The Legend of Billy Miner - Robert Buckley

This composition reflects a colorful time in American history and is an opportunity for your band to discover ragtime rhythms. Folk hero Billy Miner (the Grey Fox) was the last of the old-time bandits. He was noted for his unusualpoliteness and is believed to be the originator of the phrase, Hands up! This composition is like a mini movie score and starts with the Billy Miner ragtime theme, followed by a train robbery, his capture, and final release. Theartful interplay between sections gives this piece the sophisticated sound and intensity of a much more advanced work. Dur: 3:35

The Legend of Hermes - Marc Jeanbourquin

In Greek mythology, Hermes plays many roles. Marc Jeanbourquin set the various tasks of this legendary _x005F_x001F_gure to music in a compelling concert work. In the _x005F_x001F_first movement we see Hermes as the son of Zeus and messenger of the gods. In the mysterious sounding second movement Hermes is depicted accompanying people's souls into the afterlife, and in the third movement we see him in yet another guise: as the god of thieves.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - Jim Stephenson

The Legend Of Spirit Island - Philip Sparke

The Legend of Spirit Island was commissioned by the Twin Ports Wind Orchestra, Duluth, Minnesota (Mark Whitlock, conductor), to honour the euphonium player, Dick Carlson. The piece takes its title from a local legend about Spirit Island, which lies in a gap of the St. Louis River called Spirit Lake. The legend tells the story of Chaska, the son of a Dakota Chief, and Wetona, the daughter of Ojibwe Chief Buckado. He was handsome and she was beautiful; it wasn't long before they fell in love. This is a challenging euphonium solo in which the versatile soloist can explore very expressive melodic sequences, as well as energetic, technical sections.

The Legend of Taum Sauk - Larry Clark

A strong new concert/contest piece written to depict the legend of Taum Sauk mountain in central Missouri. It is a classic Romeo and Juliet saga that involves two different tribes of Native Americans. Larry Clark works to bring out the drama of this story through his music. It is at first fast-paced and pulsing, with a 6/8 groove followed by a love song built on the same musical material, then leading back to the uptempo music for a conclusion. A solid work for young band that can introduce 6/8 time and has cross-curricular possibilities.
