Epic
This composition for younger and developing musicians allows them to play a dramatic piece that sounds like the soundtrack of an epic motion picture. The main theme is bold and adventuresome while the secondary theme is more reserved and playful. The rhythms and pitches are playable by most first year musicians. Both accessible and bold, this is a terrific choice for festival or concert performance. (2:15)SKU: AL44176 -

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 -

Escape!
Try to picture extracting yourself from a maze with someone closely in pursuit, darting here, there and everywhere as quickly as you could to find a way out of. “Fleet afoot” would be an appropriate way to describe how the music in this piece should be approached—played lightly and with a sense of direction leading to the next phrase or rhythmic pattern. This tuneful and rhythmic offering provides some delightful twists and turns along the way! (3:00)SKU: AL41947 -

Eternal Peaks
A stunning contest or concert work for your young band. This energy-packed original is sure to make your young band sound spectacular. Inspired by Colorado, the land of mountains, in this single flowing composition the intent listener will hear the panoramic beauty of the Colorado sunrise with the Rocky Mountains as the backdrop. The power of the dinosaurs, the menacing sheer angles of jagged rocks and the thunder of ancient drums combine to form the first movement entitled In Stone and Shadow. In contrast, Twilight seeks to capture the majestic yet delicate scenery at perhaps the most beautiful time of the day. The final movement entitled “Avalanche” brings together musical and visual imagery to the most powerful of conclusions.SKU: AL24731 -

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 -

Excerpts from The Rite of Spring
