£11.95Young Wizards (Concert Band - Score Only) - Fraser, Bruce
This three movement suite was inspired by the composer's reading of Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone. The work is based on a tone row taken from the musical letters contained within the title. "Black Pointed Hats" in D minor sets the scene, with the bass instruments playing an accented form of the tone row. Note clusters and chromatic movement help to create the mysterious sound palette for listeners to let their imagination run riot. The contrary motion in the upper woodwinds at the beginning of "Spells" gives a mesmerizing effect. The third movement, "Flying Broomsticks," evokes the image of young wizards flying around, using chromatic runs and various accented sections where the flying is not so smooth. Both themes used in this movement combine to form a grand flypast!

For we have seen his star in far-off eastern lands and we have come to worship Him."II. The Temple of Jerusalem: And look! The curtain secluding the Holiest Place in the Temple was split apart from top to bottom: and the earth shook and rocks broke, and tombs opened and many godly men and women who had died, come back to life again.III.

Children of a Different Sun - 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. (4:45)

Atlas Rising - Carl Strommen
In Atlas Rising, composer Carl Strommen derives inspiration from the statue of Titan Atlas lifting the universe on his shoulders. Unlike Sisyphus (of perpetual rolling stone fame) the monumental effort of Atlas was successful. This piece takes this idea and models it into an exceptional piece for contest/festival performance.
