SECOND CONCERTO FOR FACULTY AND BAND (Concert Band Series) - Ployhar, James D.

Four or more faculty members step into the spotlight as percussion soloists, and they play (at least most of the time) with your concert band. Little musical talent is necessary for the soloists, just a jumbo-sized sense of humour. Create a true "light spot" in your next concert.

Second Essay (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Barber, Samuel - Schneider, George R.

Composed in 1942, Barber's Second Essay is a masterwork of concentrated musical drama, with a richness of texture comprised of highly charged and succinctly organised musical modules. The opening theme has a definite American flavor, which is followed by a fugal section that evolves from simple tonal patterns to polytonality. After an intensely rhythmic third section, all elements are combined in a huge climax and coda that round off the work. Expertly transcribed for symphonic band by Dr. George Schneider, this is certain to find its place in the standard repertoire for mature ensembles. Duration: 11:00 (Grade 5)

SECOND SUITE IN F (Young Edition) - Holst, Gustav - Longfield, Robert

Along with his First Suite in E-flat, Holst's Second Suite is among the most treasured landmark works for band. In this adaptation, Robert Longfield has adjusted the extreme ranges, used the instrumentation of the contemporary young concert band, and added liberal cues (particularly for oboe, bassoon, and horn). However, the integrity of the original (form, keys, harmony, etc.) is completely intact. An absolute must for young bands. Includes a full performance CD. Dur: 11:00

Second Symphony (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Barnes, James

Premiered by the University of Kansas Symphonic Band with Robert E. Foster conducting, this work was presented the 1982 Neil A. Kjos Memorial Award for the most significant contribution to wind band music. It consists of three movements: an "Elegia" in sonata form, "Variazioni Interrotte" (Interrupted Variations), and a "Finale" in classic sonata form concluding in a coda which ends the symphony in a final, dramatic, colorful outburst, the sort of pure musical energy that only a modern symphonic band can produce. Movements: I. Elegia, II. Variazioni Interrotte, III. Finale. Duration: 22.00

Second to None (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sparke, Philip

Second to None is a perfectly suitable title for this work, though it actually refers to "Nulli Secundus", the motto of the British Corps of Army Music, who gave the commission to Philip Sparke. The piece opens with a fanfare, followed by two short quotes from two of the Corp's own marches and a festive Vivace. A more legato central section creates a nice contrast before the work closes with the opening fanfare. A perfect affair!Duration: 6:45

Seconds Out (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hazo, Samuel R.

In boxing, the term seconds out refers to the moment when coaches and trainers (or seconds) must be out of the ring, leaving the competitors alone to face the competition. In a similar vein, this composition provides a musical description of the challenges and triumphs of students as they transition from middle to high school, leaving their seconds (parents, mentors, etc.) behind to face life on their own terms. Featuring a strong sense of urgency throughout, Seconds Out is solidly written for inexperienced ensembles with plenty of tutti scoring, and interspersed with sections of contrasting dynamics and effective percussion writing.Duration: 3:50

Secret Agent Man (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Vinson, Johnnie

Some television themes never seem to lose their appeal. This favourite "spy" theme from the '60s was also a hit single by Johnny Rivers. Guaranteed fun
