BCM International – Grade 5 TRACK 20 TRACK 17 Winner of the 2008 NBA/Revelli Composition Contest Suite Dreams Steven Bryant For the second year in a row, composer Steven Bryant took home top prize in the prestigious NBA/Revelli Composition Contest. The winner for 2008, Suite Dreams, draws primarily from the inverted chaconne melody in Holst’s First Suite in Steven bryant E-Flat, recasting it in a dreamlike atmosphere, almost as if (sometimes warped) memories of the original are drifting across the stage.

Dur: 2:30 (Grade 3) (MusicWorks) 04002891 Score and Parts .....................................................$60.00 04002892 Score ......................................................................$7.50 TRACK 19 Chorus Angelorum Samuel R. Hazo This poignant and moving work musically tells the tale of a chorus of angels (chorus angelorum) as they accompany two souls to the next world. Composed as a memorial piece, the music evolves from the initial “angels’ song,” their journey to heaven, and their return to comfort those who mourn. The voice parts (performed on a synthesizer or by real voices) add an ethereal quality to this wonderful work. Dur: 6:15 (Grade 3 1/2) (MusicWorks) 04002792 Score and Parts .....................................................$65.00 04002793 Score ......................................................................$7.50 Recorded by the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Wind Ensemble – Jack Stamp, conductor – Samuel R. Hazo, guest conductor Theme and Tirade Richard L. Saucedo The opening of this unique work features a gentle and serene theme traded between clarinet, oboe and trumpet soloists played over a lush harmonic background. The mood shifts abruptly, however, as the “tirade” begins! A predominant timpani pattern helps propel this section through a series of angular passages, driving rhythmic figures, a jazztinged clarinet solo, and ultimately blossoming into a triumphant and glorious conclusion.
