March of the Martians - Ralph Ford (ASCAP)
by Ralph Ford is a dynamic, exciting march written in a cinematic style for young performers reminiscent of science fiction movies from the 1950s to the video games of today.

Afterlife - Rossano Galante

Then there are those who have had near death experiences and live to tell their stories. This composition starts delicately as peacefulness returns to the soul.

Cut to the Chase - Todd Stalter
In popular jargon, the phrase "cut to the chase" means to get to the really interesting or important point, and leave out all that is unnecessary. It originated from early cinematic lore when silent films were full of romantic storylines that inevitably led to much more exciting and memorable chase sequences. In this work, the melodic fragments are tossed around the band to give the impression that everyone is being chased or chasing something. To pay homage to the phrase's past, the frantic atmosphere stops for an obligatory inclusion of a slow, romantic chord progression with a soaring melody, and then the chase resumes, building to a rousing conclusion. (2:25) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
