From Ancient Times (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan

From Ancient Times is a major work for brass band, inspired largely by the music of the Franco-Flemish School of the Renaissance. Hints of Gregorian chant and middle age dances pay tribute to music from even earlier times. The foundation of this spectacular work rests on truly 'ancient times' while the tonal language is of a much more modern nature!Duration: 18:30

From Crystals and Eagles (Concert Band - Score and Parts)

The title of this work alludes to the flight of the eagle. In the course of a short flight, the composer was able to get a birds-eye view of the landscape in which the sun's rays, glistening on the snow and ice, transformed the scenery into crystal. This unforgettable image of the breathtaking beauty of the mountains is captured in musical form in From Crystals and Eagles. 05:10

From Gold (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hazo, Samuel R.

Glistening chords, soaring melodies, broad fanfares and gorgeous chorales will fill your concert hall with this evocative work. Best of all, From Gold sounds much harder than it actually is. Mr. Hazo's background as a music educator is evident in how quickly directors and students will get to the music making. Written entirely in B-flat with few accidentals, the runs are split between instruments for playability, and parts are doubled/cued to build confidence. Young bands will sound mature, and mature bands will be breathtaking.Duration: 4:30

From Heartland to Heaven

Commissioned to honor a beloved teacher who had passed away, this eloquent piece both begins and ends with warm and moving chorale sections. The contrasting allegro con brio theme is full of energy and vitality. While this piece is not very difficult, it features close contemporary harmonies and it provides ample opportunities for expressive playing especially in the woodwinds. Includes lots of tasteful percussion parts to keep your drummers involved. A wonderful composition that will pay big musical dividends and it is a wonderful choice for contest or concert performances. VERY VERY NICE!
