Stonybrook Overture (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Bernotas, Chris M.

Beginning with a majestic statement, it moves into a legato melody with a lively percussion accompaniment. The melody makes its way around the ensemble with harmonised countermelodies. The piece concludes with a restatement of the festival fanfare and a bold ending. This is a terrific vehicle for students to work on phrasing and articulation.Duration: 2.30

Storia Eroica (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Waignein, Andre

This composition was commissioned by the "Municipal Brass Band of Luxembourg-Bonnevoie". It was premiered in presence of the Grand-Duke Heir Henri on January 24, 1998 with this orchestra, and with the composer as director. This work is a musical evocation describing this magnificent Luxembourgian region and her inhabitants. The overture evokes the serenity met in this region. An orchestrale development, as rhythmic as sound, propels the orchestra in a "military" atmosphere putting in evidence all the registers of the orchestra. This tension is maintained until the general explosion of the whole. One cantilena appears in all the innocence. Gradually, the orchestration suppresses, until the exhaustion. The passage which follows represents the tempestuous events which took place through ages. A spectacular cadence, by the clarinet or by the soprano saxophone, terminates this disorder. An ample and lyric theme reflects the generosity which always played an important role. Then, having found some of initial themes, work ends in an atmosphere of enjoyment, developed in rich and eclectic one variety which proves the sphere of influence of the sound colour at Andr Waignein.Duration: 14:00

Storia Montana (Concert Band - Score and Parts)

Storia Montana is an easy work which takes the audience on a scenic tour though the Austrian mountains. The journey begins on a dark drizzly morning, gradually reaching its musical climax with the final ascent to the summit. Creative special effects, conjuring up images of wind, rain, birds and cowbells, all help accentuate the realism of the work. 05:50

Stories and Dreams (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wiffin, Rob

Energetic, wide-ranging and stimulating in its musical ideas, Stories and Dreams is a work of considerable musical interest to both listener and performer. Comprising three movements: The March of the Smiling Soldier (3.30), Stories I could tell (4.15) and Hope (3.30), this suite is only moderate in technical difficulty but is full of musical interest. The first movement is a slightly tongue-in-cheek march, the second is lyrical and poignant taking its atmosphere from the enigma implicit in its title, and the finale vivacious and life-affirming.Duration: 11.15

Storm and Urge (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Fairlie, Edward

Edward Fairlie's Storm and Urge is a significant work for wind band and portrays a journey of emotional turbulence. The title comes from the German Sturm und Drang, a literary and musical movement of the late 1700s which focused on extremes of emotion. Opening with a simple and reflective theme, we are then taken through a range of emotional settings from uncertainty to resistance, and then calm resolve and self-knowledge. With a variety of textures and vivid imagery, this is a masterful work for the contemporary ensemble.Duration: 9:00

Storm Chaser (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Green, Christopher Kyle

The summer season in the southern United States rumbles with quick, intense and severe storms most afternoons. Flashes of lightning, clapping thunder and drenching rainfall are characteristics of the massive, anvil-shaped thunderhead clouds that roll in during the heat of the day. "Storm Chaser" is inspired by the intensity of the storms and the adrenaline that flows through the veins of those that experience the wrath of Mother Nature. Your students will love the musical and visual imagery of this dramatic work by Christopher Kyle Green! Duration: 2.15
