A Golden Jubilation (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Yagisawa, Satoshi

This work was composed as a commission by the Aikodai Meiden High School Symphonic Band, for the 50th anniversary of their annual concert; the title A Golden Jubilation is a reference to this. The close friendship between Hiroki Ito, the conductor of the band, and Satoshi Yagisawa resulted in this brilliant and exhilarating fanfare of approximately two minutes in length; the piece is ideal to use as a concert opener. The original composition was arranged for an extremely wide range of instruments and a band of 200 musicians, including a separate 'banda', harp and a variety of special instruments. This version has been rescored for standard band instrumentation by the composer himself. Duration: 2.20

A Guide Along the Pathway (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Saucedo, Richard L.

This intense and emotional work was commissioned by the Indiana Music Educators Association and was premiered at the 2011 IMEA Convention with the composer conducting. Written as a gift to longtime friend of music education, Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser, the piece is basically lyrical in nature with beautiful lines and colours. A brief faster section, in the words of the composer, "describes that uncomfortable time when we are desperately trying to find ourselves." The piece ends on a solemn yet reaffirming note, reminding us of the importance of guides and mentors along life's pathway.Duration: 5:00

A Handel Suite (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Johnson, Stuart

The three movements of this suite have been carefully selected from a collection of keyboard music, presumably written by Handel for the harpsichord. The Serenade (2nd movement) was originally a courtly dance and should be performed at a stately pace. The third movement is a three-part fugue, robust and contrapuntal, providing interesting parts for everyone.
