Rejoissant! - David Shaffer
As the title suggests, is a celebration of life's conquering obstacles, specifically of the composer's own personal battle against cancer. Written for the Upper Sandusky High School (Ohio) Wind Ensemble and with the thanks from the composer for the support and opportunity to compose this piece during a very difficult period of time, "Rejoissant!" opens with a slower dramatic fanfare in the brass and percussion. The simple but forceful melody is repeated in several forms throughout the piece, including the beautiful and melodic middle section. This exceptionally emotional and energetic composition is suitable for all concerts and especially festival performances.

Trek! - Herb Bassett
"Trek!" depicts three phases of a thrilling mountain bike ride: acceleration through the gears, tranquility of the ride, and an uphill climb and descent. While the eighth note remains constant throughout, changing meters, rising ostinati, and widening Doppler-shifts all imply acceleration leading to a break-neck downhill ride for a dynamic ending. Modal harmonies and an optimistic tone make "Trek!" fun to perform and exciting to hear! An energetic program selection or closer for concert or festival. Electrifying!

£86.50Sun Valley Flourish - Steven Reineke
"Sun Valley Flourish" is Steven Reineke at his best! Originally composed for orchestra in 2008 as the opening piece for the Erich Kunzel's Sun Valley Festival Orchestra, it has been masterfully adapted for concert band by Steven's first composition professor, David Shaffer. Written in the style of a fanfare/overture, this exciting work opens with brass fanfares and woodwind flourishes. Typical of Steven's writing, the main theme of the piece is a beautiful and flowing melody complimented by masterfully written counter melodies and spectacular in-your-face brass punctuations. The lyrical middle section is simple but quite musically effective leading into the fast and powerful finale. If you are fan of Steven Reineke's music, "Sun Valley Flourish" is a must-have!

£87.99Excursion! - Lisa Galvin
Lisa Galvin's latest programmatic work, "Excursion!" takes us for a ride on the Erie Canal. Drawing on themes from the well-known "Erie Canal" folk song, this frolicking work transforms that theme into a celebration of the famous stretch of waterway and those who built it. A piccolo soloist gives a nod to the Irish heritage of the workers, and a challenging clarinet solo harkens a raucous German polka that has this work driving to a fun and exhilarating ending! An excellent choice for festival or concert performance! Stunning!

£87.99A New Birth Of Freedom - Rob Romeyn
The oratorical genius of Abraham Lincoln changed the course of history with The Gettysburg Address. "A New Birth of Freedom" by Rob Romeyn honors Lincoln's historic vision for the country in the post-Civil War era of reconstruction and dedicates itself to that noble cause. After a short introduction, a rudimentary solo section is featured on a theme that is reminiscent of the fife and drum musical style of Lincoln's time. This theme is developed upon as the music unfolds, gradually building and leading to a glorious, powerful, and dramatic apex. The work then moves to a restatement of that same fife and drum section on which it began, this time leading to a reflective and contemplative conclusion. A truly outstanding work that will bring a touch of class and nobility to any concert or festival performance! Outstanding!
