Chewy Chocolate! - David M. Martin

With a subtitle like "Whatsa That on Your Lip?," you've got to expect some humor. David Martin does not disappoint in this tongue-in-cheek work for young band. The bass line is repetitive yet clever, the melody cute but not cloying, and you'll find yourself absent-mindedly wiping your chin with a tissue!

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. Skillfully arranged by Roland Barrett. (4:45)

Chimera - Vince Gassi

Greek mythology is the source of inspiration for this new piece for young band. A chimera is a fire-breathing monster with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail. Fearsome indeed!! But just as dynamic is this musical tale of valor depicting a warrior knight's epic quest to defeat the beast. Spirited harmonies and energetic rhythms abound, contrasting perfectly with a moving lyrical section.
