£104.50A Golden Legacy - Scott Watson
The music of A Golden Legacy reflects both the joy and reverence many of us feel in our role as transmitters of the band tradition. The legacy in the title refers to the long-lasting impact directors have on students lives. This piece alternates between two themes - the first is a majestic fanfare that develops into a purposeful and resolute march; the second theme is a reverent hymnlike chorale that undergoes several variations, with the last one erupting into a festive musical celebration for an exuberant finish.

A celebration of those who deserve great honor! The triumphant opening is brilliantly stated by the trumpets and answered by a flourish of shimmering woodwinds. Brass and percussion build up to a contrasting theme and a slower section of warm, resonant harmonies and shifting, contrasting textures. Grand and majestic, the opening material then returns to close with the two main themes layered for a decidedly heroic and triumphant finish.

Imani - Sean O'Loughlin
Imani, which means faith, is the seventh day of Kwanzaa, the African and African-American celebration of family and culture. This challenging and colorful piece rises from its quiet chant-like opening (involving part of the band singing the "Imani" tune) to a sonorous major climax at measure 51. The faster section that follows makes brilliant use of an enlarged percussion section that includes a number of ethnic instruments (Log drums, Congas, Claves, et. al.) This is a terrific multicultural selection that will have many uses for holiday programs and contest performances. Duration: 6'
