Voyage Through the Night (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Akey, Douglas

Commissioned by the Indiana Bandmasters Association, this descriptive work is built around two contrasting themes. The first is a haunting slow melody which reoccurs later in a more developed and expanded form. The fast section uses a strong theme with a creative harmonic structure along with occasional mixed meters. With Doug's skillful orchestration and colorful percussion writing this piece is an excellent choice for festivals or contests.

Voyage to the Edge of the World

The voyages of the great explorers Columbus, Magellan, Cabot, and Verrazano are portrayed in "Voyage to the Edge of the World." A bold introduction leads to lyrical, yet driving themes, which depict the tension and uncertainty of the voyagers. A subtle, lyrical theme, which portrays the wonders of the new world, provides a expressive showcase for your ensemble. A powerful restatement of the opening theme leads to an intense and dramatic ending, which will thrill your audience and band alike.

VOYAGES ON A ROWING SONG (Easy Concert Band) - Himes, William

The well-known spiritual Michael, Row the Boat Ashore is the melodic inspiration for Voyages on a Rowing Song, a brilliantly crafted theme and variations selection. Following a dreamlike introduction and presentation of the theme, three variations follow: a rollicking hoe-down , a contemplative chorale, and a commanding march. Each variation focuses on a different motif from Michael, Row the Boat Ashore, with compelling recapitulation of the original theme occurring during the conclusion of the march variation.

Vranjanka (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hesketh, Kenneth

Vranjanka (pronounced VRAHN-yahn-kah) means "From Vranje," a town in southern Serbia. It is loosely based on the traditional folksong ano Duo. The melody is extant in two versions, one in 7/8 and one in 3/4. The musical form of the piece starts with a fairly slow introductory section, a faster second section cast in a set of variations on the folksong. Vranjanka was commissioned by Timothy and Hilary Reynish in memory of their son William. Duration: 9.00

Vulcan (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Daugherty, Michael

Vulcan for Concert Band is Grammy award winning composer Michael Daugherty's first work for the high school and intermediate level college band. The work is a colorful homage to Gene Roddenberry's interstellar universe as depicted in the classic American television series Star Trek (1966-69). The title refers to the fiery planet Vulcan, home world of half-human, half-Vulcan Mr. Spock. As the rational-minded science officer aboard the starship Enterprise (commanded by the hot-blooded Captain James T. Kirk), Mr. Spock grapples with the "fascinating" predicament of making decisions predicated on human emotion versus Vulcan logic. Daugherty has composed stirring, yet highly structured music that alludes to the Vulcan "Pon Farr" ritual, Vulcan telepathic mind-melds, and the volcanic planet itself. At the the Ann Arbor, Michigan world premiere (utilizing the combined forces of the Pioneer, Huron and Skyline High School bands), Vulcan was an immediate hit and will surely become one of Daugherty's most performed works.
