Five musical vignettes demonstrating this wonder of nature are joined to create this refreshing new work. Opening with sounds that conjure the image of formations, Glaciers builds to grandiose proportions. As the work develops, listeners are drawn to the destruction of the massive ice structure as it crashes to the sea below and concludes with vivid musical imagery signaling the battle for the glacier’s survival and the beginning of the cycle once again. A stunning addition to the concert band repertoire! (5:18)

Dedicated to a principal in celebration of his dedication to the school music program. This original work gleefully demonstrates that dedication with interesting rhythmic flairs intertwined with flowing melodic lines. The work musically depicts the principal’s motto, “work hard, make friends, and have fun!”
