New York. Wind band - Nigel Hess

New York- or to be more precise, Manhattan. For anyone who is familiar with this bizarre and wonderful city, here is a 'picture' that needs no explanation. For those not yet hooked this is a foretaste of things to come!This piece forms the final movement of 'East Coast Pictures', commissioned by the British Youth Wind Orchestra with funds from the National Westminster Bank plc. It is a suite of three short 'pictures' that were inspired by several visits to a small part of the American East Coast, an area that provides great extremes in the geography and the people.

Nexus - James Curnow

The word nexus is defined as a tie or link between people and events. Nexus for solo trumpet and band includes several links between composer James Curnow and educator Alfred Watkins, to whom the work is dedicated. A well-knowntheme (particularly to Mr. Watkins' students) is drawn upon as the piece utilizes two primary musical settings - an energetic and agile scherzo that appears in the beginning and again at the end, contrasted with an expressiveballad theme. The soloist at the premiere (and on the recording) is Christopher Watkins, Alfred's son. This is a well-crafted and rewarding work for soloist and band alike. Dur: 6:00 (Recorded by the University of Alabama atBirmingham Wind Symphony - Dr. Sue Samuels, conductor. Christopher Watkins, trumpet soloist.) Also available for trumpet with piano reduction - HL00231702.

Ngoma Za Kenya - Paul Basler

I. Jambo is the first movement of a larger composition entitled Ngoma za Kenya. Written while composer Paul Basler studied in Kenya, the piece reflects the joyous optimism of the country's people. It is riddled with energetic rhythms, harmonies, and melodies from the indigenous music of Kenya. Bands will have a great time playing this piece!

Niagara - Gregory B. Rudgers

Niagara Falls has held the fascination of human beings from the time the very first Native American heard the low thunder of the falls and followed the sound to the mighty cascade. Niagara captures three important elements of the history and legends surrounding the Falls, and takes the listener on a journey through time. It consists of three sections, with an ancient Iroquois melody serving as their musical foundation.
