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

With the main thematic material beginning in unison and quickly expanding into thick harmonies, this work moves even the younger ensemble into an expanded consciousness of contemporary composition. A slower middle section provides necessary contrasts and vertical sonorities that underscore the interaction of the melodic lines throughout. Performance tempo can be successfully adjusted to the performance levels of the ensemble. Convergence is a dramatic vehicle! Duration: 4.45

Convergence (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Moss, John

Here is an expansive work featuring a wide spectrum of emotional and sonic elements for symphonic band. From striking full band effects to delicate woodwind and percussion writing, this is a marvelous showcase for your entire ensemble. Featured is an amazing contrapuntal section for the clarinets, a flowing chorale, powerful fanfare-like passages, dynamic full band unisons and soaring melodies.

Conversations (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Wilson, Chandler L.

In the American Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote, "If there's something wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action..." Chandler Wilson's "Conversations" is based on the idea of conversations that are needed for society to progressively move forward, most profoundly in the areas of racial issues and equality. The music eloquently expresses the importance of considering and respecting the points of view of other's. A musical work which is truly thought-provoking. Duration: 6.00

Conzensus (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan

This stately concert opener was originally written by Jan Van der Roost for a special event in which six respected wind orchestras (two Belgian and four Dutch) of different composition (two symphonic bands, two fanfare bands and two brass bands) were featured during six concerts. Each evening brought forth a performance by a symphonic band, a fanfare, and brass band, so that the audience could experience all three types of ensembles. This was indeed an original concept. The name, ConZEnSus, comes from a combination of the words, 'Concert Cyclus' (concert series) and 'zes' (Dutch for 'six'). This leads to a new word, which refers to 'consensus'. The general tenor of the cycle is thus immediately indicated. The richness of colour of the various ensembles is revealed through an open and friendly atmosphere. During all six concerts (over a span of three years), ConZEnSus functioned as a permanent opening number for each orchestra. Thus the same musical story was portrayed in three different packages.Duration: 2:30

COOGEE FUNK (Advanced Concert Band) - Higgins, Gavin

Coogee Funk is a wild and fast paced exploration of funk riffs and rhythms. Inspired by a trip to Sydney in 2005, it is divided into three core sections. The work opens with a blazing brash fanfare that, after a distant call from an off-stage saxophone quartet, subsides into a drunken nautical seascape. After a series of solos from flugel horn and saxophone the work charges headlong into a wild funk fugue which soon rears out of control. A lonely horn solo brings the piece to a melancholic close.
