effective in producing an exciting and musical experience for both the players and the listeners. An excellent choice for contest or festival!

Into Moonlight's Mist - Richard L. Saucedo

Drawing inspiration from the haunting beauty of the ring of mist that sometimes surrounds the moon (known as lunar halo) and also the legends and folklore associated with this phenomenon, Richard has created a masterful work for the concert stage. Into Moonlight's Mist opens quietly with transparent colors, then gradually builds and evolves throughout by adding layers of tonal richness and rhythmic intensity. Dur: 4:30

Into The Ages - Gay Holmes Spears

A wonderful portrait of Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. The words 'Now he belongs to the ages,' spoken at the death of Abraham Lincoln, is the basis for this musical tribute. Bold with beautiful wistful melodies, fragments of "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "Dixie," and dramatic percussion scoring make this an inspired and memorable achievement.
