Rejoice, Dolce, and Dance - Quincy C. Hilliard

Written in three different and distinct styles, this concert and contest composition has bold majestic sections, lyrical legato areas and fast lighter technical portions. Full of room for director interpretive elements, the band that pays close attention to articulations and dynamics will not only enjoy performing but also learning the many musical concepts presented in this easier than it sounds selection.

Rejoissant! - David Shaffer

As the title suggests, is a celebration of life's conquering obstacles, specifically of the composer's own personal battle against cancer. Written for the Upper Sandusky High School (Ohio) Wind Ensemble and with the thanks from the composer for the support and opportunity to compose this piece during a very difficult period of time, "Rejoissant!" opens with a slower dramatic fanfare in the brass and percussion. The simple but forceful melody is repeated in several forms throughout the piece, including the beautiful and melodic middle section. This exceptionally emotional and energetic composition is suitable for all concerts and especially festival performances.

Relativo - Robert W. Smith

This impressive concert/festival work by Robert W. Smith will be a welcome addition to the standard repertoire. Based on the concept of relativity, the composer uses related rhythms, melodic motifs and key centers to create a rich musical tapestry. Equally rich in educational concepts and teaching opportunities, we predict "Relativo" will become part of your personal teaching repertoire for years to come.

Relics Of The Past - Sean O'Loughlin

As the title implies, here is a piece from popular composer Sean O'Loughlin that harkens back to ancient times. The minor mode gives the piece a seriousness that students will love. Relics of the Past was inspired by the composer's trip to Yosemite National Park with his family, where he was awed by the majestic, expansive views of the park. From Half Dome to Yosemite Falls to the giant Sequoia trees and more, Yosemite National Park embodies ancient beauty and conflict, reflected here in Relics of the Past. Beginning groups only need to use the first six notes that they learn to play this expressive, haunting piece.
