Distant Castles

Distant Greeting - Doring

Distant Journey - Paul Lavender

Explorer Level (correlates with Book 1, p. 11) Using brash open harmonies and bold tutti rhythms, Paul has created a powerful-sounding work for beginners to sink their teeth into. Using only quarter and half notes, this is sureto sound great with only a few rehearsals. Dur: 1:40

Distant Mirrors - William Ballenger

This stylish, colorful work opens quietly with solo clarinet and crystal clear mallet highlights reminiscent of a lyrical English folksong. The decidedly English flavor is maintained as sections of the band gradually join in, changing the character of the piece to a rollicking dance. Easily playable, with active percussion and evocative melodic lines, this is indeed a musical reflection on our cultural heritage.

Distant Thunder of the Sacred Forest - Michael Sweeney

This amazing work opens with the sounds of distant villages as their drumming echoes through the African rain forests (or school gymnasium). As the players return to their normal seats in the band, the various elements of this composition gradually come together in a joyous unified celebration. Thoroughly researched to include authentic African patterns, Michael Sweeney has created a stunningly effective work that is playable by young ensembles. Includes performance and program notes on how to make your own percussion instruments and involve other departments in your school. Not just a piece of music...this is an event! Dur: 4:45

District of Columbia - G. Dixon
