A very nice original march from popular composer Joseph Compello, Guardians of the Banner contains many aspects of a traditional American march but with the developing student in mind. It has an extended introduction, a first strain, second strain, and a break strain followed by a return of the first strain to end the march. There is not the typical modulation to a trio section, making this march much more playable for this level of band. The march is at a more moderate march tempo and contains some really nice melodies, making it a great way to introduce this important style to younger students.

Schickele's new piano quartet was written for the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival (northwest of Seattle), and would have been his very first piano quartet - except that he had forgotten an earlier, unfinished composition. Happily, an unrelated search uncovered the earlier quartet, and Schickele set about cutting, reworking, and re-composing to create Music for Orcas Island. The quartet consists of four complementary movements: I. Spring Sunshine; II. Rainy, with Fog; III. Lively; and IV. Low-lying Clouds. For intermediate to advanced performers. Duration: 13'.

Composer Martin Amlin is also an outstanding pianist, and his pianistic writing shows idiomatic flair and flash honed into remarkable form and expression. PIANO SONATA NO. 6 has no barlines or movement divisions. Opening with the tempo marking “Bold,†the sonata wears its formal mantle as hard as granite, yet interwoven with tenderness, and with expressive lyricism in relief to an unmetered flow not unlike what Ives described as “prose†within his own musical poetry. [ADDITION] Andrew Willis has recorded this powerful sonata for Albany Records, on a CD that also includes the works listed below.
