Down From The Shimmering Sky - James Curnow
A concert "centerpiece", this major work from James Curnow explores the spiritual perspectives of the First Nations of the Pacific Northwest in North America. The five movements investigate the "Cosmos" and its four "Worlds". With such complete contrasts as "The Undersea World" and the ceremonial dance in "The Mortal World", an authentic First Nations melody in "The Spirit World" and the ethos of "The Sky World", the wonders are many. Your performance of "Down From The Shimmering Sky" will be meaningful and memorable for musicians and audience alike. This is a landmark piece for concert band.

Colour and versatility is the key to this composition in three movements by Carl Wittrock. The Tournament is the most versatile piece of music you could wish for. Movement 1 (March) is an excellent, lively concert opener. The 2nd movement (Ballad) is a calm interlude, which provides much freedom for expression. Movement 3 (Dance) sweeps the piece along to the inevitable Grande Finale: a rousing melody with prominent rhythmic support.
