£83.50Amid the Great Displace - C. McBride
Commemorating a landmark event in history, Cory McBride sets out to replicate the awe of the New Madrid Earthquake of February 12, 1812, which affected over 1 million square miles and was powerful enough to change the route of the Mississippi River. Featuring an insistent motive that is supported by intertwined counterpoints, the vigilant beginning leads to a chorale-like middle section, expressing the dismay after the quake, which is soon followed up by an emotionally ending. The piece contains challenges for every instrument and is well-suited for more experienced groups. Amid the Great Displace is a fantastic choice for concert or contest and will be inspiring programming for your students and audiences.

£74.99Eureka! - David Shaffer
The California Gold Rush began on January 24, 1848, when gold was discovered by James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill, in Coloma, California.

Appropriate for festival, contest, and concert programs, this composition will make a rousing closer to any program.

Kodama - Bell
Experience the beauty of the Japanese countryside in this lyrical work depicting the forest spirits called Kodama. Shintoism believes that everything from pebbles, animals, and plants, to forces of nature like the wind or a river contains a distinct spiritual essence or kami. It teaches a respect and reverence for everything in the natural world. Kodama captures this essence, making heavy of use of pentatonic scales associated with Japanese folk music and emulating the style that makes it so unique. A beautiful and picturesque work!

In the last section, picture the majestic eagle soaring from the treetops as he makes his way out of sight. You, your students, and audience will enjoy the "Solitude" of this work.

Time - Patrick J. Burns
All the drama, excitement and color that we expect from this gifted composer predicated on non-harmonic passing tones. This advancing-changing-evolving piece recalls a quote from Marcus Aurelius: "Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current." Stunning!
