£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.

Inspired by the many sounds, styles and moods of Broadway, this entertaining piece was funded by the family of drummer Kyle Woodring, who played with Survivor, Dennis DeYoung, John Mellencamp, and in the Chicago run of Jersey Boys. The music serves as a backstage pass to his career and, in the style of a typical Broadway overture, takes the listener through a series of styles and melodies. Spectacular!

£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)

£62.95Through Courageous Eyes - Brian Balmages
This innovative work makes use of an optional piano part that is most likely playable by someone already in the band. It was written in honor of Matt Rhodes, a student at John T. Baker Middle (Damascus, MD), who passed away during a battle with spina bifida. It represents his kindness, courage, and determination despite his confinement to a wheelchair. An opening ethereal section and chorale moves into an exciting portrayal of life which concludes with a humorous ending that was very characteristic of Matt. A very musical composition that teaches much more than notes. (4:50)
