A dramatic and inspiring patriotic composition which contains fresh musical treatments of "Yankee Doodle", "Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier", "America" and a full symphonic treatment of "The Star-Spangled Banner".

All sections of the band get several chances to shine and it's a full-blown extravaganza that is perfect for a zillion programming situations. Very impressive!

Divinum Mysterium - James Swearingen
Once in a great while, music is written in such a way that audience members find themselves so emotionally consumed that they are unable to express themselves with immediate applause at its conclusion. Noted composer James Swearingen has created a wonderful hymn setting that is full of emotion and, in a very reflective way, spiritually uplifting. A brief horn solo introduces thematic material that is very expressive and highly satisfying. Beyond words!

Kodama - Bell
Experience the beauty of the Japanese countryside in this lyrical work depicting the forest spirits called Kodama. Shintoism believes that everything from pebbles, animals, and plants, to forces of nature like the wind or a river contains a distinct spiritual essence or kami. It teaches a respect and reverence for everything in the natural world. Kodama captures this essence, making heavy of use of pentatonic scales associated with Japanese folk music and emulating the style that makes it so unique. A beautiful and picturesque work!

The Caravan Club - Karl L. King
The great Karl King wrote many wonderful marches, and "The Caravan Club" is one of his most interesting and unusual works. Heavy and ponderous at times, light and frisky at others, this march was used often in the circus to accompany tiger acts. An ominous introduction leads to a lumbering first strain, followed by a delightful contrasting, almost ragtime-like second strain. The trio features a wonderful melody with euphonium countermelody, in the style made so famous by King. The weighty breakstrain returns to a minor key feel, and then concludes with an embellished version of the trio. One of the march "King's" very best! Immense!

Two Bagatelles - Alfred Reed
Alfred Reed's "Two Bagatelles" was first published as a trombone quartet, then enlarged to a brass choir and finally to a full concert band setting. Andy Clark has taken it back to its beginnings and adapted it for the Barnhouse Build-A-Band Series, so that students in very small bands will get a chance to perform music by this master composer. Sounds great if the four basic parts are covered among the instruments present.

Tangle Wood Overture - Daisuke Shimizu
With this festive overture, which can also be played as a concert work, we introduce this young Japanese composer for the first time. He is already a real superstar in Japan, and with this piece, we get a little peek at why this is so.
