Lament and Jubilation - Ted Ricketts

Written in two main sections, this work opens with a lament featuring a melodic woodwind melody in a slow minor setting. The fast jubilation that follows includes a driving and rhythmic theme that is traded between the brass and woodwind sections. Expertly scored for younger ensembles, this will be easy to learn and exciting to perform. (2:35)

Lament and Tribal Dances - Michael Sweeney

Commissioned by the Iowa Bandmasters Association, this dynamic work from Michael Sweeney is written in three contrasting sections. The opening Lament features a plaintive horn melody and expansive harmonies. The mood then shifts to an intensely rhythmic dance using an unusual modal scale. In the final section, the flutes switch to recorders and a driving percussion ostinato figure helps propel this magnificent piece to a dramatic ending. A rewarding and satisfying work from one of today's best composers for young bands.
