Minecraft, Suite from Volume Alpha (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Rosenfeld, Daniel - Ford, Ralph

Minecraft has won numerous awards and sold over 54 million copies across all technology platforms. Originally developed as a sandbox game that allows the player(s) to construct objects, cities, worlds, etc. out of textured cubes in a 3D world, there are four distinct modes. Its brilliance lies in the fact that players have no specific goals and are free to choose how to play the game. This medley was compiled from selected music released with the Alpha version of the game including:Minecraft (Main Theme)Mice on VenusSwedenSubwoofer LullabyWet HandsHaggstromDuration: 7.00

Minerva (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan

Minerva by Jan Van der Roost was composed on the commission of the German "Musikverein Braunshausen" on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the orchestra. The composition, first performed on September 17, 1999, is not a street march but a concert march, just like Mercury and Arsenal. The use and variation of different rhythmic patterns gives the first part of this march a distinctly dynamic character. Two main themes are presented in several instrumental combinations. The theme from the trio, on the other hand, is characterized by a broad melodic approach using large intervals. This theme, wreathed by high woodwinds, is heard one more time after a contrasting new part, but now in a somewhat slower tempo. The counterpoint in this part refers to the first part of the march. The brilliant ending suits a festive anniversary march!Duration: 4:00

Miniature (6x6) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Pirola, Carlo

Duration: 5.00

Minimalist Dances

This unique work for advanced ensembles explores three fundamental minimalist approaches, but through the lens of very atypical styles to the minimalist genre. Influenced by the masterworks of Glass, Riley, and Adams, the composer uses a limited melodic/rhythmic palette to maximum effect, even including a rock-inspired shout section leading to a furious conclusion.

Minimundus (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Doss, Thomas

Thomas Doss composed this suite against the backdrop of his experience with young conductors and youth orchestras. Each of the four parts contains a different "soundscape", in which each of us is free to let our imaginations run wild. An Overture, heralding a celebration, a magnificent Pastorale at dusk, the Lament that seems descended from heaven, and finally a colourful, fiery Danza - ideal for young orchestras and conductors with plenty of imagination.Duration: 7:00

Ministry of Winds (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - De Haan, Jacob

Ministry of Winds provides some interesting food for thought that Jacob de Haan translates into music. What if there was a Ministry of Winds? It would be in charge of the advancement and dissemination of music throughout the nation, as well as strengthening the state through music and providing its citizens with entertainment, support, comfort and joy. All these aspects are mirrored in Jacob de Haan's composition, culminating in all the joy and happiness the creation of this ministry has provided to the people.Duration: 8:30
