Arcanes

Archduke Albrecht March - Karel Komzak II

Archers of the Forbidden Forest - Joseph Eidson

Imagine a dark forest filled with unspeakable danger where a moving shadow could be a stray branch or hidden danger waiting to strike. Protecting us are the brave souls on horseback that can be heard riding to the rescue with heroic fanfare-like melodies announcing their approach. Adventurous melodies combine with galloping rhythms to drive away the danger for a grand and victorious ending.

Arctic Funk - Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen

Arctic Funk might just as well have been a flashing sequel to a scene from Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story. Popular music but with a difference, as indicated by the title. The work's quiet section temporarily soothes down the heated passion of its two corner movements, but everywhere else action is required throughout. The work was commissioned in 1991 by Troms? Brass. Situated just above the Polar Circle, Troms? is one of Norway's northernmost towns. Topographically, the town probably comes across as freezing cold, but Troms? is famous for its 'warm' night-life. The Composer: In Arctic Funk you might get a feeling of a party that takes place betweenice-rocks and snow-capped mountains.

Arctic Wars - Brian Balmages

Arden Variations - John F. Edmunds

Arden Variations is a theme and variations form in three movements, each replete with melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic variations on the simple 8-measure chorale theme of the opening Prelude. Originally intended as an analytical study for students in the composer's Advanced Harmony course at Louisiana State University, the piece seemed to demand further development as each new harmonic device was introduced. Its frequent distant-key modulations and varied rhythmic excursions keep the simple melody alive and interesting throughout its six-and-a-half minute length. (6:30)
