The Twelve Days of Christmas
Treat yourself to a brilliant and dynamic holiday concert opener that treats the popular carol to a series of variations full of clever scoring and a wide variety of harmonic colors and textures. The percussion writing is especially apt and the use of syncopation and brass mutes help keep the variations on the tune fresh and entertaining. There are passing references to other Christmas tunes that your audience and performers will have fun identifying. Duration: 3'

Imani - Sean O'Loughlin
Imani, which means faith, is the seventh day of Kwanzaa, the African and African-American celebration of family and culture. This challenging and colorful piece rises from its quiet chant-like opening (involving part of the band singing the "Imani" tune) to a sonorous major climax at measure 51. The faster section that follows makes brilliant use of an enlarged percussion section that includes a number of ethnic instruments (Log drums, Congas, Claves, et. al.) This is a terrific multicultural selection that will have many uses for holiday programs and contest performances. Duration: 6'

Captive - Ed Kiefer
Captive is a sophisticated new piece that employs some modern compositional techniques to emulate the sound of electronic instruments with acoustic instruments. You would swear there is a synthesizer being played. The piece is based on the popular carol O Come, O Come Emmanuel, but it is not a holiday piece. This is a totally new composition for contest and festival performance that is different and refreshing and builds to an effective climax that impresses audiences.

Spirits Bright - Gregory B. Rudgers
Spirits Bright was inspired by the idea that the holiday season, while a time of joy and peace, may also be a time of reflection on and acknowledgement of the year's passing. The work is an expression of the nostalgia and wistfulness we experience during the holidays, a time when we remember friends and family, both present and past. Spirits Bright evokes the bittersweet warmth of a fire in the fireplace, chestnuts roasting, snow falling gently, and jingle bells.
