Concert Band - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1370325 Composed by John McAllister. 21st Century,Contest,Festival,Instructional,March,Patriotic. 58 pages. John McAllister #954701. Published by John McAllister (A0.1370325). Compton Bridge Road is a musical journey inspired by the scenic drive along Compton Bridge Road in Inman, South Carolina. The undulating hills stretching endlessly beneath the warm embrace of the setting sun served as the impetus for this composition. Written for the Chapman High School Band, the march captures the essence of the picturesque landscape surrounding the school.The piece is loosely characterized as a pastoral march, reflecting the intention to infuse harmonies and melodies that resonate with the spirit of Americana. Drawing inspiration from how Aaron Copland's music mirrors the landscapes it depicts, the composition aims to create a sonic representation of the visual beauty of Inman.Not adhering strictly to traditional march conventions, the piece incorporates a lush trio section, enhancing the overall sense of grandeur and tranquility. While Compton Bridge Road may deviate from the conventional march style, it remains a valuable educational tool, providing opportunities for students to explore different musical elements and forms within the context of a march. This composition offers a refreshing perspective, allowing musicians to expand their understanding of the genre while maintaining essential march style and structure.

SATB choir and piano or brass quintet and percussion - Medium - Digital Download SKU: MQ.8476-E Composed by Gwyneth W. Walker. 21st Century, Americana, Baptism, Faith, Folk Song. Downloadable piano/choral score. 13 pages. Duration 3 minutes, 30 seconds. E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital #8476-E. Published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.8476-E). English.Down to the River to Pray originates as an American gospel song with a simple message of faith and baptism, going 'down to the river.' However, it is thought that the song was composed by a slave, with reference to the river and the 'starry crown' (North Star) as a route and guide to freedom. Usually the song is performed a cappella, and slowly, prayerfully. However, the walking aspect of the lyrics might suggest a different approach – one of swing rhythm in duple meter. Here the focus is on the journey, the joy of the pilgrimage, and the hope for freedom. The accompaniment (either piano, or brass and percussion) plays a featured role, especially as rhythmic force. The song now becomes one of triumphant progression, hastening on the 'good old way!'-Gwyneth WalkerDuration: 3:30.

Soprano voice and tenor voice soli, SATB choir unaccompanied - Moderately Difficult - Digital Download SKU: MQ.8323-E Composed by David Conte. Advanced/Collegiate. Secular, 21st Century, Americana, Children, Creation/Nature, Hope/Assurance. Instrument part. 9 pages. Duration 5 minutes, 42 seconds. E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital #8323-E. Published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.8323-E). UPC: 600313483233. English. The three a cappella choral pieces that comprise “A Whitman Triptych†were composed between 2012 and 2014. O Setting Sun was commissioned by the Madison Chamber Choir, Madison, Wisconsin, Anthony Cao, conductor, and was premiered on April 20th, 2012. “What is the Grass†was composed for Cappella SF, Ragnar Bohlin, conductor, and is being premiered on tonight’s concert. Facing West was commissioned in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge by the International Orange Chorale, Zane Fiala, conductor, and was premiered on May 27th, 2012. I first set Whitman to music in 1986,when I adapted part of “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed†as the basis for my composition “Invocation and Dance.†I went on to set “Good-Bye, My Fancy†for Male Chorus and Soprano Saxophone in 1992, and “Song of the Open Road†for Mixed Chorus and Piano in 2004. Like so many composers, I have found the visionary quality of Whitman’s verse inspiring; the vigor and intensity of the poetry seem naturally to draw out music. Facing West is drawn from the Children of Adam book from Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass. The full title of the poem is Facing West From California's Shores. Though Whitman never visited California, his biographer Justin Kaplan made the insightful observation that he imagined California's shores to be the starting point for a journey through time and culture. Here was Walt, 'a child, very old,' facing home again, looking over to it, joyous, as after long travel, growth, and sleep, asking: 'But where is what I started for, so long ago?/And why is it yet unfound?' The invitation from the International Orange Chorale to compose a piece in honor of the 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge led me easily and naturally to this great poem. The tone of Facing West is rich and complex, and draws on one of Whitman's favorite themes of using travel to distant lands as a metaphor for spiritual development. In his poem, Whitman strikes notes of reflection, of longing for adventure, and ultimately ends with a question. The continuing relevance of this question is for me beautifully addressed by the contemporary American writer Edmund White in his 1980 book States of Desire. To paraphrase somewhat, White writes: California is where dreams may come true, and the problem it presents is whether, after all, we wanted these particular dreams to be fulfilled - or would we have preferred others? Did we know what price these dreams would exact? Did we anticipate the ways in which they would unsuit us for the business of daily life? Or should our notion of daily life itself be transformed? For Americans, California's coast is as far as one can go in establishing new roots and new ways of living. As a transplanted Midwesterner who has made California his home for nearly three decades, I experience the Golden Gate Bridge as a beautiful monument to the aspirations and dreams of a restless and inventive people, qualities that Whitman's poem captures perfectly. -David ConteDuration: 5:42

Concert Band - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1324133 Composed by Traditional. Arranged by John McAllister. Contemporary,Contest,Festival,Folk,Multicultural,Spiritual,World. 55 pages. John McAllister #912325. Published by John McAllister (A0.1324133). Down to the River is a traditional American spiritual deeply rooted in the African-American religious tradition. In this arrangement for young concert band, the music is taken on a journey through multiple settings, evoking a sense of Americana throughout.The piece commences with melodic and harmonic elements that delicately capture the beauty of a calmly flowing river. This tranquil texture becomes a recurring motif, weaving its way through various sections of the ensemble. As the arrangement unfolds, listeners are taken through different treatments of the main melodic line, each iteration offering a new perspective on the source material.A noteworthy moment arises in the third setting of the main theme, where the melodic line is deconstructed, giving rise to a completely new theme. This inventive twist adds a layer of intrigue and creativity, demonstrating the transformative potential of musical expression. The deconstructed theme gradually reassembles, leading the ensemble to a triumphant climax.Throughout the arrangement, young musicians are given the opportunity to explore expressive playing, dynamic contrasts, and collaborative interplay. The piece serves not only as a musical exploration but also as an educational experience, encouraging the development of ensemble cohesion and individual musicianship.
