A Million Suns at Midnight - Steven Bryant

Though somewhat dark and dramatic in character, A Million Suns at Midnight is ultimately a hopeful, optimistic work, evoking the struggles of humanity to grow, achieve, and evolve, finally overcoming our fear (and its most common manifestation: violence) to transcend our physical and mental boundaries. Individuals now possess an unprecedented technological capability for both creation and destruction, and we must ensure that the million suns at midnight are not those of fiery destruction, but of bright hope. A Million Suns at Midnight is an appropriate and dramatic concert closer, and is constructed so as to require minimal rehearsal time with the full ensemble, allowing each section to work on their parts separately and assemble the whole quickly and confidently. NOTE: This work is available as a rental item directly from the composer. For details, e-mail [email protected]. The score is also available separately for purchase from Hal Leonard.

A Mis Abuelos - Arturo Sandoval

A Moment in Time - James Curnow

Inspired by the poetry of Henry David Thoreau and Japanese poet Matsuo Basho, this symphonic poem in three movements for winds brings Eastern and Western cultures together, meeting on the common thread of Thoreau's and Matsuo's love of nature. Eastern and Western musical elements are layered throughout, making for a unique effect.

A Monmouth Overture - Philip Sparke

A Monmouth Overture was composed in 2007 for the Haberdashers' Symphonic Winds, as part of Philip Sparke's year as composer-in-residence at the Monmouth school. The work is based around the 15th century Agincourt Song, written inhonor of Henry V's victory over the larger but outdated French army. Henry V was born in Monmouth in 1387, giving this wonderful overture its historical title. Bring a piece of history with a modern twist to your concert program.Dur: 4:30
