Awakened Like the Morn - Robert Sheldon

This stirring composition was inspired by Ann Terry's poem In Every Age and was commissioned by the Ottawa Elementary and High School Music Fest held in Ottawa, Illinois. Originally conceived as a song, the lyrical quality of the piece comes shining through in the various moods of the piece, from spirited to wistful to triumphant! A tremendous addition to the young band repertoire.

Awakening Hills - Richard L. Saucedo

MusicWorks - Grade 3 Commissioned for the All Iowa Middle School Honor Band, here is an exuberant work that features dynamic ensemble passages, layering effects, and extensive percussion scoring. Richard's masterful development of repetitive rhythmic motives makes this sound more difficult than it really is. A contrasting middle section uses brief solos for alto sax and flute over a rich harmonic texture. A powerful statement for band. (5:10)

Awakening? - Dana Wilson

Beginning with silence and gradually building throughout to a powerful and dramatic close, this distinctive work from Dana Wilson explores the various facets of the word "awakening" as it applies to the waking of an individual, a day, or possibly even a philosophical idea. Wonderfully imaginative, Awakening... makes use of striking colors and sonic devices including surrounding the audience with percussion near the climatic finish.
