£150.00Sonics - Donald Coakley
This spectacular piece, commissioned by the Markham District High School Wind Symphony, Bill Thomas conductor, is a large-scale dramatic work for concert band. Chromatic harmonies and dissonant intervals create tension and excitement. Mr. Coakley's brilliant writing for the many band pieces he has done has reached a pinnacle with this new composition. Sonics is around 12 minutes in length and touches on a variety of compositional techniques. Within the sonata-allegro form themes are introduced and developed throughout the ensemble. Contrapuntal elements as well as many meter changes (7/8, 5/8) keeps the pace of the piece quick and energetic. This is a monumental addition to concert band literature and will quickly find it's place with other Grade 6 level band pieces. The composer describes this work as "acidy" and that term seems to best capture the mood of the piece. Sonics is a very difficult work that would prove to be a challenge for a university/college level ensemble. Professional bands may also consider this piece because of the virtuosity that is required from all players.

Prologue), one of qiuet and thoughtful reminiscence (II. Reminiscence), and a mood of rhythmic light-heartedness (III. Rondel). Instrumentation: 2 trumpets in Bb, horn, 2 trombones, and tuba

£71.50Meditation and Festiva - Jared Spears
As the name suggests, the opening is a slow, dirge- like section beginning with reeds, adding trombone and low brass. An ostinato snare drum helps build the opening to a climax which then returns to the original meditative mood. A sudden shift in mood occurs at the Festiva, where punctuating brass, lyric clarinets, and effective polychords lead in a rhythmically straightforward way toward a highly fulfilling conclusion.
