£66.95Phasing Thunder - Brian Balmages
The dynamic energy of minimalism combines with the epic sounds of thunderstorms in this contemporary and powerful work. Opening with the haunting sounds of vibraphone, piano, crystal glasses and ethereal percussion, the music soon begins to naturally phase in and out as the storm continues to grow. Powerful lines collide with moments of delicate transparency before a gentle rainstorm emerges from within the ensemble. Stunning music.

£66.95Proudly We Hail - John Stafford Smith / arr. Brian Balmages
Snare drum solo and muted trumpets set the tone as the endearing melody of our National Anthem is first introduced. Each new entrance is a textural gem as the work harmonically unfolds, and builds to a moving and grandiose conclusion. (3:15)

£73.50Winged Victory - Brian Balmages
This powerful composition links two historic landmarks in Kenosha, Wisconsin-a statue that commemorates those who fought in the name of freedom, and a lighthouse that united an entire town when they fought the government to prevent it from being torn down. Soft lyrical lines combine with powerful fanfares and uplifting themes as the work spans a wide range of emotions. While this version can be performed alone, supplemental parts are also available separately for elementary and intermediate bands (with ample amounts of rest), making this a powerful recruiting tool and a grandiose concert experience!

£110.00Shadow Waltzes - Brian Balmages
Drawing on the contrast of darkness against light, this innovative work is menacing at times, seemingly innocent at others, and nearly out of control at its most volatile moments. A static rhythmic pulse forms the backdrop for the entire piece as shadows seem to move throughout darkness in a playful yet deceitful way. An invigorating and unique work!

£66.95The Star-Spangled Banner - John Stafford Smith / arr. Brian Balmages
Premiered by the Ohio All-State Band, this stunning and emotional arrangement pays homage to the amazing performance by Bruce Hornsby and Branford Marsalis at the 1991 NBA All-Star Game. That performance visibly affected many in the audience in a deep way, and this arrangement is designed to evoke those same emotions. True to the original, yet with a contemporary spin that does not go too far. Amazingly powerful.

£73.50Grace - Brian Balmages
This stunning and emotional work is based on the single word "grace." Largely original, the music weaves a tapestry of solitude, tension, patience and peace. Toward the end of the work, the melody of Amazing Grace emerges subtly and draws the audience in further. An emotional rollercoaster that explores great musical depth.

£45.95African Journey - Brian Balmages
The use of "snares off" and a tom-tom part will take your students on a musical safari with African Journey. Open 4ths and 5ths create a very mysterious setting. The piece also features some excellent contrapuntal writing between the ostinato figures and the melodic line that will keep student interest high during both rehearsal and performance time. (2:40)

£41.50Rite of Passage - Brian Balmages
A beginning band piece limited to a 6-note range, will have your band playing together in very little time. Utilizing smaller chamber sections as well as the full band, this is an excellent teaching piece. With no clarinets over the break and no trumpets higher than a written A, this is a very easy Grade 1 concert march. (2:00)

£58.50Journal for a Soldier - Brian Balmages
The lyrical lines of this heart-wrenching composition were inspired by a letter from an 8-year-old girl to a soldier overseas. Using elements of Brahm's Lullaby, Eternal Father Strong to Save, and Echo Taps, it tells the story of a father with incredible courage, yet he also longs to be able to tuck his daughter in at night. You will not have a dry eye in the house, including your own.
