Chorale Variants
“Chorale Variants” is cast more as a fantasia than a set of variations. The woodwind flourishes purposely infer what an organist might play while improvising on a chorale theme, and the full dynamic power of the wind band brings the piece to a passionate and vibrant close.SKU: AL46673 -

Choreography
Choreography was commissioned by the 2008 ATSSB All-State Band by the Association of Texas Small School Bands. Written in overture form, the piece draws its inspiration from dance movements found in contemporary stage, ballet and theatrical productions. The piece opens with fast-paced angular gestures accompanied by rapid rhythmical punctuations before yielding to a contrasting lyrical section with long, flowing lines and many opportunities for expressive playing. The infectious beat patterns and memorable melodic content combine to make this an excellent concert opener. (5:33)SKU: AL31724 -

Chorus Angelorum
This poignant and moving work musically tells the tale of a chorus of angels (chorus angelorum) as they accompany two souls to the next world. Composed as a memorial piece, the music evolves from the initial “angels’ song,” their journey to heaven, and their return to comfort those who mourn. The voice parts (performed on a synthesizer or by real voices) add an ethereal quality to this wonderful work. Dur: 6:25 (Grade 3-1/2)Audio recorded by the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Wind Ensemble – Jack Stamp, conductor
