Ash Grove Variations - Stephen Bulla

Based on a Welsh folk song, this simple melody is tastefully scored to fit the familiar style of Holst and Vaughn Williams. After an introduction that builds on fragmentary melodic elements in 4/4 meter, the main theme of the variations appears in 3/4. Scored to feature different instrumental textures throughout, in addition to a full ensemble treatment. Very appropriate for contest.

Ashton - James Swearingen

If you liked Swearingen's incredibly popular "Brookpark Overture,'' this English folkstyle piece should fit your band to a "T." It features a majestic fanfare, a quick and lively main theme interspersed with some clever lyrical writing and a pretty middle section in 3/4.

Asian Folk Song Medley - Gerald Sebesky

Asian Song - Jerry Nowak

An inventive composition which captures the fascinating sounds and colors of Far Eastern music amazingly well. The main melody is modal but the harmony, at times is more varied. "Asian Song" reflects some of the musical aspects of the many cultures that exist on that continent. Exceptionally appealing!
