"God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" features a canonic treatment of this holiday favorite, first in the flutes and clarinets and then the entire ensemble.

£70.50Children of a Different Sun - By Roland Barrett
Opening with a heroic fanfare, this stunning original composition was inspired by the 15th century Inca citadel Machu Picchu and specifically the Intihuatana stone in what is now southeastern Peru where sun worship was favored. Many historians have come to refer to the Inca Empire as "Children of the Sun." The work continues with an intense, almost frenzied, component that sets the stage for an active interplay of contrasting themes featuring a melodic statement interrupted by accented percussive statements. A pensive and lush moment builds with strong percussion contribution to a bold and satisfying conclusion. Skillfully arranged by Roland Barrett. (4:45)

£4.95Liberty Overture - Music by Steve Hodges
This work opens with an Andante section that features a haunting minor melody played by clarinets, a strong low brass bass line and assorted counterlines that offer interesting contrast. Cornets repeat the melody that leads to a rallentando pause; a fast-tempo variation emerges. This second upbeat section is in a new key and features the melody played by cornets, then by low brass and woodwinds, over syncopated tutti rhythmic figures. (Grade 1 1/2)

Carolina Tribute - By Steve Hodges
Two contrasting movements provide ample opportunity for each section to shine in this tasteful work by Steve Hodges. The sensitive first movement features optional solos by the saxophone and clarinet.
