Laniakea - Jack Wilds

Laniakea, Hawaiian for "immeasurable heaven," is the name of our local supercluster, the massive structure of 100,000 galaxies in which the Milky Way is located. This lyrical work portrays a lone astronaut floating in a space suit at the edge of Laniakea and the emotions that might accompany such an experience. While the writing is very accessible, a sense of awe runs through the entire work that will leave your audience breathless.

Lanier Variants - Johnnie Vinson

During his brief lifetime, Sidney Lanier (1842-1881) was at one time or another a soldier, musician, teacher, lawyer, and a college professor. He is perhaps best remembered as a poet and for the middle school in Fairfax, Virginiawhich bears his name. Inspired by a favorite Lanier quote (Music is love in search of a word), Johnnie Vinson has fashioned a musical theme which captures the essence of this sentiment. With a bit of early American flavor, thismain theme progresses through a series of contrasting variations, culminating in a grand and heroic closing statement. Dur: 4:50

Lanigan's Ball - Ed Kiefer

Irish music is always interesting to composers and band musicians. It fits well with a concert band and is fun to play. Ed Kiefer starts with a solo clarinet on the jig Lanigan's Ball that builds and builds to a dramatic presentation of the folk song, before leading a section of repose based on the song Binnorie. The percussion is highlighted in a build-up to the climax where the tunes are combined for a dramatic conclusion.
