Contraption (Concert Band - Score and Parts - McBrien, Brendan

Contraption is a tone poem describing an imaginary machine of great size and power. The word contraption is defined as a device or machine regarded as strange, incomprehensible, or makeshift. This concept has been applied to the construction of this musical composition. The creation of this piece was accomplished in the same way an inventor might build a physical contraption, in this case limited to three main component parts plus an interlude. A very unique and appealing piece!Duration: 3:45

Contredanse (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Clark, Larry

Today we have 'line dancing,' which in reality is not too different from the 'contredanse' or country dance of the late 18th century. The music accompanying this French dance form was written in eight-measure phrases repeated again and again. Composer Larry Clark gives us the flavor of another era with more contemporary harmonic structuring. Look very seriously at this sophisticated yet audience-friendly new work for your concert band or wind ensemble. Duration: 2.30
