Concert Band, Concert Band Grade: 1.5
IronHeart
This work for concert band is inspired by the inner strength that all artists must call on to devote themselves to their craft. The work uses the sounds of a beating heart combined with metallic accents in the mallet percussion, brake drum, and China crash to create a uniquely industrial sound. The melody races through life’s obstacles (represented in an altered scale) before climaxing in a beautiful, triumphant fanfare. (2:25)SKU: AL41935 -

Skygazer Fanfare
Gazing into the sky, one may be overcome with the infinite possibilities of our worlds and, thus, ourselves. It is this sense of wonder and hope that has been captured in “Skygazer Fanfare.” This work for concert band uses syncopated rhythms, layered percussion, and a sense of forward motion to create an exciting soundscape for young musicians. Careful attention has been paid to range and scoring to create a work that is attainable by smaller ensembles while retaining a full sound for larger ensembles as well. (2:20)SKU: AL44175 -

Undecim
“Undecim” is Latin for “eleven,” referring both to the “eleventh hour” (the last opportunity to get something done) and the opening metric feel of the piece (7/8 + 2/4 = 11 eighth notes). This high-energy opener is the perfect way to begin your next concert! (3:15)SKU: AL44208 -

Winds of Change
In recent years, Oklahoma has seen a great increase in the development of wind energy. This development in sustainable energy sources and the winds that flow across the great state serve as the inspiration for this composition. The piece begins by depicting the great open spaces that stretch for miles across the Oklahoma landscape. Small gusts of wind (represented by scalar and arpeggiated passages in the mallets and woodwinds) dance across the landscape. The piece picks up pace as the wind races across the land, turning the turbines and charging towards the future. (5:30)SKU: AL45002 -
