Concert Band, Concert Band Grade: 4
Blue Lake (Overture for Concert Band) Revised Edition
Commissioned by the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp in Michigan and premiered in 1971, this dynamic composition by John Barnes Chance has a unique history. The outer sections of the work feature a rhythmic intensity created in part by Chance’s free use of eight-note groupings of 2 and 3. However, when first published, the meter was changed to 4/4 resulting in awkward notation of these figures. Through painstaking research by Carl Bjerregaard, Donald Flickinger, and Myron Welch (all connected with Blue Lake) this revised edition restores the asymmetric meters as the composer originally intended.

Concert Band, Concert Band Grade: 5
Incantation and Dance
The first published work for band by John Barnes Chance, this landmark composition has remained an important part of the repertoire for more than 50 years. This completely re-engraved “Second Edition” corrects many of the errors from the original printing, and also restores the composer’s important performance note from the manuscript. Featuring a wealth of melodic and rhythmic inventiveness, as well as the innovative treatment of the percussion scoring, Incantation and Dance remains one of the trusted standards in the wind band literature.
