Two Modal Episodes (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - O'Reilly, John

The first modal episode begins with a chant-like melody in G Aeolian mode (natural minor) that is reminiscent of early medieval music. The full brass section answers with simple block chords that accentuate the modal tonality. The Allegro that follows is set in B-flat Mixolydian mode (major scale with a flatted seventh). A dance-like melody dominates this episode and the percussion section is featured in a simple question-and-answer exchange.Duration: 2.30

Two Norwegian Folk Tunes (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Grieg, Edvard - Sparke, Philip

The melodies, harmonies, moods and rhythms of Norwegian folk songs and dance (even the sounds of Norwegian folk instruments) permeate the music of Edvard Grieg (1843-1907). After studying in Leipzig and Copenhagen he returned to Norway and a chance meeting with Norwegian nationalist Rikard Nordraak ignited his interest in folk music and laid the foundation for his compositional style. His most famous orchestral works are the Piano Concerto (1868) and the incidental music to Ibsen's play Peer Gynt (1875). He wrote many collections of folk music for piano and these two tunes come from his 25 Norwegian Folk Songs and Dances, Op.17.Duration: 2:10

Two Renaissance Sketches (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Stalter, Todd

Though entirely original, the melodies of Two Renaissance Sketches come alive with their modal harmonies and tasteful, dance-like percussion accompaniments which are typical of the period. A stately courtly dance and a lively jig give almost everyone in the band a chance to play the melody, and can be an excellent introduction to the sounds and style of Renaissance music.Duration: 2.30
