Beyond The Sea (La Mer) - Charles Trenet

Beyond the Shadows - Richard L. Saucedo

What lies beyond a shadow? That question has inspired numerous authors and continues to puzzle those who dream of another dimension beyond our own. Richard's evocative composition is sure to fuel the imagination while providing a wealth of musical opportunities. The mystical opening features several short solos before leading to a rich cantabile section for horns and low brass. From there the piece intensifies to a dramatic peak before returning to the calmer and soloistic feel of the beginning. A rewarding work with masterful pacing. Dur: ca. 4:15

Beyond the Shores of Avalon - J. Bell

"Beyond the Shores of Avalon" takes the listener on a musical journey to the island sanctuary hidden in the mist, said to be the resting place of King Arthur. According to legend, Avalon was a utopian paradise, home to many powerful enchantresses, including Arthur's sister Morgan le Fay. "Beyond the Shores of Avalon" is a wonderful work for teaching blend and dynamic balance within the ensemble, while also giving the low brass and woodwinds the opportunity to stand out with the melody. Enchanting music!

Beyond the Stars - Ed Huckeby

With first and second year players in mind, Ed Huckeby has developed a modal melodic and harmonic structure using a familiar key as the tonal center, making the piece sound much more difficult than it really is. The contrasting slow section allows the ensemble to showcase its developing legato style. A single bass line also allows great flexibility for ensembles with limited low brass and low woodwind sections. Your students will love "Beyond The Stars" and your audiences will be amazed at how the band is playing "such difficult music." Highly recommended for young players and ensembles with limited instrumentation.

Beyond the Stars - James Curnow

Based on the traditional American shaped-note melody The Promised Land (first published in the 1800s), Beyond the Stars captures the spirit of the early American church musicians who voiced their enthusiasm for life and thefreedom of worship through both vocal and instrumental music. The music features several mini-variations wrapped up in four large variations (Fast, Fast, Slow, Fast-recapitulation). The composer has created new thematic materialfor each variation by excerpting motifs from three separate phrases of the original shaped-note melody. A stunning and powerful work for winds. Dur: c. 6:20
