Henry V was born in Monmouth in 1387, giving this wonderful overture its historical title. Bring a piece of history with a modern twist to your concert program. Duration: 4:30.

UPC: 688670220364. Latin. Genesis 20:13; Numbers 11:17.
Written for the Enchanted Voices CD, this is one of many settings of texts either from the Beatitudes (or springing from them) available from this composer. For Solo and SS divisi, a cappella, the music has a light, ethereal feeling. ââ¬ÅBeatiââ¬Â can be taken as a sort of ââ¬ÅBlessed are theyââ¬Â prefix for the movements which are not direct quotes from the Beatitudes. This movement is a unison, chant-like setting of the Latin texts for Genesis 20:13 (ââ¬ÅThou shalt do me this kindnessââ¬Â¦Ã¢â¬Â) and Numbers 11:17 (ââ¬ÅAnd I will take of thy spiritââ¬Â). The soloist begins and sometimes takes over from the choral voices. Mostly unison except for about ten measures (out of the 69) in two-part texture and four measures in three parts. Duration 4:39

Set for SATB voices, a soprano or tenor soloist, and piano, Goodallââ¬â¢s original text is a promise of constancy from one person to another. Through many kinds of situations and circumstances it is assured that ââ¬ÅWeââ¬â¢ll walk together stride by stride.ââ¬Â The choral parts are homophonic and approachable, the piano part a bit challenging (there is one section which is essentially a beautiful piano solo with the chorus accompanying on a neutral syllable). An uplifting piece suitable for school, community, or professional choruses.

An uplifting tone poem for band, this one is a truly beautiful expression built upon rich texture and artfully-phrased melody. From a simple hymn-like opening, the piece builds relentlessly to an intense and inspiring finale. James L. Hosay is one of the modern concert band's literature's great composers of melody. So often modern band pieces are built upon a couple of simple ostinato figures at the expense of any real extended thematic material. It is indeed refreshing and rewarding to have a beautiful melody to play. Play it!

No Place Like Home, The Flight of the Bumblebee and The Arkansas Traveler (the âbumblebee songâ) combine to make this trombone feature unlike any you've tried before. It's a good idea to occasionally give the trombone section a little time in the limelight, and it's also a good idea for your band to have some fun. This one works on both levels.
