Vieux Nol - Frank

View of the World, A - Brian Balmages

This substantive single-movement work explores a view of the world through the eyes of a child. Captions appear in both the score and parts to indicate each emotional episode as this extensive and powerful work unfolds through many transformations in texture and style. Skillfully conceived and written for the mature band, this is an excellent festival choice.

Vigor - Sean O'Loughlin

Full of spirit and life, this expansive work features marvelous dialogue among the sections of the band. Somewhat Coplandesque in style, it has vigorous percussion parts that add lots of punch! This is an especially effective concert opener!

Viking Saga - Ray Farr

"Viking Saga" was inspired by my conducting engagements in Norway in the 1980s. Among them was a visit to the Flekkefjord Pike Korps who asked me to write a piece for them. I had just written "Adventures in Brass" which was very popular, particularly with younger bands, so I decided to pursue the creative energy. My teacher, at that time, was Professor Edward Gregson who encouraged me to develop my ideas into a full-scale work. The piece received a few performances in this version but neither I, nor my teacher, were satisfied so the manuscripts lay dormant. In the summer of 2002 a band from Switzerland- Cordula Brass Baden and Christoph Moor, who had played the piece under mydirection in the Swiss National Youth Band, commissioned me to finish the work and make the changes that, I felt, were needed. In 2016 the Tnsberg Wind Band, from Norway, commissioned a wind band version for their performance in the Norwegian Championships held in Trondheim 2017.
