Powerful and exciting, this is cutting-edge writing that will be a striking addition to any concert performance. A flashover is the simultaneous ignition of all combustible objects in an enclosed area- the most well known type being the backdraft. With multiple meter changes, the strong scoring and supportive percussion create an incendiary and explosive element of musical turbulence that burns brightly from start to finish.

£82.50Prairie Dance - Gary D. Ziek
Prairie Dance was composed for the Emporia State University High School Honors Band in Emporia, KS. The piece begins with an introduction, which is notated to be played "With Spirit". This leads to the body of the piece, which utilizes an ABA form. The A sections are fast and joyful in nature, with the B section being more reflective and wistful. The vastness, beauty and loneliness of the open prairie are portrayed as the piece unfolds.

£54.99Soaring Eagles - Daniel Jones
Soaring Eagles was composed for the inaugural fifth and sixth grade band at Woodside Middle School in the Saydel Community School District in Des Moines Iowa. For an ensemble that needs the stability of mostly unison rhythms and simple subdivisions, this is perfect. It serves as an exciting concert opener, designed for students who need to solidify basic rhythms before encountering the complexities of eighth notes and dotted rhythms. Among the musical highlights are soli sections, dotted-half notes, dynamics and larger interval leaps for a decidedly mature and accomplished effect.

£82.50Dark Prophecy - Gary D. Ziek
Dark Prophecy begins in an intense, agitated manner that projects ominous portents of danger. It then transforms into an urgent dance, this time with the original melody played in a savage manner, before settling into a calm, more reflective mood. At this point, long soaring melodies take over, dominating throughout and leading to a moment of triumph at the conclusion of the section. This feeling is short-lived - the music takes a violent turn with the reappearance of the original thematic material. The piece then pushes to a fearsome conclusion that seems to pose the question, "Has the prophecy been fulfilled?"

£82.50Surf's Up! - Joseph Eidson
Inspired by surf rock bands of the 1960s, the musical characteristics of the style are all showcased here: a fast-paced driving rhythm combined with an agile melody and frequent use of blues scale elements. Steady rhythms in the winds and percussion imitate the chugging of a Fender Stratocaster guitar, while dynamics ebb and flow until an energetic coda delivers a tsunami of sound that fills the concert hall.
