Characterized with sweeping melodies driving dynamic rhythms interrupted with peaceful serene passages built upon charismatic melodies---this musical tribute will not soon be forgotten. Dedicated to Gene Wilder and commissioned by Georgia Band Directors Association, this revered mentor will be remembered for eternity. The catalyst for the predominant part of the material are the notes G, E, and N (either an upper or lower neighboring note), and E---combined with the melody from Mr. Wilders' favorite hymn. One listen and you'll be hooked. High energy paired with deep emotion is the recipe for this wonderful work. (7:00)

With its message of endless possibilities and dreams fulfilled, this piece, from the 1971 Academy-award nominated film score of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964), by songwriting team Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley, has remained popular since the 1970s---and even more so today, or so says the more than 5.5 million views on YouTube. The tune surfaces three times in the movie, first during the opening title music, then as the feature number by Gene Wilder as he leads his assembled golden ticket winners into the chocolate room, and finally, as part of the Wonkavator music at the end. Great fun for all generations, and all generations to come! This arrangement provides a dramatic opportunity to teach expression. A charming and musical choice, it is memorable and heartwarming.
