Adventure Overture - Timothy Loest
This three-part overture is extremely easy to put together and is an ideal transition from beginning band literature. Special attention is given to low brass parts, insuring that they are not too difficult. A lush lyrical section provides for some more interesting harmonies, yet is very approachable by bands at all levels. Use this section to work on balance and musicality with your ensemble. A D.C. al Fine completes the framework of this piece.

Dies Irae - Elliot Del Borgo
This symphonic poem is based on a chant attributed to Jacopone da Todi (c. 1230 1306) and describes the day of wrath and impending doom, while asking for mercy and salvation. The opening, treated like a Gregorian chant, soon moves into a whirlwind of energy as a large battery of percussion adds to the bold statements in the brass and flourishes in the upper woodwinds. A substantial work for your next concert program.
