Of Men and the Sea (Grade 4) - Roland Barrett

Woodwind flourishes set the stage for the heroic main theme, which establishes the pace of the work. The quiet middle section reflects the sailors' isolation from land and loved ones before the feeling of triumph emerges once again, as the thrill of sailing on the high seas comes crashing right into your concert hall. A great concert opener!

Of Monsters and Men - Randall D. Standridge

Mary Shelleys literary classic is musically retold in this thrilling adaptation for concert band. Inspired by three scenes from the book, listeners are transported from the frigid arctic wasteland where the novel begins, to the eerie graveyards and laboratory where the monster is created, and finally to the terrifying climax. Styled after the Gothic soundtracks of classic horror movies, the music creates a strong sense of drama that will quicken the pulse as the story unfolds.

Of Noble Courage - Barry E. Kopetz

Of Noble Courage is majestic in flavor, capturing the very essence of noblity and dignity. Similar in character to the ceremonial music used in Great Britain, the stately thematic material reflects the rich history of British tradition. It can be performed either as a festival or concert selection and is also extremely useful as prelude music for any important ceremony. Opening with a resounding fanfare, the music that follows is elegant in character; music befitting a procession of dignitaries in the manner of Pomp and Circumstance. If used as a procession, there are opportunities for repeats to use as needed.

Of Pomp and Ceremony - Barry E. Kopetz
