Sacred Harp (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Bocook, Jay

Jay's impressive three-movement suite is based on melodies from the early American "Sacred Harp" singing tradition is a masterwork of dramatic orchestrational devices. "Stratfield" opens with a striking statement by the saxes and double reeds, then builds intensity using woodwind flourishes and soaring brass lines. "Idumea" begins in a quiet and delicate manner then gives way to thundering percussion and striking harmonic effects. The joyous "Pisgah" has a barn dance quality that provides the perfect conclusion to this powerful work for winds.Duration: 8:00

Sad Samba (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Ukkonen, Per-Olof

Sad Samba is a happy samba in a minor key. Starts soft, builds up and ends kind of softly. There is a solo section (ad lib.) for any instrument. If possible, feel free to use a soft instrument such as flute, alto flute, euphonium etc. Finally, you don't need all the percussion. You'll come a long way with just triangle and drum set. Duration: 4.30
