Cry of the Last Unicorn
Intensely descriptive from the very first note, “Cry of the Last Unicorn” portrays a fateful encounter of hunters tracking the “last unicorn.” The music is at times poignant and other times dramatic and exciting as the chase is depicted. Sweeping themes and rich scoring help to make this a memorable work for the symphonic stage. Dur: 7:00 (Grade 4)SKU: HL50490420 -

Cumberland Cross
You’ll really get a nice sound with this one! Carl’s original work explores the rich American folk style in two sections. The first has broad, moving harmonies under a Shenandoah-like melody, and the second a lively dance reminiscent of Copland. “Cumberland Cross” is not too difficult, yet very impressive!

Discover the Wild (Overture for Band)

Echoes of the Hollow Square Suite of Shaped Note Tunes for Band

In creating this distinctive and attractive setting for band, Johnnie Vinson uses the following traditional shaped note songs: The Morning Trumpet, Hallelujah, I’m Going Home, and Warrenton.

Excerpts from The Rite of Spring
The premier performance of The Rite of Spring in 1913 is the stuff of legend. There was disagreement among the people who attendedas to whether it was the music or the choreography that caused the near-riot in the audience. Since then The Rite has been performed regularly and is considered to be one of the most influential works of the 20th century, laying the basis for modern jazz, film music and even heavy metal. It’s all here: the driving rhythms, haunting Russian folk melodies, brilliant scoring, crunching harmonies and the epic drama! The intention with this arrangement for band was to stay as true as possible to the original and choose the sections that would work well in this context. Sure to become a valued and important addition to the wind band repertoire! Dur: 6:30SKU: HL04004206 -

Fantasy on “Yankee Doodle”
This is a refreshing and exciting work! Yankee Doodle seems like such a simple melody, but it’s amazing how well Mark Williams develops it using a set of variations. Although opened by a humorous statement of the theme by solo tuba, you’ll soon find that this is not a novelty piece . . . the varied styles and moods are displayed in well-written music that is perfectly held together by the original theme. Excellent!SKU: AL12976
