Siciliano and Tarantella
This distinctive work by Michael Oare is based on two Italian dance forms dating back to the Baroque period. Siciliano opens with a delicate 6/8 melody in the flutes which is developed and passed around to various sections of the band. In contrast, Tarantella is a brash and uptempo dance featuring a rhythmic pulse accompanying the flowing melodic lines. Quite a nice pairing of tunes with historical importance.

Mystic Mountain Legend - Tom Lazarich
This work is a one-movement piece with distinct sections. Beginning with a maestoso opening statement, the work then moves directly into a lighter 2/4 section which then leads to a 3/4 section that provides a lyrical rubato interlude back to the maestoso ending.

Insurrection - Gary P. Gilroy
Insurrection was composed as a potential concert opener for intermediate band. It is a passionate work with driving and relentless motives that possess a nervous energy. The clashing dissonances heard throughout the work represent a clashing against authority as an insurrection is defined. The middle of the composition gives a short reprieve from the intense and driving rhythms of the outer sections of the work while still retaining moments of dissonance and conflict. A transition takes us back to the opening tempo and dissonant material that eventually makes its way to a triumphant coda.

Bandissima - Wim Laseroms
A festive introduction leads to the main part of this march, most notable for its exciting dynamic contrast and strings of ornate and technically interesting semiquaver passages. The trio creates a change of pace, introducing a beautiful, song-like melody which, over the course of several powerful interludes, undergoes a fascinating transformation that leads back to the march. Bandissima's technical prowess and well-defined structure make it an exciting contemporary concert march.

Dramatic Prelude - Claude T. Smith
"Dramatic Prelude" begins with a "dramatic" fanfare, which is followed by an easily accessible melody; a del segno takes you back to the "dramatic" fanfare and an ending as exciting as the beginning. This flexible arrangement allows ensembles to perform the work with as few as twelve musicians providing accessibility and flexibility for numerous instrumentation needs, while still allowing a full ensemble sound.*The posted recording is based on the full band scoring but aligns with the suggested preferences for either woodwinds/strings or brass suggested in the score.
