Artisans (3. From Celestial Dancers) - Eric Ewazen

Ewazen seemingly takes inspiration from an endless array of sights, environments, and events. It would be impossible for him to be exposed to the wonder of Angkor Wat and to not distill his impressions into music. In fact, he created four distinct impressions for wind ensemble. Performance notes are included, which help to describe the settings and the thoughts behind them.

Artistry In Rhythm - Stan Kenton

Arts du Cirque - Bill Calhoun

Arts du Cirque takes the listener on an exotic musical journey through a day at the circus. You hear the lion tamers, the trapeze artist--you even hear the clowns. It is a tapestry of sounds and marvelously orchestrated colors, not a tongue-in-cheek presentation. This new work for band will fit nicely as a contrasting piece on a concert, contest, or festival program.

Arturo - Lorenzo Pusceddu

Arturo Masmano - Javier Gómez Masmano

Aruba Tuba - Timothy Loest

As a River Flows - Christina Huss

Composers Christina Huss and R. Alan Carter have collaborated to create a poignant ballad based on several folk songs about rivers. Flowing lyrical lines, beautiful harmonic choices drive this composition to a wonderful peak of all of the themes combined before settling into a pleasing conclusion.

As I Gaze From The High Mountain - Patrick J. Burns

Based on the 19th century Japanese folk song, "Takai-Yama." Lots of melodic and rhythmic vitality for young band. Excellent for multicultural programming.
