Cloud Nine - Lauren Bernofsky
This spirited work, in 3/4, maintains a quick tempo throughout. The opening, rhythmic motif builds steadily before the full band states the main theme. A lightly scored middle section leads into a restatement of the beginning material. A wonderful piece to challenge your group, as Lauren makes use of some independent lines while staying well within the grade level.

Transformations (Dade Variations) - Robert Longfield
Quite possibly one of Robert Longfield's finest works for concert band, this theme and variations is based on a simple sequence of four notes. The set of six variations and a powerful finale provides the form in which Robert covers a wealth of styles, portraying the full gamut of musical textures and emotions. A fabulous piece to showcase your advanced ensemble in concert or at festival. Highly recommended!

Shadows in Time - Quincy C. Hilliard
An alto sax cadenza opens this lyrical work. The simple, yet beautiful theme is introduced by solo trumpet. As the piece develops, everyone has a chance to play the melody. A final cadenza by the flute brings the work to a soft conclusion. Quincy provides some excellent opportunities for your percussionists to use unique instruments. A great change of pace for your concert.

Blaze of Glory - Robert Sheldon
This outstanding overture begins with a declamatory statement in the woodwinds. The heroic melody subsides to a softer section which still retains the energy of the piece. A beautiful lyrical section places emphasis on musicality with plenty of opportunities for rubato. The return of the opening theme brings the work to a triumphant conclusion. Very characteristic of Robert Sheldon's exceptional writing for young bands.

Smithsonian Suite - Brian Balmages
This 4-movement multicultural suite provides a wealth of teaching and performance opportunities, especially at the beginning level. Each movement is based on a Smithsonian National Museum in Washington D.C. (Natural History, American Indian, African Art, and Air and Space). These movements can easily be performed separately. In addition to cross-curriculum teaching, the opening theme is slightly altered in each movement, teaching the concept of variations. Strongly consider this new work.

Flight of the Griffin - Brian Balmages
This exciting new work is based on the griffin, a mythological creature native to India, having the head, legs, and wings of an eagle, and the body of a lion. Starting with open 5ths in the clarinets, slight elements of Indian music are introduced as the work builds to its opening theme. A powerful middle section combines elements of chamber playing and full ensemble. The closing section represents the actual flight of the griffin, bringing the whole piece to a dramatic ending. Strongly consider this highly energetic composition!

Ragtime Dance - Gerald Sebesky
Use this work in place of a concert march in your next performance. Centering around a ragtime theme, this lighter selection also provides opportunities for the band to stomp their feet. Very easy to put together and reinforce basic rhythmic concepts at this level.

Of Men and the Sea (Grade 4) - Roland Barrett
Woodwind flourishes set the stage for the heroic main theme, which establishes the pace of the work. The quiet middle section reflects the sailors' isolation from land and loved ones before the feeling of triumph emerges once again, as the thrill of sailing on the high seas comes crashing right into your concert hall. A great concert opener!

Three Meditations - Erik Morales
Abstract, musical, thought provoking these all describe this innovative one-movement work by Erik Morales. Staggered entrances in the brass set the stage for the main theme, and the use of minor chords gives the work the sound of a fantasy film score. This is an excellent way to teach concepts of texture, tension, and release, while engaging your students with some extremely creative writing.
