Nuclear Power (Concert Band - Score and Parts)

It can be neither seen nor heard, but it is forever present and can make us ill or even kill us: the reality of atomic radiation. The most devastating recent nuclear catastrophes have doubtless been those in Chernobyl (1986) and Fukushima (2011). The composer expresses through a musical message that putting faith in the safety of nuclear energy may be mankind's most fatal error. 08:57

Nurture (Windependence Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Fairlie, Edward

There are some people for whom the act of nurturing is innate. The work they do is often unheralded, acknowledgement of their effort the last thing on their mind. But nurturers carry pain, too. Their own burdens, anxieties and hardships often take a back seat to that nurturing impulse. This piece is a meditation on that idea; that some people, not without their own deep personal obstacles, can't help but live out the powerful instinct to hold those around them in a warm embrace of care. ~ Edward Fairlie Duration: 4:50

O All Ye Works of the Lord (from The Gift of Life) (Concert Band with Optional Choir - Score and Parts) - Rutter, John - Noble, Paul

The Gift of Life was written early in 2015 as a commission to honour a retiring Minister of Music at a church in Dallas, Texas. In planning this piece, John Rutter has stated: In 1985 I had written a Requiem - which, like any Requiem, inevitably reflects on death - why not write the opposite, a work celebrating life? Unlike a Requiem, where a set form of words is laid down in Catholic liturgy, no framework exists for a celebration of life, and I had to choose (and in three cases, write) texts which were appropriate to a theme rarely expressed in music since Haydn's wondrous oratorio The Creation in 1798. The six movements reflect different facets of the miracles of creation and of life. This arrangement is written for combined Concert Band and Chorus, but may be performed by Concert Band alone.
