PENTIUM (Concert Band) - Graham, Peter

Described by conductor Brian Duguid as "a short ride on a PC", Pentium displays some common traits with the minimalist techniques of John Adams. A five-note figure, first heard in the clarinets and saxophones after the opening swirl and flourish, provides the essential building block for the rondo-like movement. Pentium takes it's name from the "silicon glen" where computer chips are manufactured.

PERCUSSION MYSTIQUE (Concert Band) - Erickson, Frank

Mystique: "a complex of attitudes developing around an idea and a special skill, essential in an activity". The "attitude" in this composition is that of the excitement, as well as the subtleties of percussion playing. The "special skill" is apparent in the featured percussion parts themselves.

Perfect Trip (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Burns, Patrick J.

Perfect Trip derives its title from the horse racing term which refers to the flawless performance of a winning steed. It was written for the 20th anniversary concert of the Ridgewood Concert Band in New Jersey at the request of the band's founding director, Dr. C. Christian Wilhjelm. The piece itself lasts not much more than a typical one mile horse race and depicts the event from the observer's perspective: the initial burst of energy at the starting gate and the ensuing excitement approaching the first turn, the suspense as the race develops along the far stretch, and the increasing drama as the pack rounds the final turn and heads down the stretch for the big finish.
