Contraption - Brendan McBrien

Contraption is a tone poem describing an imaginary machine of great size and power. The word contraption is defined as a device or machine regarded as strange, incomprehensible, or makeshift. This concept has been applied to the construction of this musical composition. The creation of this piece was accomplished in the same way an inventor might build a physical contraption, in this case limited to three main component parts plus an interlude. A very unique and appealing piece! (3:40) This title is available in SmartMusic.

Contrasto Grosso - Jacob de Haan

This three-part suite is rich in dances and full of contrasting styles and dynamics. The title of the work is a pun on the term 'concerto grosso', a piece in parts for a group of solo instruments and orchestra. In Contrasto Grosso small groups in the band perform as soloists, interpreting contrasting renaissance style fragments.
