Tapestries - Mike Forbes

Using the musical styles and forms of the Medieval and Renaissance periods, Mike Forbes has written a striking and powerful three movement suite that is a major addition to serious band literature. The music is entirely original, but the style and approach is similar to such pieces as the Courtly Dances from Gloriana by Benjamin Britten, and makes effective use of the coloristic possibilities of the modern concert band.

Tartan Tapestries

Tartan Tapestriesis an original piece that sets out to emulate Scottish folk music. Composer Larry Clark has created a concert overture in triple meter to capture the essence of music from Scotland. After a lilting first section, lush and beautiful moments weave a tapestry of sounds with the lyrical, middle section of the piece. There is an optional part for bagpipes, and an optional ending should you chose to use this instrument as part of the piece. Alert your contest music committee about this strong new piece for advancing groups.

Temblor

Of Spanish origin, the word "temblor" means tremor or earthquake. This composition for the developing concert band is as unstoppable as the natural disaster it embodies. Aggressive in nature, but with some well placed repose and a stunning maestoso climax, Temblor is bound to excite students and audiences alike.
