The Cyclops - Joseph Compello

For first-year band students, this work is based on the beastly, one-eyed mythological giant. Frightful and exciting, this composition allows ensembles to learn marcato articulation, accents, tempo control and balance between sections. Use this to develop interdisciplinary lessons studying Greek mythology. Your young musicians will look forward to playing this in concert.

The Dance - Robert W. Smith

Inspired by the paintings of impressionist Henri Matisse and featuring the alto saxophone, "The Dance" is the first movement of "Three Conversations With Matisse." Along with the well known Matisse painting of the same name, this unique musical statement can be described as forbidding, menacing, tribal and ritualistic. Written for the accomplished saxophone soloist, the band accompaniment is well within the technical range of most high school, university and community ensembles. A powerful and welcome addition to the saxophone and concert band repertoire!

The Dancing Snowman

The Dancing Sombrero - Nicholas Duron

The Danserye - Tielman Susato

For this collection of instrumental dances, the composer, musician and publisher Tielman Susato (ca. 1510-1570) focused on well-known folk melodies of his time. In 1551, the album was published by his own Antwerp company, bearing the title 'Het derde musyck boexken'. Manu Mellaerts has already made numerous transcriptions of renaissance works for concert band and this time he sought to create a suite of five dances, based on Susato's collection. A good challenge for those who would like to try something different!
