Ash Grove Variations - Stephen Bulla
Based on a Welsh folk song, this simple melody is tastefully scored to fit the familiar style of Holst and Vaughn Williams. After an introduction that builds on fragmentary melodic elements in 4/4 meter, the main theme of the variations appears in 3/4. Scored to feature different instrumental textures throughout, in addition to a full ensemble treatment. Very appropriate for contest.

Call to Glory - Elliot Del Borgo
This extensive, processional-like piece is an easy grade 2 and will work nicely as either a contest warm-up or impressive concert finale. Most of the low brass and woodwinds are scored together and the second clarinet remains below the break. Eb is the highest pitch for trumpet.

In Nature's Glory - Brian Balmages
Opening with a stately rhythm in the low brass, the main theme moves into a slightly slower and more lyrical section with cascading triplets moving throughout the woodwinds. Moving into a faster section, the piece echoes motives from earlier in the work while introducing a few new ideas. An excellent choice for contest and festival.

Ancient Visions - Roland Barrett
After a brief lyrical introduction, Roland Barrett begins a rhythmic ostinato that sets the stage for the heroic statements made by the brass. Open 5ths become very effective in the simple contrapuntal writing that adds to the overall energy. Brief solo trumpet is used in the lyrical middle section before a climax presented by full band. The final section brings back material from the opening with a key change that adds even more intensity to the exciting conclusion. An easy, yet effective contest or festival work.

Night Flight of the Gargoyles - Timothy Loest
This harrowing work depicts a horde of scowling, bewitched gargoyles as they break free from their stone perches and fly about under cover of darkness. After a vengeful introduction, the aggressive theme takes off, supported bybombastic percussion. Each section gets its say with the melody, and your clarinetists will love playing the bloodcurdling screams (played by removing the mouthpiece and barrel). A bold and dramatic work for concert or contest!(2:20)
