Railroad Ramble - Peter Kleine Schaars

This composition was commissioned by the Concert Band of the NS (the Dutch railroad company) and is intended as an opening piece, bringing the band and the audience on track for an exciting concert! The ascending chords over theostinato bass of the introduction represent the energetic pulling away of the train. The main theme in 10/8 time makes one drift away in the rhythm of full speed. The clownish middle section reflects the seemingly disorderlyactivity in a station hall during rush hour. This is followed by a reprise of the main theme and the introduction, which brings this fascinating musical rail journey to an end.

Rain and Snow on the Cedar Cliffs - Ed Kiefer

This wonderful new contest and festival piece is based on two folk songs, Rain and Snow and Old Joe Clark. It starts out with the lush Rain and Snow and builds to a beautiful climax before leading into the up-tempo variants on Old Joe Clark.

Rain And Tears - Papathanassiou

Rain Forest Rhapsody - Paul Jennings

As it explores various moods and sounds of the world's endangered rain forests, this programmatic work gives each section of the band the opportunity to perform harmonies and textures usually found in more demanding literature.
