Decade - Jay Bocook

Open (or close) your next performance with this intensely rhythmical yet melodic work in 5/4. A dervish of woodwind lines sets the tone followed by a powerful brass statement that transitions into long melodic lines over rhythmical ostinatos. Non-stop motion and unexpected harmonic twists keep the energy flowing. A great showcase for your ensemble!

Decade - Wong Kah Chun

December - Robert Buckley

December was inspired by the holiday season in Canada. It reflects the sounds, the sights, and the moods of that magical time of year. December starts off joyfully with a playful theme of celebration. This leads into an icy, reverent, winter solstice theme. Then there is a further development of the original joyful theme and a jubilant build to the finish. December can be performed with or without the optional choir part. A wonderful addition to any holiday concert.

December Joy - Douglas E. Wagner

Arranged by Douglas E. Wagner, three well-known secular carol tunes are showcased in this big and brassy, bright and flashy seasonal extravaganza, especially suited as a concert opener. Beginning with a cascade of chimes, soaring woodwind runs, and bold brass lines, "Deck the Hall" and "Here We Come A-Caroling" are presented with dynamic flair, interspersed with brief fanfare-like episodes. The mood transitions to a jaunting sleigh ride across the winter landscape, partnering the second time through with "Jingle Bells," as the spirited celebration closes with a short coda, drawn from musical materials heard in the opening measures of the work. (2:55) This title is available in SmartMusic.

December Party - Ivo Kouwenhoven

December Revolutions

In this medley, the composer Willering arranged a series of traditional Christmas Carols in a quite original (somewhat revolutionary) way for wind band. You will, no doubt, recognize 'Venite Adoremus' and, of course, 'Holy Night, Silent Night'. Something new and original for your Christmas concert.

December Sky - Erik Morales

'On a crisp, cold night in December, she gazes upward and stands in awe of the heavens. She realizes that the earth is only a tiny part of something greater.' This scenario provides the backdrop for this composition, which wasinspired by the night sky as viewed by my six-year-old from our home in Louisiana. It begins with the theme in the clarinets. The rest of the ensemle gradually reveals itself, as if one discovers a star not previously noticed inthe sky. The music reaches its climax at measure 34, where we are humbled by the sheer multitude of stars in the sky and realize our place in the universe. The piece ends with twinkling stars portrayed in the flute, oboe,clarinet,and bells.
