Variations On A Kitchen Sink - Don Gillis

This is a classic novelty selection that features a group of soloists playing actual kitchen utensils. A popular light concert selection with additional suggestions (such as having your soloists dressed as cooks) included in the score. An audience favorite for many years.

Symphonic Band (score & parts). Chance, Jb

Variations On A Legend - Robert E. Foster

Few concert band works boast the swagger and panache of this exhilarating composition! A dramatic fanfare moves into a rollicking 6/8 journey, with the flavor of a Celtic jig. After a slower more expressive section, there is a short fughetta, followed by the melody stated with increasing intensity to a vibrant finish.

Variations On A March Tune - Roland Barrett

This attractive work is full of rhythmic variety, as well as changes of orchestration and instrumentation. The catchy march melody is introduced by the clarinets and cornets, after which it goes through a series of creative transformations (or variations) in which the same musical ideas are presented in a variety of different musical formats and styles.

Variations On A Mighty Fortress - Darren W. Jenkins

A truly powerful setting that is worthy of this famous hymn that uses an impressive set of three variations. It opens with a slow, legato presentation of the melody stated by solo trumpet followed by the first lively variation, driven by a strong rhythmic accompaniment. The second variation features an alto saxophone solo that builds and alternates between woodwind and brass choirs before closing with a majestic fanfare and the full ensemble driving to a jubilant conclusion. Extremely uplifting!

Variations On A Revolutionary Hymn - Claude T. Smith

Commissioned and premiered in 1987 by the U.S. Army Field Band, this was Claude T. Smiths last completed work, written to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution. Based on the hymn tune Resignation (How Firm a Foundation), this is a mature work by the celebrated American bandmaster, displaying the technical capabilities of each section of the wind band. A bold concert statement and a fitting commentary on the founding fathers whose faith and determination launched the great American Experiment.
