October 6, 200916 yr Yikes! Can't believe I left out the two Holst Suites! I'm dissapointed in myself. Also, Southern Harmony by Donald Grantham Waking Angels by David Gillingham Give Us This Day by David Maslanka Niagra Falls by Michael Daugherty (ran out of David's) Red Cape Tango by Michael Daugherty Any movement of The Divine Comedy by Robert W. Smith Fusion by Brian Balmages In Wartime by David del Tredici Hammersmith: Prelude and Scherzo by Gustav Holst Symphony No. 1, "My Hands Are a City" by Jonathan Newman Slalom by Carter Pann Symphonic Dance No. 3 "Fiesta" by Clifton Williams La Fiesta Mexican by H. Owen Reed I Wander the World in a Dream of My Own Making by Christopher Theofanidis (there's a moutful..) Vientos y Tangos by Michael Gandolfi Suite Dreams by Steven Bryant (would go exactly behind Holst's Suite in Eb for obvious reasons..) Eternal Father, Strong to Save by Claude T. Smith Ecstatic Waters by Steven Bryant (you'll need an electronics set up, but it's well worth it.) Ok, so I kind of like wind ensemble music. This should keep you busy for a while though.

October 6, 200916 yr Anything Alfred Reed. Particularly Armenian Dances. Amazing! And.. a not very well known piece, Vigils Keep, by Julie Giroux. Amazing. It's a 5, we played it at festival and got a 1+ a few years back. Gustav Holst's two suites for military band. Molly on the Shore by Grainger is also amazing.
October 6, 200916 yr Sorry to keep on, but I keep getting reminded of new pieces. Alfred Reed's First Suite for Band, especially the last movement. (It makes for an excellent finish to any concert.) To Walk With Wings by Julie Giroux Solas Ane by Samuel Hazo Anahita by Roshanne Etezady Shadow Dance by David Dzubay A Movement for Rosa by Mark Camphouse Ok. I promise I'll stop now. At least for tonight. Price Walden

October 10, 200916 yr Most pieces by Alfred Reed or James Curnow hit a certain sweet spot in the literature. I played an arrangement of Holst's Jupiter that I would consider cool. John Mackey's great, Maslanka (although he's so long-winded), and of course Grainger. Ticheli's hip. Joseph Schwantner and his mountains that rise nowhere... I don't think anyone's mentioned Whitacre's Godzilla Eats Las Vegas!
