Celebration of Life is an evocative grade 3 composition that uses characteristic melodies to depict aspects of Jewish culture. A special feature of the work is the inclusion of sung passages which express both the painful suffering and joyful hope that have been part of the history of the Jewish people. Originally written for Sydney, Australia's Moriah College High School Concert Band and their Roberta Goot, composer Ralph Hultgren's newly-edited version is a significant addition to the intermediate concert band repertoire.

Matterhorn Overture uses angular melodic lines, colorful harmonies, exciting rhythms and bold dynamic contrasts to create musical impressions of the Alps' mighty Matterhorn. Through a creative combination of these and many other devices, the composer gives this accessible work a mature sound, making it an ideal selection for young band festival or concert performance.

Renaissance Rock and Courtly Dance, two contrasting selections, are optional beginning recorder features that can by played with or without the solo recorder part. Both compositions are also published separately for string orchestra (Kjos-SO241). The concert band and the string orchestra versions can be performed together. This is the perfect opportunity to feature recorder classes with the band and/or string orchestra to recruit new band and orchestra members. Also great for a mass festival finale! Renaissance Rock and Courtly Dance also appear on pages 27 and 47, respectively, in the Recorder Excellence method book by Bruce Pearson and Wendy Barden, published by the Neil A. Kjos Music Company.
