Concerto No. 1 (for Wind Orchestra)
Commissioned for the 2016 South Carolina All-State High School Band, Concerto No. 1 is a spectacular showcase for the entire ensemble rather than just a single soloist. Throughout this dynamic work the entire ensemble is featured, although there are also “concerto” type moments for solo instruments as well as chamber groups. The horns are also featured prominently throughout the piece. Dur: c. 8:45(Recorded by the 2016 South Carolina Senior All-State Band, Richard L. Saucedo conducting)

Dedication for Band
American composer Joseph Turrin is acclaimed for his work with symphony orchestras, classical performers, theater and film as well as his works for school bands. With Dedication for Band he brings a significant addition to the repertoire for mature ensembles. The work is based on five melodic ideas that reoccur throughout the piece, including an opening fanfare that introduces the main theme. With a concentration on climactic tension and expansiveness, this is a masterful and dynamic composition for band. Dur: c. 9:00(Recorded by the Florida State University Wind Orchestra – Rick Clary, conductor)

Destino Re-Immaginare (A Fantasy on Motifs of G. Verdi)
The overture to Giuseppe Verdi’s 1862 opera La Forza del Destino (The Power of Fate) has remained standard repertoire for orchestras around the world. In this imaginative work for winds, Jay Bocook pays homage to the mastery of Verdi and begins with the ominous 3-note “fate” theme from the overture. Throughout the piece melodies are recast and harmonies are embellished, culminating in an exhilarating conclusion where the final seven bars quote Verdi’s original almost identically. A brilliant addition to the wind band repertoire.SKU: HL04006124 -

Down to the Sea in Ships (from the NBC TV Film Project 20)
An outgrowth of NBC’s 1952 successful tele-documentary Victory at Sea, was Project 20 two years later: a 30-episode series that was scored completely by Robert Russell Bennett. The episode, called “Down to the Sea in Ships,” utilized this score that initially aired in December of 1968. The magic of the sea, the beauty of ships, and fascination for the men who sail them, are fully explored in this five-movement epic work that relies heavily on sea shanties and folk material. In regarding the work in Bennett’s own words, it “had a lot to tell us about our struggles, triumphs, and defeats on the mighty ocean.” The movements are titled; “The Way of the Ship,” “Mists and Mystery,” “Songs of the Salty Air,” “Waltz of the Clipper Ships,” and “Finale, Introducing the S.S. Eagle March.” This fresh, carefully edited concert band transcription has been extensively researched and will be a cherished addition to serious band literature for generations to come.

Eviler Elves
Using the creative imagery of mischevious and somewhat sinister elves, James Kazik plays tricks on the ears with this innovative composition. Rich with dark and gritty sonorities, Eviler Elves will make a stunning yet entertaining addition to any concert program. Dur: 4:00“Creatively scored, the somewhat ominous piece uses changing meters, a variety of interesting timbres, and appropriately difficult lines for each section.”–The Instrumentalist

Fanfare and Allegro
This brilliant work was the first composition to be honored with the Ostwald award for original band literature presented by the American Bandmasters Association in 1956. Beginning with a dynamic flourish leading directly into the allegro section, the familiar rhythmic intricacies enhance the impressive nature of the work. A monumental contribution to the literature.

Finale from Symphony No. 1 (Revised Edition)
The skillful concert band transcriptions of the late Glenn Cliffe Bainum have proven to be a standard by which others are measured. This transcription is one of Mr. Bainum’s most monumental works. Vasily Kalinnikov, a contemporary of Tchaikovsky, died prematurely at 35 just as he was establishing himself as one of the great Russian composers. Originally published in 1958, this new edition features a revised full score and parts for optional antiphonal brass choirs. Dur: ca. 9:00SKU: HL04002975 -

Foundation
Foundation is a true tour-de-force for the modern symphonic band that incorporates the hymn Be Still, My Soul (better known as Finlandia by Jean Sibelius). The traditional American hymn How Firm a Foundation is also woven into the work to create a masterful and powerful composition that is destined to become standard of the band repertoire.SKU: AL26844 -

Free Running
Free Running is an exciting, high velocity tour-de-force that will keep both musicians and the audience on the edge of their seats. Inspiration for the work came from the pointillistic paintings of Seurat (who created images by using tiny spots of primary colors on his canvas) and from Parkour, a form of urban acrobatics in which participants, known as free runners, use the structures of the rural landscape to perform catlike leaps and sprints. The resulting creation is a non-stop piece of music made up of only staccato notes in a constant rhythm moving through different sections of the ensemble. Free Running was commissioned by the Troy University Symphony Band for the 2011 Alabama Music Educators Association Convention. Ideal for concert or festival use, it is guaranteed to leave the audience breathless! Dur: 5:10Recorded by the Troy University Symphony Band – Ralph Ford, conductor

Gloriana
Commissioned by Furman University for the inauguration of its 12th president, Jay Bocook’s Gloriana is based on “The Faerie Queene,” an incomplete English epic poem written by Edmund Spenser and dedicated to Queen Elizabeth I. In the poem, Queen Elizabeth is represented as the faerie queene herself, Gloriana. This stately work for winds and percussion has a regal quality enhanced by soaring melodies and punctuated with fanfare-like brass figures. The optional organ part provides an added dimension to the overall uplifting effect. Dur: 3:20(Recorded by the Furman University Wind Ensemble – Leslie Hicken, conductor)
