A breathtaking new addition to wind band literature, Aaron Fonzi has composed a piece that will take your audience on an incredible, emotional journey. Inspired by his grandmother, Jacquie, Mr. Fonzi recalls:


I remember vividly the conversations I had with Grandma Jacquie as a boy. She had a kind, gentle way of showing her steadfast resilience and passion for that which is good and just in the world. She didn't think it good and just that I always felt the need to make myself my worst enemy. One day, she asked me who I see in the mirror. I told her I saw an ugly boy who couldn't do anything right; a loser and a failure. She told me that she saw a handsome young man who can do anything and become whatever he puts his mind to, and that everyday I ought to look in the mirror and find that person.

It took me almost 20 years to fully understand what she meant. But it's true: we can only bring the light out of others once we've truly brought it out within ourselves. So, this is for all of us who look in the mirror and see a monster or a failure. You are not a failure and your are not a monster. Let this piece remind you that you can do anything you put your mind to if you put faith in the person looking back at you.

Give your ensemble and your audience an experience they will remember with this powerful work, When I Look In The Mirror....

Incorporated in 1869, the city of Des Plaines, Illinois grew from its early beginnings as a rail station and mill town along the Des Plaines River. Located just northwest of Chicago, this small town of over 58,000 residents has seen many changes during its 150 year history. Interesting city facts include the very first McDonald’s restaurant opened in 1955, the boyhood home of Brady Bunch actor Robert Reed, film location for the movie The Breakfast Club, and location of the Methodist Camp Ground, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A great place to work and raise a family, the city continues to grow and its motto of City Of Destiny truly represents great things coming from its small town roots. It is that reality to which this fun piece for Concert Band is dedicated.

This sonata was written in 2011. Its main idea is founded on an attempt to showcase the most characteristic episodes of French horn participation in soundtracks of adventure movies. The names of the movements: 1 - Knights and Cowboys, 2 - Sunrise in the Mountains and 3 - Hunting distinctively reflect their stories, where warlike confrontations and followed by majestic and glorious landscapes. The combination of classical forms and cinema-like montages of fast cut shots seamlessly intertwine in this composition, which is full of good-natured humor.

INDIVIDUAL INSTRUMENTS PARTS 2 of 2 (Harp and Strings).  This four act contemporary opera, original libretto and music, by 21st century American composer James Nathaniel Holland is the story of the triumph of Love over Evil, however delayed, and the power of keeping steadfast to one’s righteous promise.  

Based on the German fairy tale The Six Swans, in a kingdom, during Saxon times, the murderous daughter of an evil entity, Ravia, infiltrates and takes over the lives of a royal family due to the King’s rash promise to marry her many years before. 

The royal children are sent away by their father for safety to a hidden, woodland cottage, but Ravia discovers where they are and hexes the younger siblings, turning them into swallows.  Usha, the eldest, escapes and flees to the wilderness and is visited by the apparition of her dead mother who explains what is going on and that Usha must swear an oath of silence for six years to break the spell and change her siblings back into human form.

Five years pass and a dashing and kind king, Rohric, of another kingdom, finds Usha while hunting, falls in love with and marries her, but Usha must remain silent and cannot reveal who she is.  Ravia, who now is sole queen of the old kingdom, is invited by Rohric’s nobles with hope to secure a “proper� wedding for Rohric.  Usha is accused falsely of killing her own child by the two and is sentenced to be burned at the stake, but as the bell tolls she finally can declare her innocence.  To the crowd’s amazement her siblings change back, all truth is revealed, and for Ravia’s failure, she is dragged back to hell by demons.
