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 -

Legend of the Saura
Commissioned by the South Stokes Band Boosters of North Carolina, Legend of the Saura is a tribute to the Saura Indians who lived in what today is Stokes County. The piece opens with a vibrant flourish of woodwinds and percussion that immediately leads into the pensive yet driving main theme. The contrasting middle section pulls back to a reflective and mysterious solo for recorder (or optional flute), accompanied by exotic percussion instruments. Then, the beautiful theme is continued by solo trumpet, making for a truly incredible moment.SKU: AL19546 -

Mandjiani
Mandjiani is based on a number of compositional techniques common to the music of Africa. Among the techniques employed are “call and response,” layering independent lines to create complex textures, parallel voice leading, diatonic harmonies, and invigorating cross rhythms. Mandjiani is the name of the ostinato rhythmic pattern that appears in the work and persists until the end of the composition.SKU: AL22288
