Pulsation
Written entirely in one tempo, but with the meter alternating between 4/4 and 6/8 throughout, Richard Saucedo creates an ingenious effect of pulsating motion along with layers of textures and sounds. Starting with a soloistic dialogue between flute and clarinet the work progresses to thicker sonorities and percussive effects including clapping and shouting. Definitely an enjoyable work that is off the beaten path! Dur: 2:35 (Grade 2-1/2)SKU: HL04002865 -

Pure Imagination (from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory)
With its message of endless possibilities and dreams fulfilled, this piece, from the 1971 Academy-award nominated film score of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964), by songwriting team Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley, has remained popular since the 1970s—and even more so today, or so says the more than 5.5 million views on YouTube. The tune surfaces three times in the movie, first during the opening title music, then as the feature number by Gene Wilder as he leads his assembled golden ticket winners into the chocolate room, and finally, as part of the “Wonkavator” music at the end. Great fun for all generations, and all generations to come! This arrangement provides a dramatic opportunity to teach expression. A charming and musical choice, it is memorable and heartwarming.

Total and extreme development of a four-note motif was the catalyst for the creative seed. Including some contemporary compositional techniques woven within beautiful soaring melodic material generates a highly effective overture. This ‘romp’ grows into a full ensemble, rich with floating and flowing variations. The finale builds in tempo and grandeur taking our familiar theme and swirling it into a rousing and vibrant conclusion. A sure winner! (5:15)SKU: AL30800 -

Quintero
This exciting new piece from Steve Hodges begins with a chorale-type introduction that leads to a dynamic opening statement by the low brass. The main theme is legato to contrast with the busy percussion section. A secondary theme, introduced by the woodwinds, is followed by the return of the introduction with development. The second theme is then repeated by the woodwinds in a light, jazzy style. This leads to a powerful conclusion where the percussion section drives the full ensemble to a rousing finish.SKU: AL20688 -

Quintilian
Quintilian was inspired by the work of the ancient Roman philosopher and educator of the same name, who set forth the original seven liberal arts as the ideal curriculum for educated citizens. After a stirring Roman style fanfare, Mr. Smith uses a quintal theme in both harmony and rhythm to propel the work through its development to a highly dramatic conclusion. This work deserves your close attention! Riveting. (2:38)SKU: ALBD9860 -
