Awesome Sauce - Scott Watson

You're cool, likeable, and confident. You don't walk, you strut. When you enter a party, a hush falls over the room and heads turn because you have a certain "je ne sais quoi!" People say you're "the bee's knees" and "the cat's meow." You're Awesome Sauce and this piece is the soundtrack of your life! With its fun, blues-like melody and cool rock beat, Awesome Sauce by Scott Watson is sure to be a player favorite. The limited chromaticism, accessible jazz-esque rhythms, and style-important articulations offer excellent teaching moments for the director. (2:57) Awesome Sauce correlates to Book 1, Level 6 of Sound Innovations for Concert Band.

Axis - Naoya Wada

I composed Axis as a dedication to my friend Shinya Nakamitsu. He is a wonderful graphic designer who loves wind band music. Some years ago, I made a demo CD to hand out to a number of people. He oversaw the jacket design for that project and I composed this traditional march to thank him. Shinya Nakamitsu runs a design company called AXIS: hence the name of the composition.

Ayers Rock - Henk Hogestein

The famous monolith Ayers Rock (also called Uluru) is the only true attraction in the Northern Territory of Australia. This colossal red rock lies in the middle of a desert plain. At dusk, a beautiful spectacle develops as the setting sun envelops the rock in rose-red hues. There are tourists who climb the rock, while this is a taboo according to the indigenous religion of the Aboriginals. Besides, the climb is very strenuous. A walk around the rock is also an unforgettable experience.During a journey through Australia, Henk Hogestein was inspired by this rock; he composed this robust rock number to cherish the memory of it.
