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.

Triangle of the Tempest

Triangle of the Tempest is a fast-moving composition with interesting rhythmic challenges and dynamic color shifts. Starting with syncopated figures over a repeated eight-measure progression, the piece builds in intensity as more sections and layers are added. The second part changes tone and is led by a heroic trumpet melody with a soaring woodwind obligato. The themes intertwine and the material develops into a dramatic conclusion with a final explosive ensemble hit. Action-packed and full of rhythmic drive, this piece is a good choice for contest or festival performance.

Tribal Quest

This is a dramatic concert opener or closer. Exciting percussion, hand claps and foot stomps are very effective in creating a celebratory feeling in this evocative work. Set at a bright tempo, it is intense to the point of being electrifying!
