Shamadan Dance - Thomas Doss

This work has been written within the framework of the Obertne project by the Bezirksblasmusikverband Linz-Land (Austria). It was dedicated to Anton Forstner as a thank you for his years of support to wind music in the Linz-Land District. The Shamadan is an old oriental folk dance full of symbolism in which a female dancer - often on the occasion of a wedding - balances a candelabra on her head as a token of spiritual light. In this work, the euphonium takes up the role of the dancer. At the very beginning, the soloist already has the opportunity to shine in an unaccompanied recitative. Next, the soloist and band alternate, and in the course of the work the band also plays an important part with various technical highlights. More variation is created with a solo passage accompanied by percussion and hand claps, culminating beautifully in a grand tutti towards the end of the piece. Challenging music with much to enjoy!

Shanty - Scott Rogers

A shanty is a work song sung by sailors. The steady beat and strong pulse of the song helped the sailors to work together and coordinate their efforts. In the old days there was lots of heavy lifting, and raising the anchor or adjusting the sails required both strength and cooperation.

Shards Of Glass - Brett William Dietz

This 2005 National Band Association composition award winner was inspired by the American minimalist composer Philip Glass. Shards of Glass comprises a repetitive series of chord changes. Each repetition enters with varied orchestration and introduces new contrapuntal lines and rhythmic figures. This is the type of literature mature ensembles enjoy performing.

Shark Eyes - Hoefle

Wait until your students sink their teeth into this one! "Shark Eyes" can stand alone, or as the closer of the "Water Tales: A Suite for Band" which includes "Jellyfish", "Mama Sea Turtle", and "Axolotl Dance". Not only is it fun to play, but it is also an excellent tool for teaching dotted quarter notes!
