Slavic Scherzo (Furiant) - Joseph Compello
Inspired by the Slavonic Dances of Czech master Antonin Dvork, Joseph Compello has written his own Furiant, a Bohemian dance, usually in triple meter with frequently shifting accents. This dazzling little original piece makes much of the contrast between 6/8 and 3/4. This variety of rhythmic pulse gives the piece tremendous energy and momentum. Slavic Scherzo is a selection that will energize the band and delight the audience in equal measure.

Wedding Dances - Daron Aric Hagen
A concert version of the dance music from the second act of the sensational opera for voices and wind ensemble by Daron Aric Hagen (see Overture above), this varied and colorful piece will be a brilliant addition to the program of a Grade for band. The music dramatically reflects the growing conflicts of the story (based on Othello) and climaxes with a powerful setting of the big tune associated with the idea of "crossing over" from Mexico to the U.S., and from Life to Death. This piece is a major addition to the serious band repertoire and has been added to the Texas UIL Prescribed Music List. Duration: 7'

£72.95Okefenokee - R. Alan Carter
Named Land of the Trembling Earth because the peat bog, which floats on water, moves when walked upon, the Okefenokee Swamp is a natural wonder. Starting mysteriously with a full-band sound, moving through a middle section with a flute or recorder solo that depicts the life of the early inhabitants, and ending with a spirited dance that features woodwind runs, brass countermelodies and thunderous timpani and bass drum parts, this unique composition offers performers the chance to perform a programmatic work that will challenge and entertain at the same time.

Down From The Shimmering Sky - James Curnow
A concert "centerpiece", this major work from James Curnow explores the spiritual perspectives of the First Nations of the Pacific Northwest in North America. The five movements investigate the "Cosmos" and its four "Worlds". With such complete contrasts as "The Undersea World" and the ceremonial dance in "The Mortal World", an authentic First Nations melody in "The Spirit World" and the ethos of "The Sky World", the wonders are many. Your performance of "Down From The Shimmering Sky" will be meaningful and memorable for musicians and audience alike. This is a landmark piece for concert band.
