This new original paso doble was commissioned by the Richmond Hill Middle School Band, Richmond Hill, Georgia. It provides an opportunity for young bands to perform this popular traditional classic Spanish march style. (Paso Doble literally means two-step.) This is the music of the bull fight, and of the civic celebrations in the Spanish community, and is one of the classic types of marches that bands and their audiences have enjoyed for many generations. While this work is in the style of the great professional bands of Spain, it is readily playable by young bands.

This fresh, innovative setting of the well-known hymn Oh Come, Oh Come Emmanuel begins with a stirring brass fanfare leading into a quiet, meditative setting of the hymn. A series of developments utilizing different voicings, rhythmic treatment and harmonic development follow. This most appealing treatment then concludes with a return of the brass fanfare for a brilliant finale.

This is an unusually effective, powerful setting of the 16th century melody Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming, harmonized by Michael Praetorius. A chorale-like setting in the center section adds to the drama of this work.

Based on one of England's most beloved folksongs, this symphonic treatment opens with a bold brass fanfare and proceeds through variations utilizing the full spectrum of tonalities and colors of the modern wind band. This is sure to be a concert highlight.

Ghouls, ghosts and goblins try their best to dance their Halloween night away, but try as they may, it just doesn't turn out right. This quirky tune lets your band frighten and delight your audience with screams, blaring noises and an odd sense of waltz time (3/4 and 2/4 mixed meter). It gives you a great chance to teach mixed meter, and gives your students something really fun to play!

One of the most loved Christmas songs, I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day is presented in a new setting which intersperses snippets of Jingle Bells and Joy to the World. The audience will want to sing along with this great seasonal classic.

The pageantry and ceremony of the Olympic Games are brought to the fore in this bold work. The excitement of this event makes for an upbeat moment in your concert program.
