Beyond the Shadows (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Saucedo, Richard L.

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.Duration: 4.30

Beyond the Shores of Avalon (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Bell, Jeremy

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! Duration: 3.30

Beyond the Stars (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Curnow, James

Based on the traditional American shaped-note melody The Promised Land (first published in the 1800's), Beyond the Stars captures the spirit of the early American church musicians who voiced their enthusiasm for life and the freedom 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 material for each variation by excerpting motifs from three separate phrases of the original shaped-note melody. A stunning and powerful work for winds.Duration: 6:30

Beyond the Stars (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Huckeby, Ed

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 centre, 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.Duration: 3.45

Beyond The Western Sky

This fresh and exciting work explores the unique colors and characteristics of the northern plains from a musical perspective. The driving percussive rhythmic elements and regal fanfare-like themes of the introduction give way to beautiful, lyrical melodic lines, a popular characteristic of Huckeby's ultra-descriptive music. "Beyond The Western Sky" will make a great choice for your next concert or contest performance!

Beyond Whistler (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Ford, Ralph

The closing movement from the Sea to Sky Suite is Beyond Whistler. After whisking down this highest and most treacherous of slopes, the listener stops to view what lies beyond. This movement is finalized with a long, slow build to the climax, again using the motif that is present throughout the entire suite. It is to be performed with a great sense of wonder and excitement, with a gradual build to the end. A grand conclusion to this dynamic suite. Also consider programming the first three movements: March: The Lion's Gate, Shannon Falls and Stawamus Chief.Duration: 7:15
