Ghosts of the Taman Negara
This original composition is based on a wildlife research study which took place in Malaysia’s largest national park, the Taman Negara. Researchers embarked on an expedition in the jungle tracking that wildest of wild animals, the tiger. Despite spending nearly three years in the rainforest, the researchers never saw a single tiger, hence the “ghost” aspect of the title. The composer’s intent in this composition is to take you on an expedition tour and emulate the experience of the jungle. The work is characterized with mysterious melodic themes intertwined with exciting bold flashes of sound. Ghosts of Taman Negara is an embracing and emotional addition to the young band literature from the pen of Victor López.SKU: AL24740 -

Gizmo
Look up the word “Gizmo,” and you will find references to its origin in the slang used by United States Marines and Navy personnel when referring to a “gadget” of unknown origin or design. Ralph Ford’s inventive work for your first-year players uses a ratchet in the percussion section to musically depict a gizmo. Great fun! (1:30)SKU: AL35335 -

Glacier Bay
Inspired by the majestic Alaskan landscape, Glacier Bay provides plenty of opportunities for dynamic and expressive playing by the young musicians. Following a brief introduction, the main theme is presented first by the trumpets and then by the low brass and trumpets in a lively and flowing manner. The active syncopated accompaniment patterns in the low brass and woodwinds provide an effective contrast to the melody. The B section of the piece moves smoothly into a stately, alla breve tempo with a clarinet choir making the first presentation of the melody. Following a very peaceful conclusion to the B section, an abbreviated restatement of the A section melody leads to the dynamic ending.SKU: AL24664 -

Glaciers
Five musical vignettes demonstrating this wonder of nature are joined to create this refreshing new work. Opening with sounds that conjure the image of formations, Glaciers builds to grandiose proportions. As the work develops, listeners are drawn to the destruction of the massive ice structure as it crashes to the sea below and concludes with vivid musical imagery signaling the battle for the glacier’s survival and the beginning of the cycle once again. A stunning addition to the concert band repertoire! (5:18)SKU: AL29604 -

Glen Crossing
This delightful piece is the perfect opener for developing bands. Of the piece, the composer writes, “My dog loves to take walk with our son, and she is always very excited to experience anything and everything on their journeys together. Glen Crossing contains melodies that revealed themselves to me on my walks with Hershey, and hopefully it portrays the fun and joy that ‘Hershey and her boy’ have every day, rollicking through the neighborhood.”SKU: AL33830 -
