METAL! (Intermediate Concert Band) - O'Loughlin, Sean

Metalla Wind Band Set (Score & Parts)

Metalla was commissioned by the 'Kreisverband Altenkirchen' of Germany and dedicated to Ottomar Jung. The composer himself conducted the premiere of the piece, which was performed by the 'Jugendorchester Kreisverband Altenkirchen' on 25 March 1999.The region of Altenkirchen is known for its iron mines, which find musical expression in the dark mood of the introduction (andante misterioso). This effect is accomplished with overlapping seventh intervals, orchestral crescendos, a succession of broad chords and the presentation of most themes in the middle register of the band.The dynamic section (allegro energico) that follows the introduction is characterized by concise figures in the brass and a second motif, a kind of rippling motion depicting the Sieg River, an important element in the landscape of the Altenkirchen region.The work closes with a final theme that returns a number of times, albeit in different guises. After a brief repeat of the seventh intervals from the beginning, a last radiant chord signals the end of the piece. 0:05:15

METAMARCH (Concert Band) - Bryant, Steven

In this third installment of a series of pieces that quote and rework familiar band themes (after Chester Leaps In and ImPercynations), composer Steven Bryant uses the classic march themes Americans We, Liberty Bell March and National Emblem as the basis of this humorous and unexpected take on the traditional march. Slightly warped, but unmistakably entertaining, this well-constructed novelty is sure to bring a smile. Duration: 4:00

Metamorphoses (Novello Symphonic Band) Extra Score - Gregson, Edward

Extra Score only. The title of the work refers to the process of constant change that occurs in the music. The opening four note motif provides most of the intervallic and harmonic material. The work is in three main sections, the first of which alternates between pulsed and non-pulsed (or free) music; the second is a slow section with solos for flute and clarinet enhanced by electronic means, whilst the third is high-charged rhythmic music which resolves the symphonic argument.
