A Klezmer Wedding by Mike Curtis is a set of four dances, newly-composed but based on traditional models. The Doina is an expressive chant for three successive soloists; it twists and turns with the wailing lament of a shepherd's pipe. Next follows the Hora, a slow Rumanian dance in three with a mood that reflects the wedding's solemn vows. A Chusidl, with a moderate speed and bouncy rhythms, gets the party to the dance floor. The concluding Freylach (happy, but still in a minor key) takes the bride, groom, and guests to the edge of frenzy.

Berserkers were special warriors common to the Vikings and the ancient Celtic tribes who would work themselves into a frenzy with mead, mushrooms and hyperventilation to achieve performances of ferocious courage in battle. Although deadly in combat, the berserking process was paradoxically a suicidal one since, having lost their senses, they were vulnerable to a more stealthy attack. The initial burst of inspiration for this work came in 1989 after watching a soccer game in which Celtic Glasgow turned in a characteristically passionate, frenzied but ultimately futile display against Partizan Belgrade. But whatever the genesis of the piece, it is essentially abstract. The relationship between soloist and orchestra changes from section to section. In the opening fast music they are in argument and opposition most of the time, each striving to dominate. In the slow middle section the piano is very much to the fore and in the final quick section they become equal partners.

In 1975, a new dance form took the Latin-Amercan areas of the Bronx by storm. After observing the frenzy of the dancers in that area, Van McCoy composed a melody that successfully took its basis from Latin and R&B. The Hustle was an instant success and made a large contribution to the evolution of disco music in the 1970's. Your band will not be able to resist the fantastic groove and drive of this evergreen disco hit, fantastically arranged by Lorenzo Bocci.Im Jahr 1975 schrieb Van McCoy, inspiriert von einem neuen Tanzstil der lateinamerikanischen Jugend in der Bronx, eine prickelnde Melodie, in welcher der unwiderstehliche Latin-Beat und Rhythm and Blues mit der verführerischen Einladung Do it, do the hustle“ verschmolz. Das Lied und der Tanzstil eroberten die Diskotheken auf der ganzen Welt. Lorenzo Boccis Bearbeitung ist ebenso packend wie das Original. Ihr Publikum wird die Tanzlust packen! En 1975, une nouvelle forme de danse faisait fureur parmi la jeunesse latinoaméricaine des quartiers sud du Bronx. Après avoir observé la frénésie des danseurs, Van McCoy compose une mélodie crépitante qui évolue sur des éléments de musique latine et de R&B.

The work is based on a tune called The Nag written by the jazz guitarist/composer John Scofield, of whom I have long been a fan and with whom I worked closely when writing Blood on the Floor (Mark-Anthony Turnage). 'The grim frenzy, the waste and the futility of war are all embedded in Silent Cities.' (The Times).

Inspired by cyclones, this original work provides a fresh and contemporary musical experience. Opening with the calm before the storm, the frenzy grows with aggressive musical punctuations and transitions peacefully in the aftermath with a heroic final statement. Dynamic with plenty of fury, this composition is remarkably different and powerful. (3:00).

This work for advanced band was commissioned by the Tennessee Valley Winds to celebrate the group's 30th anniversary. The piece begins quietly with clarinet solo, then quickly moves to a celebratory section in 12/8 meter. The main melody is stated in many different voices as it steadily builds to a moment of controlled frenzy. A brief lyrical section features an expressive style and also a moment of glory for the entire woodwind choir. The work concludes with a return to the vibrant and enthusiastic flavor of the opening. Powerful and impressive writing for mature groups! Duration: 5:10.

This piece was written as an introduction to the key of D minor and to the low second finger in the upper strings. Hopefully your students will enjoy the dark melody and feel the frenzy of the driving eighth notes, especially in the lower strings. The orchestra passes through the eye of the storm in mm. 17-39, but tension builds again in m. 40 as the original melody returns for a stormy finish!

Ye Olde English Hunt comes to life through this colorful and humorous musical portrait. The opening pastoral scene is augmented with bird whistles, duck calls, and whatever wildlife your percussion section can conjure up. A series of trumpet calls, followed by a chorus of A Hunting We Will Go leads us into the frenzy of the hunt, complete with barking dogs and the galloping of horse hooves. Great fun for the band and especially your audience, this is a lighter, tongue in cheek selection for all.

Equinox was written in late 2011 as a showcase for the euphonium quartet Euphony, who gave the premiere at the opening concert of the 'Festival of Brass' at the Royal Northern College of Music in January 2012. Since then, Euphony have played the work extensively, including a performance at the International Tuba Euphonium Conference in June 2012, at the Brucknerhaus Concert Hall in Linz, Austria. The word 'equinox' is derived from the Latin aequi (equal) and nox (night). It is the name given to the twice-yearly occasion when the earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the sun, so that day and night are of the same duration. With this in mind I structured the work from two thematic groups, consisting of sections of equal length. The first, which is heard after a brief introduction, is marked Energico, and its character is marked by sustained, lyrical lines unfolding over an accompaniment of rapid and deftly articulated rhythmical phrases. The second section, slow and expressive, offers the strongest contrast both in mood and tempo. By a further association of ideas, this sharp distinction of material could be thought of as representing the frenzy of daytime in comparison with the tranquillity of night. In the third and final section, figures from both the preceding sections are brought together in a vigorous finale, the interplay of the four parts intended to demonstrate the capabilities of the euphonium to the full. Equinox was the winning entry in the 2012 Stainer & Bell Award for Brass Composition, held at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama.
