	Aspirations Reggie Rogers Sample	CO10008	This piece features an 8 bar melody and a contrasting countermelody that are varied in both melody and timbre.

	Bellerophon's Ride Clancy Weeks Sample	CO10013	Bellerophon was a hero of Greek mythology, who, while riding upon Pegasus, slew the Chimera.

Cappeau was asked to write a Christmas poem by a parish priest, and over the years it has become a standard modern carol. This setting for band removes some of the obstacles found in most band arrangements of this work, and leaves only the pure warmth of the original. Playable by almost any level of high school ensemble.	$50.00	3
	The Joker's Revenge Clancy Weeks Sample	MA10121	The second in a series of three marches for young band. This is the most difficult of the three, but still completely playable by most groups.	$45.00	3
	To Touch the Wind Clancy Weeks Sample	CO10123	Dedicated to the memory of Julie Gilstrap, a student who was taken long before her time. The melody for this piece comes from an old Celtic ballad “Down by the Sally Gardens,” but the title comes from the quote by naturalist Hal Borland : “There are no limits to either time or space, only those such as man may make for himself. I have but to touch the wind to know these things.”	$50.00	3
	Tres Pasitos Rick Glascock Sample	MA10087	This unique Spanish-style march features a flute solo and clarinet soli. The piece is carefully crafted to be performed by most instrumental groups. Every band should play at least one paso doble... and this is the one!	$40.00	3

	Wildcat, The Rob Tucker Sample	MA10151	Concert March.	$35.00	3
	Black Water Scenes Kenneth Booker 1. Oil Branch 2. Cypress 3. Bleakwood	CO10104	This four-movement programmatic work depicts the sights and sounds in and around the “black water” areas of East Texas. Listen carefully, and you’ll even hear the birds in the trees.	$70.00	4
	Gaelic Suite, A Clancy Weeks 1. St. Anne's Reel 2. An Paistin Fionn 3. March	ME10154	(Woodwind Choir) Commissioned by Mike Boninsegna for the North Shore High School Band in Galena Park, Texas, and dedicated to Miss Ellie Cleveland. It is a collection of Irish folk tunes in three movements; or, as the composer likes to say "Two tasty cookies wrapped around a lush velvety center." Good enough to eat!	$30.00	4
	Grigsby's Bluff Clancy Weeks Sample	ME10152	Brass choir in honor of the original settlement later incorporated as the city of Port Neches.	$20.00	4
	Perpetual Motion Clancy Weeks Sample	CO10005	The title of this piece indicates that the opening melody should be thought of as a continuous unbroken line from start to finish. Each section of the ensemble (with the exception of the trombones) take their turns with the melody, with numerous solos sprinkled throughout. A little polymeter and polytonality add to the interest and excitement of this band and audience pleaser.	$80.00	4
	Suite for Band Kenneth Booker 1. Awakening 2. Waiting 3. Exulting	CO10096	One of Ken’s best works—each movement is beautifully self-contained.	$70.00	4
	Variation Suite Clancy Weeks 1. Passacaglia 2. Interlude 3. Scherzo	CO10002	With just a couple of exceptions, every melody in this suite is based on the sixteen measure opening theme of the first movement. The second movement features soprano saxophone (though cued for oboe or clarinet) with a beautifully lyrical melody, while the third movement is a toe-tapper from start to finish! Don’t tell anyone, but even though the third movement is titled Scherzo, it’s really just a 6/8 da capo march--with a twist!	$80.00	4
	Areopagus Clancy Weeks Sample	CO10006	Areopagus was the supreme tribunal of ancient Athens that would meet on the hill of the same name. The form of the piece is a standard classical rondo, and the melodic material is primarily modal. The middle section features French horns, while the return of the opening theme is sparked by the percussion section. The coda is a rollicking tour-de-force of overlapping themes, keys, and meters. Great fun for the entire band!	$95.00	5
	Cripple Creek Clancy Weeks 1. Poverty Gulch 2. A Chuisla Mo Chroi 3. Mining the Mollie Kathleen	CO10162	In the summer of 1891 Bob Womack discovered gold in the Cripple Creek region of Colorado near Colorado Springs, setting off the Cripple Creek Gold Rush. In his euphoria (otherwise known as a drunken stupor) he sold his claim for $500 in cash. By the fall of 1891 the Cripple Creek Gold Camp had grown up around the area and was teeming with hopeful miners. The first movement of this work, Poverty Gulch (so named because Bob Womack had search the area for 12 years without ever finding gold), is a depiction of one woman’s accidental discovery in that area (while elk watching, of all things) of a particularly rich vein—ending with her sneaking back to town with her hidden samples to stake a claim. A Chuisla Mo Chroi (the pulse of my heart) is an impression of the prospector’s emotions as they search for their heart’s desire. There is a longing and heartache that all prospectors feel—sometimes for the strike they never make, or for the girl they left behind. Mining the Mollie Kathleen is more march than jig. It is a simple description of the elation all prospectors must feel when they make that first discovery of gold.	$90.00	5
	On Infinity's Shore Clancy Weeks Sample	CO10012	This exciting work begins with a sparkling mass of sound from the upper woodwinds and mallet percussion. The first five notes in the flutes outline the basic motif from which the entire work is derived. The recapitulation is the reverse of the beginning, creating a bow-form ABCBA with an extended coda that sprints all the way to the end!	$70.00	5
	Sonata for Tuba and Piano Kenneth Booker Movement 1 Movement 2 Movement 3	SO10153		$15.00	5
	Washington Fanfare Clancy Weeks	ME10149	Brass choir composed for the Dallas Wind Symphony Brass.	$25.00	5
	Where Heroes Are Forged Clancy Weeks Sample	CO10150	Dedicated to Leo Weeks and the other surviving members of the last brave crew of the U.S.S. Franklin (CV-13). This World War II aircraft carrier, known as "Big Ben" and "The Ship That Wouldn't Die," is still the most decorated ship in the U.S. Navy and boasts two Congressional Medal of Honor winners. This work for band is a series of impressions of the life of that great ship and her fearless crew.	$75.00	5
