Hannibal in the Alps - Joseph Compello
This strong and ponderous piece is a musical depiction of Hannibal's epic journey through the Alps with his army of war elephants. As such, the piece serves as a great vehicle to inspire the imaginations of the very youngest of band musicians and helps them play with a maturity beyond their years. Students will enjoy bringing this elephantine cast of characters alive through their instruments.

The Virtuous and the Brave - Mike Hannickel
Here is an uplifting cut-time concert march that grows relentlessly from the simplest of themes to a contrapuntal gem. A tribute to the Allied veterans of World War II, THE VIRTUOUS AND THE BRAVE is an excellent program choice. Bold and melodic, it's perfect for concert, festival or contest use, and in the U.S., if you perform a concert around Veteran's Day, Memorial Day, or the Fourth of July you've GOT to have it.

The Road to Chancellorsville - Bryan Kidd
This is one to get excited about! In the style of a "patrol" march, THE ROAD TO CHANCELLORSVILLE takes us back to that pivotal point in history, the American Civil War. The Battle of Chancellorsville is regarded as Confederate General Robert E. Lee's most brilliant victory, but the cost was so high that the Secessionist forces never really recovered. They were forced to surrender less than two years later.Opening with light percussion and just two piccolos (substitute two flutes if necessary) this bright and easy march builds relentlessly from beginning to end. March into history with THE ROAD TO CHANCELLORSVILLE.

Of Courage And Patriotism - James Curnow
This is descriptive composition at its finest! The music tells the story of the battle at Fort Meigs, Ohio during the War of 1812. The listener is taken from the calm sunrise, through the intensity and tulmultuous events of that fateful day. The quiet of the early dawn hours, the distant trumpet calls and sounds of thundering canons bring history to life through riveting music! Highly recommended!

Revolutionary Anthem - Douglas Court
William Billings' beloved song Chester, the adopted theme of the Continental Army during America's war for independence, forms the musical core of this fine work for young bands. Great for concert or contest, this adaptation is short and sweet, but does not skimp on style or emotional impact.

Credentium - Jan van der Roost
A spectacular dive via an extended chromatic scale immediately submerges us in a charged and somewhat archaic-feeling atmosphere. Trumpets, horns and trombones resound in rhythmic patterns, buttressed by restless motifs in the percussion. A second theme, in the woodwinds, begins much calmer but is quickly pushed aside by that same brass offensive. This introduction is the musical expression of the sometimes tumultuous early history of the town of Peer in Belgium. It closes with a D scale played over two octaves and repeated three times, symbolizing the church steeples that dominate the townscape. Peer has the credentials of a town, and people should know about it.There followsa rhythmic, turbulent passage: in the course of history, Peer has not been spared the ravages of war, arson, occupation, epidemic and other evils. In contrast, a slow, pastoral, lyrical part expresses the periods of peace and prosperity the town has known, as well as the serene geographic setting that still characterizes the place. Various instruments in groups are developed in solo style while the accompaniment displays vast, painterly images of sound. Now and then an exotic intonation is heard: a variety of peoples and cultures have left their mark on the town.This episode of tranquility and peacefulness comes to a sudden end when, via a surprising, almost chaotic transitional passage, we are in effect transported back to our own time. A hopeful, festive march expresses the confidence in the future that the Royal Concert Band of Peer exudes. This confidence is wholly justified: under the direction of conductor Willy Fransen, the 95 members of the concert band have experienced an extended period of good fortune, and the 75 musicians of the youth band - and the 45 little musicians of the mini-band - are involved in thriving operations.

Bundeslied - Jacob de Haan
The melody of Bundeslied originates from Mozart's' Frimaurerkantate (KV62) from 1791. However research has shown evidence that it was probably composed by Johann Holzer, a freemason brother of his, but there is no definite evidence for this. Following the Second World War this melody was used as the basis for the new Austrian national anthem. Micheal Bilkes has adapted this beautiful, stately hymn for concert band. The result is a captivating work for both performers and audience.

Based on original material from the 1800s, the piece is scored to include field drums, a 21 cannon volley, and a sensitive brass treatment of Taps featuring solo horn.

Lest We Forget - Elliot Del Borgo
This extensive work is powerful and emotionally riveting. Slight variations of Civil War songs are recognizable while providing new material to keep the performer and listener engaged in the music. The piece changes style and tempo several times, ending with a very sensitive underscoring as a narrator recites Lincoln's second inaugural address before a heroic ending.
