Concerto No. 1 (for Wind Orchestra)
Commissioned for the 2016 South Carolina All-State High School Band, Concerto No. 1 is a spectacular showcase for the entire ensemble rather than just a single soloist. Throughout this dynamic work the entire ensemble is featured, although there are also “concerto” type moments for solo instruments as well as chamber groups. The horns are also featured prominently throughout the piece. Dur: c. 8:45(Recorded by the 2016 South Carolina Senior All-State Band, Richard L. Saucedo conducting)

Coney Island Rag
This lively, nostalgic piece will musically transport players and audience alike to the iconic amusement parks of turn-of -the-century Coney Island (near Brooklyn, New York). The sweet, cheerful sounds that flowed from the carousels and bandwagons of a time gone by infuse this characteristic, but level-appropriate work. Ragtime feel is achieved via accessible syncopations, chromatics that lay well on the instruments, and sectional form. Novel percussion, including a slide whistle, adds to the fun!

Confession (Movement 2 of Symphony of Prayer)
This remarkable composition is the second movement to Eric Schmidt’s colorful and dramatic symphony for band. A dark and energetic work, Confession is based on a three-note motive, beginning with a menacing opening, but finally yielding to a beautiful chorale that provides a transition to a somber and reverent conclusion. Brilliant orchestration and well-crafted use of creative thematic material make this a most expressive work. Thanksgiving, the popular third movement of the Symphony of Prayer is also available and makes an excellent choice when performed following Confession.SKU: AL24675 -

Confluence (Allegheny Lament & Dance of the Monongahela)
In downtown Pittsburgh, the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers come together to form the Ohio River. This confluence of mighty waterways served as inspiration for this dynamic work for band. The impassioned “lament” features expressive melodic lines, followed by the “dance,” which utilizes mixed meters and a relentless underlying pulse. Dur: 3:15SKU: HL04002999 -

Confrontations
Defined, “to oppose a challenge or standing in the way of opposition.” In general usage it insinuates that this can likely be resolved and is not as serious as a “fight” or “war.” In this music, the composer suggests that a confrontation could be described as a non-harmonic discord which is quickly changed to a pleasing resolution. Energetic percussion contributions enhance this bold new contemporary composition.SKU: AL32491 -

Continuum
This exciting, innovative new work from Robert Buckley was commissioned by the Troy University Symphony Band in honor of the 37th annual Southeastern United States Concert Band Clinic in Alabama. Using a recurring two-measure loop, this uniquely constructed piece is built up around various musical building blocks that are constantly evolving and transforming. The music is dramatic and dynamic, with full-blown ensemble passages suddenly dropping to quiet, powerful moments without ever losing the music’s continuous drive. Following an exotic, bluesy middle section the piece builds, accelerating to a thrilling, rhythmic, percussive finish. A real tour de force! Dur: 7:00SKU: HL04003030 -

Contraption
Contraption is a tone poem describing an imaginary machine of great size and power. The word “contraption” is defined as “a device or machine regarded as strange, incomprehensible, or makeshift.” This concept has been applied to the construction of this musical composition. The creation of this piece was accomplished in the same way an inventor might build a physical contraption, in this case limited to three main component “parts” plus an interlude. A very unique and appealing piece! (3:40)SKU: AL26824 -

Contredanse
Today we have ‘line dancing,’ which in reality is not too different from the ‘contredanse’ or country dance of the late 18th century. The music accompanying this French dance form was written in eight-measure phrases repeated again and again. Composer Larry Clark gives us the flavor of another era with more contemporary harmonic structuring. Look very seriously at this sophisticated yet audience-friendly new work for your concert band or wind ensemble. (2:24)

Convergence
With the main thematic material beginning in unison and quickly expanding into thick harmonies, this work moves even the younger ensemble into an expanded consciousness of contemporary composition. A slower middle section provides necessary contrasts and vertical sonorities that underscore the interaction of the melodic lines throughout. Performance tempo can be successfully adjusted to the performance levels of the ensemble. Convergence is a dramatic new vehicle! (duration 4:48)
