A Lafayette Portrait - Mike Hannickel

Modal harmonies evoke images of America as far back as the 1700's. The influence of the Native American tribes in the area is felt in this powerful overture. Rhythmic and contrapuntal action stake a claim to the audience's attention from the opening notes. This one is perfect for festival or concert. Commissioned for massed Middle School band concert, it works great with groups large or small. Cross-curricular potential with History.Bold and decisive!

A Land Remembered - Larry Clark

A Land Remembered is based on the novel of the same name by Patrick D. Smith, which tells the story of pioneering families in the early days of Florida. The piece is set in three continuous movements, each depicting elements of the story, from the open fanfare, "A New Life in a New Land" to the beautiful "On the Prairie" and the strident final movement, "Hardships on the Rugged Frontier." This piece will demonstrate the skill and musicality of your concert-level band.

A Lasting Legacy - Gary P. Gilroy

A short and powerful percussion statement sets up a celebratory fanfare to open this vibrant salute to the career of an outstanding band director. Following the opening display is a stately ceremonial march-like section that recognizes that it is the teacher that is "graduating" this time. The reverent atmosphere continues with a more solemn and respectful mood before the opening returns for a grand finale and a brilliant display of musical fireworks.

A Legacy in Sound

Timeless is the word to describe the melodies of Leroy Anderson! Robert W. Smith takes Syncopated Clock, Blue Tango, and Bugler's Holiday, and fashions a most playable musical salute. (4:00)
