The Rite of Spring

Golden Grove

Embark on this musical road trip on the legendary Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica, including references to the music of its heyday in the 1940s, the quirky attractions, neon signs, and the towns that have since faded following the end of the fabled highway's era. From the opening symphonic fanfare to inspiring jazz and everything in between - including acoustic guitar! - this full production number is guaranteed to bring down the house! (8:00)

Imagine the soundtrack accompanying the formation of Earth's largest natural superstructures. Inspired by the massive rocks and lava rising up to create the tallest mountains, this lively composition juxtaposes moments of calm with volcanic musical outbursts. A profound work to feature powerful brass and percussion sections! (4:00)

Rising from the Earth

Evocative and exciting – transport your audience into a swashbuckling action movie! Twists, turns, and jump cuts, making the music feel like a soundtrack that will ignite your students' imaginations. Positively energetic and highly approachable! (2:00)

Fortune and Glory

Calm waters at sunrise, recreational boaters, beachgoers, and the powerful storms that come ashore – these are the scenes conjured by this musical portrait of a lighthouse. Opening fanfares give way to a carefree melody before an aggressive statement in low voices announces the storm's arrival. A dynamic work. (4:45)

Sentinel

This high-energy yet playful work uses driving, constant eighth notes passed around from section to section. Though it outlines common scale and arpeggio patterns, the sound is quite unique. Subito dynamics, roaring crescendos, and memorable melodies make this an ideal choice for any program! (2:00)

Perpetuoso

Embrace your inner pirate with this hearty shanty that captures the unmistakable swagger of a seaworthy crew.

Incredibly entertaining, fun to play, and full of adventure! (3:15)

Pirattitude

Lucid dreamers drift off to sleep and wake up in a dream where they can fly at will. A slow, enchanting opening gives way to an energetic theme with an engaging rhythmic pulse as the dreamer takes to the skies! An intriguing work! With this flexible arrangement, conductors no longer need to choose between function and texture. Ensembles with instrumentation challenges still have numerous options to cover all parts, yet orchestration is elevated significantly to be faithful to the composer's original intent. Musicians have more opportunities to rest, and timbre once again becomes a central element of the work. It's the best of both worlds: flexible and colorful. (5:10)

Among the Clouds

Tripwire

This eerie composition employs colors and harmonies rarely found at this level. Based on harmonic illusions where notes seem to drift out of context, it introduces low-first fingerings in a pedagogical way, encouraging students to maintain a relaxed wrist. The cello section is introduced to easy backward extensions, and bass players see some simple first-finger shifting. An extremely colorful work full of imagery equally suited as a festival piece or lighter work. (2:15)

Mind Games

Let loose with this highly entertaining funk chart with a ton of attitude! The infectious groove pairs perfectly with a charismatic and highly memorable melody over a kickin' bass line. Amazingly authentic sounding, and certain to be an instant hit with your students and audience!

Rizz

Celebrate the power and beauty of nature! Intensely rhythmic elements are juxtaposed with broad, lyrical lines; sustained phrases suggest awe-inspiring locations that can take one's breath away, yet the rhythmic underscore is a constant reminder of nature's sheer power. A musical whirlwind! (2:10)

Force of Nature

This dynamic fanfare celebrates those willing to take risks in an effort to grow musically, personally, or academically. Powerful melodic statements contrast with shifting tonal centers and pulsating rhythmic hits. Audiences will be stunned by the complexity of the music, yet it is quite accessible to younger players! (1:50)

Fanfare for the Fearless

The plan is set. The team is assembled. Everything is in motion – until one person goes rogue in a brazen attempt to keep everyone else out of harm's way. Will they save the mission, or will they jeopardize the entire team? Only time will tell. A high-stakes adventure with incredible harmonies and colors, yet very playable by first-year students! (1:45)

Going Rogue
