Captive - Ed Kiefer
Captive is a sophisticated new piece that employs some modern compositional techniques to emulate the sound of electronic instruments with acoustic instruments. You would swear there is a synthesizer being played. The piece is based on the popular carol O Come, O Come Emmanuel, but it is not a holiday piece. This is a totally new composition for contest and festival performance that is different and refreshing and builds to an effective climax that impresses audiences.

You may know this composer from the exceptional music he has written for beginning band, but now you will hear why many think he is one of the best writers of concert band music at any level. This exciting piece weaves exotic gypsy melodies together with compound meter designed to challenge the moderately advanced band. It is the percussion section that drives this piece, using rhythms that are typical of Eastern European folk music. Gypsy Dance is a great way to introduce students to this genre.

The Victors - Louis Elbel
This is the most famous of all college fight songs, but more impottant than that, it is a stellar concert march for contest/festival performance. The lesser known first and second strains are comparible to the great marches of John Philip Sousa and others. Andrew Balent works his magic to make it playable for today's bands.

Insignia - Sean O'Loughlin
Bold scoring and melodic warmth characterize this fine original concert overture. Presented in extended form by the flute, the principal idea is memorable and achieves great stature in the broad coda. The harmonic language is up-to-date, but it is the tunefulness of O'Loughlin's style that will attract young players. Insignia is a natural selection for contest performances. Duration: 6'

The Gladiator (March) - John Philip Sousa
A lesser-known but unforgettable Sousa march is presented in a terrific arrangement for the modern concert band by the expert Andrew Balent. The opening idea has an intriguing tonal ambiguity (is it major or minor?) and the second strain, introduced by the saxophones, is a real Sousa gem. This is wonderful music by any standard, beautifully scored, and represents the American march style at its most ingratiating.
