In the Winter of 1730: A River's Journey

This dramatic composition, crafted into four continous movements, is a musical portrait that reflects nearly 300 years of Ohio history. Shawnee Village, 1730: represented by a haunting recorder solo (or flutes) accompanied by clarinets and a variety of percussion sounds. 1812 Era: Powerful drums introduce The Battle of Thames where Chief Tecumseh lost his life. Portsmouth, 1903: A Copland-like introduction is followed by a lively rendition of original folk music, bringing to life the city of Portsmouth, Ohio at the turn of the 20th century. The Beauty of the River (For All Time): A beautiful and expressive theme brings this work to a glorious and highly impressive finish. SUPERB!

In Times of Turbulence (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Smith, Robert W.

In Times of Turbluence is a dramatic and powerful concert work from the pen of prolific composer Robert W. Smith. Beginning with a soft and stately chorale, the mood quickly changes to sounds of turbulence in a contemporary setting for the developing band. Biting dissonance and powerful rhythmic percussion sustain the turbulent atmosphere as it develops throughout the ensemble in a minor mode. The percussion and winds exchange powerful musical statements leading to the final triumphant resolution in a major key. An excellent choice for concert or festival performance. Duration: 2.30

In Wartime (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Del Tredici, David

David Del Tredici's In Wartime - the first work for wind band by one of America's masters of orchestral music - matches its emotional depth with immediate musical appeal. The opening hymn laces fragments of Abide With Me with swirling counterpoint, while the following Battlemarch brings an ominous march-theme into a frenzied conflict with the Persian national song, Salamati, Shah! Daring, brilliantly orchestrated and absolutely unique, In Wartime is a landmark in the repertoire. Duration: 18:30

Incandescence (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Saucedo, Richard L.

Composed to give young players the opportunity to experience mixed meter in a controlled setting (in this case, 3/4 + 4/4), Incandescence uses an engaging and energetic rhythmic groove to make this big step fun and enjoyable. In addition to being a perfect vehicle for teaching and internalising a constant 8th- note subdivision, this piece will be exciting and rewarding to perform.Duration: 2:10

The first published work for band by John Barnes Chance, this landmark composition has remained an important part of the repertoire for more than 50 years.
