Emerald Suite - Dwayne Milburn

Each of the three movements of this work uses a particular section of the North Texas State Alma Mater as its formative material, since it was commissioned in honor of Dennis Fisher and his 25 years of service to the North Texas State community. The Rondo is mostly in 7/8 and 6/8 time and is highly energetic, though it ends quietly. The Air is gentle and lyrical as it builds to powerful climax and then recedes to the same gentle mood that uses to open the movement. The March provides a perfect balance to the other movements and ends with great excitement. Each of these three movements stands well on their own and can be programmed either separately or in their entirety.

Enchantment - Brian Balmages

This dark, mystical work seeks to portray magical moments ranging from the most simple to the most powerful. Opening with an air of mystery and uncertainty, the music slowly transforms into feelings of power and confidence. Wind players do not encounter any eighth notes, so they are able to focus on the style and energy of the work. Truly enchanting!
