Con Brio - Ralph Ford

Scored in traditional, or standard march form, this original work has all the opportunities for varied performance that are found in Sousa's revered marches. The trio section features a melody from "The Maple Leaf Forever" and is quite appropriate since the march was commissioned and premiered by the Con Brio Festivals in British Columbia. This is a sparkling new original march in the style that is at the very root of the concert band art form. A brisk energizing choice! (3:00) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Coney Island Rag - Scott Watson

This lively, nostalgic piece will musically transport players and audience alike to the iconic amusement parks of turn-of -the-century Coney Island (near Brooklyn, New York). The sweet, cheerful sounds that flowed from the carousels and bandwagons of a time gone by infuse this characteristic, but level-appropriate work. Ragtime feel is achieved via accessible syncopations, chromatics that lay well on the instruments, and sectional form. Novel percussion, including a slide whistle, adds to the fun! (2:35)
