North Bridge Portrait

North Bridge Portrait - Stephen Bulla

Contrasting colors and stylistic shifts trace the historic events surrounding "the shot heard 'round the world" in this challenging and significant new concert band work by Stephen Bulla. A rhapsodic adventure, NORTH BRIDGE PORTRAIT takes us from the merry atmosphere of the pre-revolutionary town through foreboding militant sounds. The fife-and-drum melody, "Washington's March", leads inexorably to the historic beginning of the American colonies' struggle for freedom.Vivid images combine to make this descriptive audience-pleasing composition a memorable experience for all that attend your performance. Historic and unique!

North Hills Fantasy - Philip Sparke

North Hills Fantasy was commissioned by the North Hills High School Bands, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (director: Len Lavelle) as part of a commissioning programme that has run since 1965 - the longest of its kind in the USA. The work opens with a reflective, unaccompanied solo for alto saxophone which develops into a chorale for horns and saxes. This is taken up by the trumpets and subsides to a change of key and mood, with highly decorated folk-like solos for clarinet, bassoon and saxes. These solos build to a climax for full band, which heralds a triumphant return of the horn chorale, accompanied by florid woodwind figuration. But the mood soon winds down; fragments of earlier melodies return calmly to peacefully close the work.

North Point March - Joseph Compello

A traditionally styled March for the very youngest bands, North Point March uses only the first six notes of the B-flat major scale. Using this simple framework, Compello has created a very fine piece for introducing the American march-style to young people, and provided them with a particularly hummable tune in the trio.
