Published by Ayotte Custom Musical Engravings (A0.733029). Chi Me Frena in Tal Momento, also known as the Sextette from Lucia di Lammermoor, is one of the most colorful and memorable moments in opera. Operatic music was an important part of the band repertoire at the turn of the 20th century. Lucia di Lammermoor is a tragic opera in three acts by Gaetano Donizetti. The libretto was loosely based upon Sir Walter Scott's historical novel The Bride of Lammermoor. The story concerns the emotionally fragile Lucy Ashton (Lucia) who is caught in a feud between her own family and that of the Ravenswoods. The setting is the Lammermuir Hills of Scotland (Lammermoor) in the 17th Century..

The piece masterfully captures the essence of a tempest, skillfully utilizing a range of instruments and musical techniques to create a vivid sonic portrayal.The composition begins with a slow and tranquil section, symbolizing the calm before the storm. A poignant French horn solo emerges, drawing the audience into a serene soundscape. Meanwhile, other instruments subtly mimic the gentle patter of raindrops and the haunting whispers of the wind, creating an immersive atmosphere.As the tension builds, a duet between the euphonium and tuba ensues, serving as a transitional bridge into the impending storm. Dissonant brass chords punctuate the composition, mirroring the initial signs of lightning piercing through the darkness. The baritone saxophone then takes center stage, its haunting solo representing the gradual approach of the storm, with each note evoking a sense of anticipation.In a climactic turn, the percussion section bursts forth, meticulously replicating the tumultuous sounds of a raging storm. Thunderous rolls, crashing cymbals, and cascading snare drum patterns immerse the listeners in the chaotic energy of the tempest. The woodwinds join in with swirling sixteenth notes and trills, amplifying the sense of swirling winds and torrential rain.A shift to cut time signals a momentary respite, symbolizing the storm's brief slowdown. However, the tranquility is short-lived, as the composition quickly accelerates, portraying the intensification of the tempest. The ensemble conjures a maelstrom of sound, mimicking the violent peak of the storm with powerful rhythms and dynamic swells.Finally, as the storm gradually subsides, an alto saxophone takes up the melody once delivered by the French horn. Its somber solo, reminiscent of the opening, serves as a reflective moment, encapsulating the aftermath of the tumultuous weather. The composition draws to a close with a sense of calm resolution, leaving the audience in awe of the storm's raw power and beauty.Tempest's Approach is a captivating and dynamic wind ensemble composition that skillfully combines melodic storytelling, atmospheric effects, and powerful instrumentation to create a sonic narrative that brings the audience into the heart of a storm.

The piece’s use of mixed meter and soli writing will challenge any high school band, but its use of grooves, aleatoric notation, and bizarre techniques (including dropping a cymbal) will make it fun and accessible for everyone.

I might have died, unmarked, unknown, a failure. Now we are not a failure. This is our career and our triumph. Never in our full life we could have hoped to do such work for tolerance, for justice, for man's understanding of man as we now do by accident. Our words—our lives—our pains—nothing! The taking of our lives—lives of a good shoemaker and a poor fish peddler—all! That last moment belongs to us—that agony is our triumph!.»Here's to you, Nicola and BartRest forever here in our heartsThe last and final moment is yoursThat agony is your triumph..

Concert Band - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1114090 Composed by Gustav Mahler. Arranged by Robert L. Anello. 20th Century,Romantic Period. Score and parts. 29 pages. Robert Anello #716008. Published by Robert Anello (A0.1114090). Gustav Mahler’s “Veni Creator Spiritus� was a new musical setting for the lyrics of a 9th century Latin hymn, originally sung as a Gregorian chant, as an invocation of the Holy Spirit during the celebration of the Christian Feast of Pentecost. This work would comprise the Part I of the symphony with Part II being a setting of the words from the closing scene of “Faust� by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Mahler envisioned the premiere of this new symphony, Number 8, as a massively grand spectacle, with an orchestra not only including strings but a large brass and woodwind section, eight soloists, two full adult choruses, and a children’s choir. The full complement for the premiere was 171 instrumentalists and 858 singers, a total of 1029 musicians, which inspired the promoter to advertise the work as “Symphony of a Thousand.� Part I, “Veni Creator Spiritus,� expresses the whole range of human emotions: grand statements expressing the awe of divine majesty alternate with gentle melodic lines of tender love. It combines moments of awesome dramatic tension with the lightness of a fugue. Robert Anello’s arrangement makes this exceptional music accessible to large concert bands while maintaining the essence and flow of Mahler’s original work.

A Momentous Occaision is a grade 2+ concert opener for band that is quite suitable for use as  processional music for special events and assemblies such as a graduation ceremony or convocation. I wrote this piece in 2011 my band to play as our faculty processed in at our school's graduation ceremony. We needed music that our school's string orchestra students could play with us, and so I included optional parts for 1st & second Violin, Viola, Cello, & Bass. These optional parts are included with this set. My students were able to learn this music in less than a week, which worked out well for our very hectic and irregular end of the year schedule.

Concert Band - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1420211 Composed by Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. Arranged by John Ivor Holland. 19th Century,Classical,Film/TV,Opera. 63 pages. John Ivor Holland #1001674. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1420211). On two occasions, Felix Mendelssohn composed music for William Shakespeare's play 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. First in 1826, near the start of his career, he wrote a concert overture (Op. 21). Later, in 1842, five years before his death, he wrote incidental music (Op. 61) for a production of the play, which is where this lovely movement is found. Leading with horn and bassoon trio, this would provide a moment of tranquility in any programme, particularly in a concert of opera/ballet music or perhaps one of film music, as this has been used in several movie soundtracks.

Concert Band - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1411069 Composed by Keiron Anderson. Classical,Contemporary. 124 pages. Songburd Music #993415. Published by Songburd Music (A0.1411069). 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.
