Equus Latin for “horse ” takes us on a thrilling ride on one of these magnificent animals. Wood blocks help create the sound of the horse as the ensemble comes along for the ride. A serene section at the same tempo almost seems to slow the ride down so listeners can take the time to appreciate the scenery around them. The opening material then returns as the piece comes to a strong conclusion. Equus Latin for “horse ” takes us on a thrilling ride on one of these magnificent animals.

This harrowing work depicts a horde of scowling bewitched gargoyles as they break free from their stone perches and fly about under cover of darkness. After a vengeful introduction the aggressive theme takes off supported by bombastic percussion. Each section gets its say with the melody and your clarinetists will love playing the bloodcurdling screams (played by removing the mouthpiece and barrel). A bold and dramatic work for concert or contest! (2:20)

Let the emotion pour off your stage with this powerful new composition by Brian Balmages. Combining the undeniable spirit of youth along with the emotional passing of a spirit this work will carry your audience through an array of emotions. Opening with exciting woodwind flourishes and contrasting fanfares the piece eventually moves into a sensitive passage featuring beautiful chamber writing. Special effects are employed (including tuned wine glasses and singing) in an ethereal presentation of the melody using piano bells and vibraphone. As the piece builds one final time the beautiful sweeping lines of the lyrical section return under soaring woodwind ostinatos. This worktruly soars! (6:12)
