Aunt Rhodie's Appetite

This is a truly delightful full concert presentation for beginning band using all of the tunes your band probably already knows from their beginning band method. Compello has developed these into a complete concert/play with the addition of incredibly cut

Aunt Rhodie's Diet - Joseph Compello

Aunt Rhodie's Diet is a sequel to the incredibly popular Aunt Rhodie's Appetite. Both arrangements are novel settings in which a beginning band can perform the standard folk songs found in the first few pages of most band methods. Because they are so easy to play, these arrangements by themselves would not make much of a concert, even for a beginning group. However, when used as incidental music to the story, the songs become sufficiently interesting to the audience, without taxing the capabilities of students who have only been playing for about 10 to 12 weeks.

Aurora - Thomas Doss

Aurora was the Greek goddess of dawn. Through the ages dawn has had a significant spiritual meaning - daylight conquering the ominous darkness of the night. This exciting work by Thomas Doss uses musical imagery to reflect the meaning of dawn by cultures throughout the world. The emphasis lies on oriental sounds - symbolizing the daily aurora in the Far East.

Aurora Dances - Philip Sparke

Aurora Dances was commissioned by the Hong Kong-based Winter Band Festival, and consists of three movements, to be played without a break. 'Aurora Borealis' opens with florid woodwind figures and highlights different sections of the band in turn. The second movement 'Aurora Australis' leads to a sombre chorale, which builds to a full-band climax. The finale 'Aurora Dances' is characterised by rhythmic, dance-like themes. A central section features a contrasting legato melody, but this doesn't dispel the energetic feel of the opening, which returns to close the work.Recorded by the Kobe College Wind Orchestra and its conductor Satoshi Yagisawa
