For Concert Wind Band and Pre-recorded Soundscape-Evocative train sounds allow listeners' own trains of thought to wander freely in this emotionally captivating electroacoustic tone poem. As with other signature Shapiro works like Immersion and Liquid Compass an expansive palette of shifting textures and density creates striking unexpected contrasts. A remarkably seamless wash of acoustic and digital sounds offers new meaning to the term prerecorded track as the piece picks up steam and arrives at a forceful abrupt end. To perform the piece you'll need an audio system capable of playing the prerecorded audio tracks from a laptop computer via a small digital audio interface connected to an audio mixer. Downloadinformation is provided in the score. Dur: 7:15

Remembering Aretha Franklin-As the world mourns the passing of Aretha Franklin we celebrate the enduring legacy of her songs and persona. This powerful medley for the concert stage includes the hits Respect (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman and Think.

BandQuest-Inspired by the ever-popular snack Pop! is a grade 3 band piece by composer Tawnie Olson that imitates the sounds popping popcorn beginning with that first single kernel to the exploding sounds of an overflowing pot. Through the use of imitation additive processes playful articulation and the development of tune fragments Olson crafted a piece that is relatable and great fun to play. Pop! also has an aleatoric passage that gives young performers the opportunity to co-compose by improvising sounds that suggest of pop of popcorn in the making. BandQuest« an exciting series of new music and accompanying curricula for band is a program published by the American Composers Forum.The series was started as a response to feedback from music educators that there is a pressing need for new fresh band music. The heart of this program is new works written by a diverse group of leading American composers who have created challenging pieces that are a true departure from standard middle school repertoire. Every BandQuest project includes a residency component in which the composer works collaboratively with a middle school as they create their new piece. Many BandQuest pieces are accompanied by an interdisciplinary curriculum designed to assist students as they learn the music and to integrate each piece with non-music studies.
