Bernstein's Mass was a monumental 90-minute work written for the opening of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. in 1971.

Blue Lake : Overture for Concert Band

Commissioned by the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp in Michigan and premiered in 1971, this dynamic composition by John Barnes Chance has a unique history. The outer sections of the work feature a rhythmic intensity created in part by Chance's free use of eight-note groupings of 2 and 3. However, when first published, the meter was changed to 4/4 resulting in awkward notation of these figures. Through painstaking research by Carl Bjerregaard, Donald Flickinger, and Myron Welch (all connected with Blue Lake) this revised edition restores the asymmetric meters as the composer originally intended.

Serenity

Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo is an emerging star in the realm of choral works, and also with music for Wind Band. Similar to his earlier band works Meridian and The Spheres, Serenity is based on asuccessful choral work. Beautifully arranged by J. Eric Wilson along with the composer, this version for wind band maintains all the wonder and magic of the original work.The opening is ethereal and somber, withsustained chords in Clarinets and bowed Percussion supporting a delicate Oboe solo. The middle section shifts the principal modality from minor to major, and the layering orchestration and rising tessitura creates a tremendousrushof energy that leads to a triumphant climax. The closing section returns to the timbre of the opening, but now painted with hopefulness and healing.

Dedication For Band

Dedication For Band

Perthshire Majesty

Winner of the 2003 NBA William Revelli Composition Award. A Scottish ballad for wind band, Perthshire Majesty finds its musical roots in the heritage of David Gregory, the conductor who led the premiere. A gentle, elegant work with a broad, cinematic lyricism, Perthshire Majesty evolves with a sense of engaging inevitability.

Echoes

Resonant chimes and sonorous chorales lend a somber but inspiring hue to this work, written to memorialize a band director's passing while celebrating the legacy that all teachers leave for their students. As Hazo writes in the score's preface; “The more we give of ourselves, the more our lives resound.”

Benedictus : from The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace

Karl Jenkins’ “Benedictus”, the penultimate movement from “The Armed Man: a Mass for Peace”, is now firmly established as a classic in its own right. In the words of Guy Wilson, former Master of the Armouries and commissioner of the parent work, “even the survivors can be hurt to destruction by war. The Benedictus heals those wounds in its slow and stately affirmation of faith”.This new publication makes the Benedictus available for performance as a separate work, with piano accompaniment. The score includes the iconic introductory cello solo part on its own page, although performance with cello is optional. The edition is compatible with that in the complete Armed Man vocalscore and therefore with the work’s scorings for orchestra, ensemble, brass band and concert band.
