Away In A Manger - William James Kirkpatric

Awesome Sauce - Scott Watson

You're cool, likeable, and confident. You don't walk, you strut. When you enter a party, a hush falls over the room and heads turn because you have a certain "je ne sais quoi!" People say you're "the bee's knees" and "the cat's meow." You're Awesome Sauce and this piece is the soundtrack of your life! With its fun, blues-like melody and cool rock beat, Awesome Sauce by Scott Watson is sure to be a player favorite. The limited chromaticism, accessible jazz-esque rhythms, and style-important articulations offer excellent teaching moments for the director. (2:57) Awesome Sauce correlates to Book 1, Level 6 of Sound Innovations for Concert Band.

Axel F - Harold Faltermeyer

Axiom - Larry Clark

An axiom is a statement or proposition which is regarded as being established, accepted, or self-evidently true. Make your band sound mature with this bold piece that includes fanfare gestures, strong themes and contrasting lyrical music. A strong choice for festival performance.

Axis - Naoya Wada

I composed Axis as a dedication to my friend Shinya Nakamitsu. He is a wonderful graphic designer who loves wind band music. Some years ago, I made a demo CD to hand out to a number of people. He oversaw the jacket design for that project and I composed this traditional march to thank him. Shinya Nakamitsu runs a design company called AXIS: hence the name of the composition.

Axolotl Dance - Hoefle

Named after Xolotl, Aztec god of fire and lightning, Mexican salamanders called Axolotls are increasing in popularity. They feature an anime-like appearance and have recently appeared in the computer game Minecraft! "Axolotl Dance" honors the Mexican heritage of these amazing creatures with basic Latin percussion, and highlights their charm with a lighter melody. Not just a pretty face, these creatures also have mysterious powers of regeneration like no other, making them of interest to scientists. Have fun learning about these delightful creatures while preparing this fun piece for performance!

Axon - Jared Spears

If you've ever heard or performed this writer's best- selling MOMENTATIONS, you will love this one. From the gorgeous chorale-like opening, and slow lyrical moments that proceed through the highly dramatic and colorful allegro sections, this is Spears at his best. A contest winner!
