Echoes of the Silent
In 1917 two ships collided in the harbor of Halifax, Canada. The resulting explosion devastated most of the city. Echoes of the Silent is a hymn that pays homage to those who perished and to the resilient souls who survived. This music is reverent and reflective, with emotional ebbs and swells and an eventual build to a stirring theme of hope and inner strength. Ideal as a festival or memorial piece, this work is an opportunity for your ensemble to explore softer dynamics, expression and nuance. Dur: 5:05SKU: HL04005355 -

El Capitan
When one thinks of “marches,” one almost automatically thinks of John Philip Sousa. Perhaps the greatest march writer of all time, he composed literally hundreds of these works. El Capitan ranks high in his list of classics. The first several strains are written in six-eight, and the last strains in two-four, giving a unique change of character. This scoring has reduced the technical difficulties while keeping the integrity of this well-known work. (2:21)SKU: ALBD9934 -

Emerald Awakening
Splashes of color and striking textures combine with an underlying “street beat” driving pulse in this joyous overture for band. Throughout, Michael skillfully manipulates melodic and rhythmic fragments as they are developed and passed from section to section. A brief slow section and tender chorale provide a poignant calm before the celebration of rhythm and dance returns for the uplifting conclusion. A rewarding piece that is fun to play!SKU: HL04003207 -

Propelled throughout by a constant driving pulse, Michael Oare’s exciting work pits opposing elements of harmony and rhythm against each other, portraying a sense of musical equilibrium.

Escape from Dead Raider’s Hollow
“Escape from Dead Raider’s Hollow” is a fast-paced adventure. Opening quietly, the introduction gradually builds in volume and energy up to a tempo change where the piece takes off and doesn’t relent until the end. Combining rhythms of 3 over a pulse of 2 creates a hemiola effect that drives the piece forward, creating a feeling of anxiety and being chased. This is a bombastic, action-packed piece with loud percussive hits, huge brass, and soaring woodwinds that ends with a bang. (2:30)SKU: AL44988 -

Evensong
Evensong is a beautiful ballad in standard song (ABA) form with a brief coda. The lyric nature of the composition offers opportunities to develop the ensemble’s expressive playing with concentration on tone, intonation, balance, and phrasing. The contrasting B section features the woodwind voices and moves through several non-traditional key areas (B, D, C major) before returning to the tonic key (E-flat major) for a varied restatement of the A section. The coda provides a quiet and peaceful conclusion. (3:45)SKU: AL29482 -
