Geometric Dances - Roger Cichy

A fascinating and most creative work! Starting out in 2/4 meter, an eighth note is added to the meter of each successive movement (2/4, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8). The melodies are very musical and dance-like, with touches of the familiar throughout, and some jazz harmonizations for good measure. This marvelous work turns the math that you hated into the dance music that you love.

Gettysburg - Brian Balmages

Using many effects to recreate the events at the Battle of Gettysburg, this piece is perfect for discussing historical perspective (included in the notes). A slow, mysterious opening leads into a depiction of the battle. A short, aleatoric section simulates a huge cannon bombardment with drums and whistling. A great way to utilize percussion while providing many opportunities for the rest of the band as well. Consider this strongly for your programming needs. (2:45)
