A Winter Memory - Roland Barrett

This "winter memory" becomes a part of the essence of who and what we are, permanently established in our minds eye, providing warm memories for many years to come.

A Winter's Dawn - John Fannin

An enchanting winter's day comes to life in this exciting new work for concert band by rising star composer John Fannin. Skillful use of bells, chimes, and assorted other percussion instruments help give this piece a character of its own. The icy sound of water glasses is particularly expressive, and the thrilling accented rhythmic momentum of the faster parts of the piece will show off your band in stunning array.

A Winter's Night (based on Silent Night)

Though Silent Night has been arranged for band many times before, this unique setting by Rick Kirby deserves special attention. An oboe solo (cued for alto sax) accompanied by piano sets the stage for an impressive rhapsodicapproach that includes lush full ensemble passages with harmonic twists, solos for recorder (flute), bassoon (tenor sax) and euphonium. Rick's beautiful rendering ends with the band singing Silent Night in unison. Sure to become aholiday highlight.
