Concert Band - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.971646 Composed by Jeffrey Hoover. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score and parts. 27 pages. Musicart Publications #4325189. Published by Musicart Publications (A0.971646). This is an 11 x 17 PDF download SCORE for large wind ensemble. A standard Grade 5 work, The Gates of Madrid is inspired by two things found at the heart of Madrid's civic identity: historic stone and iron gateways (such as the Puerta de Hierro from the 18th Century) and Spanish Flamenco music. In this beautiful and challenging composition, the music unfolds as two arching sections, similar in character to a Flamenco song, with shifting meter and contrasts in harmony, dynamics, and tone color. As one takes this musical walk through the streets of Madrid old fanfares are heard, contrasting the intimate Flamenco-like melody that is developed. The Gates of Madrid concludes with a triumphant fanfare. Band performance parts are available on rental: please contact musicart.publications.editor@gmail.com for further information.

Concert Band - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1416143 Composed by Keiron Anderson. Classical,Contemporary. 117 pages. Songburd Music #997830. Published by Songburd Music (A0.1416143). A Single Step takes its inspiration from a familiar and contemporized Chinese proverb, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,� which comes from a revered literary classic written by the notable Chinese philosopher, Laozi.  Giving musical expression to this practical wisdom, A Single Step starts with a simple theme scored sparsely, which gains in momentum and energy as it hastens its pace to an exciting and triumphant conclusion.  It is surely a piece to delight both performers and audiences everywhere as it brings to us images of a mission into space, or a long cattle drive somewhere in the Old West, or perhaps a voyage across the oceans to seek new lands and new beginnings.

Keiron Anderson brings us music for the moment, and perhaps no other moment yet in the 21st Century has revealed the vulnerable nature of humanity, and the interconnectedness of our world more than the COVID-19 pandemic, officially announced on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization.  The True Heroes is a piece that tells a part of the dramatic story of the struggles, heartaches and triumphs of the world’s medical professionals, and all who were a part of the health care industry to whom this piece is dedicated.  Using a dissonance in the chords, structured upon two perfect fifths a semi-tone apart, Anderson opens the story with suddenness and a pushed tempo that conveys an urgency and anxiety about the growing pandemic, and depicts how the health care workers are not people with super-powers, but rather individuals who are committed to self-sacrifice in using their skills to save the lives of others. The crisis is not over as we reach the middle of the piece where the tempo slows to a more thoughtful pace, allowing the health care worker (and the listener) a moment to rest, to reflect and to meditate, and to give enough time for the emotions to mend and energy to rebuild while the pandemic rages on around them.  Then the music once again resumes its original pace with growing fanfare for the health care worker and their resilience in the face of a momentous task, leading to a more dramatic and triumphal sound and force to conclude the piece.
