Loch Ness - Jérôme Naulais

Loch Ness - Johan de Meij

The symphonic poem 'Loch Ness' consists of five through-composed impressions of this mysterious Scottish Lake. I) The Lake At Dawn - calm, static, sonorous blocks depict the troubled opaque water surface and the enormous depth of the Lake at daybreak. II) Slowly the rising early-morning mist reveals the distant ruins of Urquhart Castle, represented by a solemn theme in the trombones which is taken over by the full band, thus evoking the illustrious past of this fortress besieged so many times. III) Inverness: Bagpipes and Tourists - the music takes us down to the town of Inverness where the first tourists mark the slow but steady start of a new season to the sound of a Scottishmelody. IV) Storm - suddenly a heavy wheater breaks: fierce gusts of wind and heavy showers transform the erstwhile calm surface into an obscure and whirling mass of water, and clouds rapidly passing over offer an eery scene... V) Conclusion - storm and rain gradually decrease and when everything is quiet again we are granted a last view of the Lake in its full glory.

Locksley Hall - Elliot Del Borgo

Loco Motion - Les Taylor

Finally... a beginning band piece that introduces students to meter changes. The quarter note is constant throughout, making this a great teaching tool. With simple rhythms and ranges very compatible with first year reading skills, your group will have lots of fun with this one.

Loco Motion - Todd Stalter

Loco Motion is a musical word play on the title, with emphasis on the loco (in essence, crazy rhythm). The wind parts are quite rhythmic, even on static pitches, and players have the opportunity to duel with the percussion section using their hands and feet. Ideal as a concert opener or closer, the frenetic energy of Loco Motion is sure to start or finish your concert with an exclamation point! (2:30)
