Deep River - Ted Parson

Deep River (Arr. Armitage) - Traditional

Deep River (Solo Voice) - Ted Parson

Deep River Rhapsody - Philip A. Parker

Deep Song - George Cory

Deep Winter's Night - Ed Kiefer

Beginning with percussion and dissonant chords, this setting of The First Noel quickly moves to a beautiful flute duet. With a freely adapted melody using rhythmic motives, tone clusters, and creative alterations of the main thematic material, this piece although holiday oriented will work well in many performance situations. Every section plays the melody at some point and with modern compositional styles mixed with traditional chorale will engage performers and audiences alike. A great choice for holiday and Christmas concerts.

Defender's Oath - Tyler Arcari

The legends of old tell of brave knights, sworn to protect and defend, who vanquished dragons and saved people from tyranny. This new work for developing band, inspired by a 15th century piece titled "Agincourt Carol", is a wonderful fantasy written by Tyler Arcari. From exciting tutti sections, accessible solo moments, courtly brass fanfares and lush woodwind choirs - Defender's Oath has something for everyone.

Defenders of the Wall - Gary P. Gilroy

An exhilarating tale of bold and heroic warriors from an ancient and imaginary world, sworn to defend their country against fearsome invaders from unimaginable far-off lands. The dramatic sounds are captivating as various musical scenes unfold in vivid fashion. A noble call to duty, ominous sounds of an approaching enemy, fierce battles and victorious celebration - all are present in this musical display of courage and duty!

Defiance - George Sweet

A calm opening sets the mood for the piece before it moves into an uptempo theme. The piece contains lots of different instrumental colors with interplay between brass, woodwinds, and percussion. All of this is developed into a return of the main theme followed by a coda. This is a perfect selection to showcase young bands in contest/festival performance.
