Renegade - Ed Huckeby

This unique work is a tribute to the legacy of legendary humorist, newspaper columnist, social commentator, and stage and motion picture actor Will Rogers. Although Rogers "never met a man he didn't like," his wit earned him a colorful reputation as a "political renegade" and public favorite. The music contrasts the "serious" and "satirical" sides of Rogers and presents your performing ensemble with lyrical, rhythmic, and metrical challenges. This one has great appeal which is sure to make it a favorite of both your performers and audiences!

Repercussions - Robert W. Smith

An exciting work for concert band by Robert W. Smith. The term "repercussions" is defined as an effect, influence or result that is produced by an event or action. Repercussions uses this concept of "cause and effect" in its creative approach. Rhythmic figures introduced in the winds are echoed in the percussion. Antiphonal percussion effects throughout create new layers of effect and interest as they interact throughout the piece. Accessible to most concert bands, the driving rhythms and musical interplay of this energetic work offer multiple teaching opportunities in a very appealing setting.

Rephrygeration - Todd Stalter

A dynamic concert opener or closer cast almost entirely in the Phrygian mode. The half steps that make this scale mode so unique are celebrated both in a melodic and harmonic sense, with aggressive low brass figures, crisp and rhythmic percussion, and winding passages in the woodwind. (2:50)
