Ariel
This original overture demonstrates a sense of lightness and buoyancy. The title is borrowed from the sprite-like character in William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest.” A spirit whose name is derived from “air,” Ariel is capricious, ethereal, and mischievous—adjectives that apply to this piece. A cherished new addition to the repertoire! (4:00)SKU: AL38361 -

Arrows
This impressive work by Samuel Hazo begins and ends with a unifying dramatic and powerful fanfare theme. In contrast, the middle section is built around faster and modern-sounding rhythms and harmonies, while incorporating traditional melodies (including a hint of Bach’s Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring) lending a unique and timeless quality to the music. Commissioned as a tribute from one band director to his predecessor, this is a rewarding and effective work for today’s bands. Dur: 5:00SKU: HL04003856 -
