Pacem - Robert Spittal

From a lyrically introspective opening to an emphatic climax, this songful work reflects the scope of the struggle for personal and universal peace. A musically inspiring work with which to build sensitive ensemble playing.

Pacem Nol - Larry Clark

This delightful new holiday arrangement is based on the popular canon Dona Nobis Pacem combined with the famous carol The First Noel. It is effective, yet simple, and it brings together two beautiful songs in a delicate and musical way. As the title implies, may we all have "Peace for Christmas."

Pacheco Pass - Alan Lee Silva

Explosive ensemble phrases and aggressive percussion accompaniment accentuate the opening of Pacheco Pass, a dynamic new composition from established composer Alan Lee Silva. Divided into three sections??fast, slow, fast??the piece begins with a noble brass melody, transitions to a tender slow movement featuring woodwind solos, and reprises the opening brass melody.

Pacific Dreams - Jacob de Haan

Pacific Dreams describes the experience of Miguel, a traveling composer from Spain who, feeling somewhat alienated from his homeland, is wandering through an area of Sydney known as The Rocks. At a small outdoor market in a typical street of this oldcolonial neighbourhood, he discovers a print of William DeShazos painting "Pacific Dreams" Portrayed in the painting is the surf of one of the exotic islands in the Pacific. Next, with the impressive Sydney Harbour Bridge looming over the narrowstreets of The Rocks, he envisions sultry Pacific beaches. Suddenly a theme he once composed about the lakes in Japan comes to him. Is it the Asian influences present in cosmopolitan Sydney that bring this theme to mind? Or perhaps the waters aroundSydney, over which he could sail to Tahiti? He is uncertain. Could this same theme be used to create a new composition about his feelings for the metropolis Sydney? How then to work his Pacific Dreams into the mix? Miguel is certainly no fan ofHawaiian music. Mayby he could use the vocabularies of islands like Hawaii and Tahiti, their beautiful vowel combinations being sung ad libitum by a mixed choir.With these ideas and his newly purchased print of "Pacific Dreams", he boards the Metroat Circular Quay. He has a final glimpse of the harbour and the Sydney Opera House as the train races into the ground. On to the hotel! To work! He must compose!Maestoso : Miguel is impressed as he gazes upon the Sydney Harbour Bridge. And yet, hewants to go away from this city. Away, to an exotic island in the Pacific.Steady Rock : In the Rocks, musicians are playing at a square. Miguel basks in the atmosphere but at the same time he is fantasizing about Hawaii and Tahiti.Andante Lamentoso :In his hotel room, Miguel is feeling sad and lonely in this big city. He takes comfort in his "Pacific Dreams".Allegro : Miguel boards the boat that takes him from Darling Harbour to Circular Quay. In his mind he is traveling on to Hawaii. Or is ithome, where the bolero is playing? He is pulled back to reality by the skyline of Sydney.

Pacific Overture - Philip Sparke

This effervescent overture has it all: majestic fanfare sounds, melodious passages and lively figurations. The main theme has the atmosphere of a sea shanty - the work is called Pacific Overture for a reason! Turbulent waters and peaceful bays alternate until the vibrant fanfare from the beginning rounds the work off brilliantly.

Pacific Spirit - Robert Buckley

A great concert fanfare that will be the perfect opener to your next program. The piece opens with a bold and heoric brass fanfare then shifts to a beautifully orchestrated lyrical section before returning to the original theme adorned with woodwind flourishes. A hit!
