Mayan Sports Festival - James L. Hosay
This challenging and uniquely rewarding composition will be of special interest to the director who seeks "something different". The pre-Columbian Mayan civilization is in many ways a great mystery to modern scholars. Their amazingly advanced mastery of mathematics, geometry and astronomy was remarkable indeed. But one of the most interesting aspects of ancient Mayan culture was an event referred to as "The Ball Game." This is the mysterious and exotic setting for James L. Hosay's MAYAN SPORTS FESTIVAL (Fantasy Suite).The superbly colorful orchestration and dynamic percussion writing in this bold and inventive new work will excite the listener and free the imagination.

Pavana: constant rhythmicity culminating in an orchestral tutti. 4. Lullaby: dissonant harmonyabove an organ point in a filigree instrumentation. 5. Chaconne: color and virtuosity combined with a rigid pasacaglian theme. 6. Interlude: antithesis woodwind/brass and followed by a synthesis of the before. 7. Fugue: ensemble in a polyphonic texture. 8. Epilogue: final canto in a preponderating strong dynamic, where a constant euphony has to be pursued.

£57.50Grandmother Song
Grandmother Song is an introduction to the Mohican tradition of sung syllables, or what Native Americans call vocables. Combining them with traditional wood flute songs, composer Brent Michael Davids offers a fresh look at the sound of Native American songs. Band instruments are performed less as musical instruments and more as talking sticks, singing reeds, rustling winds and shooting thunder. Through this beautiful ballad, students are given the materials to understand how Native Americans celebrate the world around them through the blending of words and song. (Includes score and parts.)
