"Tides" calls to comparison the currents of the sea and our own human emotions. The piece is the perfect vehicle for younger groups to refine their ensemble playing skills. Written in a chorale-like setting, the piece challenges the students' abilities to listen and perform with expression. Filled with emotion, "Tides" provides the ingredients necessary for contrast in any concert program.

Traveler

David Maslanka's Traveler, for Symphonic Wind ensemble, was commissioned in 2003 by the University of Texas at Arlington Band Alumni Association, the Delta Sigma chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi and the Gamma Nu Chapter of Tau Beta Sigma, in honor of the career contributions of Ray C. Lichtenwalter, retiring Director of bands at UT Arlington. Maslanka writes, "Ray has been a close friend and champion of my music for many years, and it was a great pleasure for me to write this piece for his final concert. The idea for Traveler came from the feeling of a big life movement as I contemplated my friend's retirement." Carl Fischer Music is excited to make this beautifully contemplative piece available to wind ensembles everywhere.

Trek to the Summit

Trek to the Summit takes all who listen on a journey to the top of the mountain. From the grand opening fanfare to the softer lyrical passage, this piece captures the excitement, confidence, and also moments of quiet reflection inspired by a long mountain trek. You will have the opportunity to reinforce dynamics, phrasing, and tone with your students. This work is a great concert piece for celebrating how far your students have come.
