And The Bells Shall Sing - William Windham

And the Earth Trembled (Symphony 1, Mvt. III) - Reineke

The third movement begins in the early morning hours of April 18th, 1906. As the city sleeps the fault line rips and the Earth begins to tear apart. Devastation and destruction ensue as the city turns to chaos caused by the tremors and aftershocks of the earthquake. An odd-metered march develops that signifies the soldiers marching in to take control of the city as it burns in the aftermath of the quake.

And the Fire Raged! - Ted Ricketts

Displaying a variety of colors and musical styles, here is an impressive offering from Ted Ricketts. The calm setting in the beginning gradually gives way to a faster, emotionally-charged section featuring the trumpet section with rhythmic answers from the rest of the ensemble. Also featured is a contrasting section for woodwinds and brief solos for clarinet and flute before returning to the powerful faster strains and exciting ending. (3:55)

And the Herald Angels Sang - James Swearingen

This wonderful Christmas medley combines three favorite holiday carols with the word "angel" in their titles and Swearingen's treatment of each is simply divine! They are; "Angels From The Realms Of Glory," "Angels We have Heard On High" and "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing." Audiences will think this arrangement is heaven sent.

And Then the Ocean Glows - Johann Strauss

And Then the Ocean Glows was commissioned by Niihama Grade School and its director, Mr. Shinichi Tagawa and completed in April of 2002. Mr. Tagawa and I titled the piece together, drawing from sectional themes of "Shining Morning Ocean", "Wind Stormy Ocean" and "Large Mother Ocean." Before I began composing the piece, I visited Niihama's rehearsal and met the band's inspired young students. The work's theme and melodies are enjoyable and compelling for musicians; I would be delighted for bands to experience this fresh composition.Niihama Grade School Band performed this work for the All Japan Band Contest in 2002 and advanced to divisional level to receive a gold prize. The band also appeared in the TBS Children's Music Contest and received a first prize. (Satoshi Yagisawa)
