Fair Winds
Reflecting a sailor’s desire for full sails and calm seas, Fair Winds opens with a rhythmic and jaunty theme that is later contrasted with smooth, flowing sections. Throughout the piece, there is an ever-present pulse of forward motion-even during the expressive and lyrical section that precedes a return to the initial thematic material. The piece concludes with winds and percussion joining in a powerful finale. Fair Winds will work well for concert or contest, and will keep performers and audience members fully engaged from first note to last.SKU: AL22269 -

Mysteries of the Kalahari
The discovery of ancient, true-to-life sculptures made without modern tools . . . A ship’s anchor found in the middle of the desert, hundreds of miles from open water . . . The legend of a lost city with a hidden treasure guarded by leopards . . . these are just a few of the mysteries that come from the Kalahari Desert in Africa. With the percussion section setting the pace through a simple yet intriguing 3/4 meter Afro-Cuban rhythmic pattern, Mysteries of the Kalahari evokes a mood that will keep performers and listeners engaged as the musical layers of the story unfold.SKU: AL26811
