Beyond the Shores of Avalon - J. Bell

"Beyond the Shores of Avalon" takes the listener on a musical journey to the island sanctuary hidden in the mist, said to be the resting place of King Arthur. According to legend, Avalon was a utopian paradise, home to many powerful enchantresses, including Arthur's sister Morgan le Fay. "Beyond the Shores of Avalon" is a wonderful work for teaching blend and dynamic balance within the ensemble, while also giving the low brass and woodwinds the opportunity to stand out with the melody. Enchanting music!

Beyond the Stars - James Curnow

Based on the traditional American shaped-note melody The Promised Land (first published in the 1800s), Beyond the Stars captures the spirit of the early American church musicians who voiced their enthusiasm for life and thefreedom of worship through both vocal and instrumental music. The music features several mini-variations wrapped up in four large variations (Fast, Fast, Slow, Fast-recapitulation). The composer has created new thematic materialfor each variation by excerpting motifs from three separate phrases of the original shaped-note melody. A stunning and powerful work for winds. Dur: c. 6:20

Beyond the Summit - Brian Balmages

Beyond the Summit - Gary P. Gilroy

Stunning in its energy, theres never a dull moment in this engaging work! This fiery concert opener is full of color and sparkle. Brass and woodwind thematic phrases are punctuated by the exciting percussion. Occasional three-four measures withinthe four-four context heighten the intensity while being easy to feel and play.

Beyond the Summit - Jared Barnes

Brimming with energy and anticipation, this musical adventure stirs up images of nature's most majestic landscapes and mountain ranges. The journey begins with a majestic call and response theme divided amongst the sections, chasing after one another. Lighter versions of the themes appear, signifying the discovery of a breathtaking view at the summit. The intensity and excitement builds, hinting that the adventure continues - or perhaps begins, "Beyond the Summit."

Bi-Centennial - D. Reeves

Bi-Millennial Celebration - Jan Bosveld

'Bi-Millennial Celebration' has been composed to honour the 2000th anniversary of the founding of the city of Nijmegen. This work consists of three continuous movements. The first movement depicts the arrival of the Romans and the founding of Nijmegen. The second movement portrays the rustic and idyllic countryside surrounding the city. A musical celebration from these areas to the city of Nijmegen comes to life in the third movement. In this festive march one can easily distinguish the traditional Dutch anniversarysong 'Lang zal ze leven'.
