Applause! - Takamasa Sakai

This piece was inspired by a variety of music such as Broadway musicals, French cancan, and circus marches. A special rhythm pattern called "Ipponjime" (or "Sanbonjime") is played by the percussion (3 + 3 + 3 + 1) in the first four measures.This is how people freely clap their hands when ceremonies or parties end in Japan. This custom of clapping hands reflects Japanese people's spirit to readily move on to the next step. As the infectious work comes to its exciting conclusion every player shouts "yeah!"ensuring you will definitely hear rapturous applause!

Apple Island Legend - James Curnow

This work strives to capture the beauty of Apple Island, a small island located in the centre of Orchard Lake in Michigan, and the surrounding area. It also pays homage o the colourful Native American leader Chief Pontiac who lived and is buried on the island. The main theme, which appears throughout the work, is based on an original Native American chant that is still used today in their sacred religious ceremonies.

Appomattox - James L. Hosay

General Lee and General Grant are represented by their own themes in this expressive tone poem for band. The story of the Appomattox Courthouse meeting between the two military greats is one of extraordinary human drama, and Curnow effectively illustrates the heartbreaking trial and, finally, dignity experience by all involved. Field drum percussion and straight-muted trumpets and trombones give this an authentic historical sound.
