The Quest - Samuel R. Hazo

Symphonic Band (score & parts). Hazo, Sr

The Quest - William Himes

A major new piece for this level, The Quest is an uplifting thematic canvas that challenges and inspires. Dynamic power, endearing lyricism, divergent rhythmic interplay and bold unison statements all contrast to fashion a richand triumphant performance experience for your band. There is much to explore in this enticing new work. (Grade 2-1/2)

The Quest for Victory - Mark Lortz

An exuberant tribute piece that exhibits an unyielding energy and a vibrant spirit. After an impressive opening fanfare, the piece quickly transitions to a musically lyric section of contrasting repose. The energy returns with angular and strident brass and percussion statements over woodwind ostinatos. A soaring climax ensues as the opening fanfare returns for a spectacular finish.

The Quest for Victory - Wilco Moerman

The Quest for Victory sets to music the adventures of a superhero who is locked in an eternal struggle against the forces of evil. The piece begins with the statement of the superhero's theme. We then hear such emotions as jealousy, resentment and hatred, and witness a fierce battle but again and again--and with a happy ending--the majestic hero's theme sounds. As colourful and exciting as a comic book movie!

The Ragtime Dance - Scott Joplin

This delightful stop-time two-step dance was first published in 1902, and its appeal is as widespread today as it was then. A new sense of vibrancy and optimism is reflected in this early 20th century dance that features the wild "new" rhythms of ragtime which substantially changed the nature of dance. Lively and rhythmic, this work displays all the features that made the style so popular and shows the composer to be a true master of the genre, earning him the title "The King of Ragtime." Syncopated, bright, and energetic, it's an entertaining addition to concert programs. Members of the band become a part of the act by rhythmically stomping along with the music.

The Rains of Scarborough Fair - Randall D. Standridge

Scarborough Fair is simply one of the most beautiful and haunting melodies of all time, and this setting incorporates the favorite melody to captures the sounds and mood of a gray and rainy afternoon. The melancholy melody matches up perfectly with the the sounds of gently falling rain and the faint, distance rumbles of thunder. Rain and thunder sound effects, though not essential, can be added with recordings.
