Symphonic Band (Medium to Medium Difficult)
Carnival
|
Paul Basler
|
|
A rollicking romp that will keep a good high school or college band on its toes, Carnival is a tribute to the sights and sounds of the small town American carnival. The few points of repose in this dynamic piece are opportunities to catch one's breath amid the joyous bustle of a superb and imaginatively scored piece by a rising star of the American musical scene.

Haleakala (House of the Sun)
|
Carl Strommen
|
|
Named for a volcano on the Hawaiian island of Maui, Haleakala is a boldly conceived and sumptuously scored tribute to the wonder of nature. A series of brilliant fanfares, with prominent use of the brass section, leads to a broad chorale theme for the wind section that soon acquires a noble counter melody from the horn choir. After a splendidly sonorous climax, the fanfare material returns to close the piece in a grand style. This selection will work particularly well as a concert opener.

Tapestries
|
Mike Forbes
|
|
Using the musical styles and forms of the Medieval and Renaissance periods, Mike Forbes has written a striking and powerful three movement suite that is a major addition to serious band literature. The music is entirely original, but the style and approach is similar to such pieces as the Courtly Dances from Gloriana by Benjamin Britten, and makes effective use of the coloristic possibilities of the modern concert band.
