Plymouth Trilogy - Anthony Iannaccone

In three movements (each tending more towards light rather than ponderous), this is an immensely accessible work that would be appropriate for bands of moderately advanced skills. From a 6/8 march-feel opening, to a reflective middle movement that ends as a pianissimo chorale, to a lively ending rag, this is a great work. Transparent scoring allows players to shine in small groupings and the surrounding ensemble passages sparkle with life and energy.

Poeme - Todd Stalter

encourages young wind players to play expressively by giving them many opportunities to phrase and support a long musical line, all while using comfortable ranges and the entire dynamic spectrum. Written in a free form, a rising line through the ensemble carries the players and audience to a dramatic emotional peak, eventually giving way to a calm, serene ending.
