Energico!
Composer: Buss, Howard J.
Instrumentation: Wind Band
Genre: ContemporaryENERGICO! for band or wind ensemble ( begins with a concise, stately section that presents harmonic and rhythmic material that is developed throughout. The festive main body of the work is in an episodic ABA-Coda format and mixes Buss’ unique style of soaring lyricism with crisp, energetic rhythms and colorful harmonies. Energico! was originally written for flute ensemble during the summer of 2008: The Long Island Flute Club with support from The Brannen-Cooper Fund commissioned it in celebration of its 25th anniversary (1984-2009). It was premiered in 2009 by the Professional Flute Choir of the Long Island Flute Club at the National Flute Association Convention in New York City. The flute choir version of the work is available from Brixton Publications. Energico! for band intensifies the energy of the original version by utilizing the full resources of the concert band, including four percussion parts. The timbral palette is expanded accordingly and includes the use of mutes, stopped horn, and other colorful devices. Energico! for band is a sophisticated, yet audience-friendly work.

Hot Cross Buns Suite
Composer: York, Barbara
Instrumentation: Wind Band
Genre: ContemporaryThis is a perfect piece for any High School band and every audience member will know the tune it is based on: Hot Cross Buns
It is set in three movements:1. Introduction and Processional, "The Buns Are Made!"
2. One a Penny, Two a Penny
3. Give Them to Your Daughters
Program Notes for “Fantasy Suite on “Hot Cross Buns’”
The common nursery rhyme, “Hot Cross Buns,” refers to a sweet, spiced roll topped with a cross, made and sold at Easter. Breads such as these have a long history and carry religious, and sometimes controversial, significance. At one troubled point in English history, crossed buns were considered dangerous because of their association with one or another religious group. The law suppressed their sale, limiting it only to specific holidays.
The rhyme and song is the call of a baker marketing his wares:
Hot cross buns!
Hot cross buns!
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns!
If you have no daughters,
Give them to your sons.
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns!
In spite of the simple melody and words, there is an underlying air of desperation. The baker has created a perishable product that must be sold within a limited time. He anxiously peddles his product from street to street. Bearing on this man’s dilemma are the larger issues of ancient customs, religious meaning, and sectarian conflict. “Hot Cross Buns,” a seemingly straightforward piece, is charged with powerful human and historic issues; of course, most nursery rhymes are.
The musical significance for me as a band director is that “Hot Cross Buns” is usually the first actual piece of music that beginners play. Prior to this, they produce unrelated pitches in routine exercises. When we get to Hot Cross Buns, suddenly the connection from one note to the next makes sense. Order emerges out of chaos and the light bulbs come on. The excitement at that golden moment is almost uncontainable! No matter what amazing musical accomplishments may follow, “Hot Cross Buns” is fondly remembered as the first, decisive music-making moment.
In “Fantasy Suite on ‘Hot Cross Buns,’” Barbara York has created an advanced, serious work in four movements describing different moods inspired by the baker’s story. It also reflects our story as musicians recalling the first exciting days with our instruments, followed by years filled with the joy of music. It is my hope that performers and listeners alike will find inspiration in Barbara York’s refreshing treatment of my favorite song.

River of Stars
Composer: York, Barbara
Instrumentation: Wind Band
Genre: ContemporaryWritten in 2019 for the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point bands, Michael S. Butler, director. Dedicated to Donald E. Greene and in celebration of the 125th anniversary of UWSP.This piece is not "sweet and twinkly" as one might expect from a piece about "stars". It is about vastness, movement through space, rotation, awe and even at times the calm in the middle of the storm. I used photos of the Milky Way and even Van Gogh's "Starry Night" as my inspiration for this piece. We are past thinking that space and the stars are sweet, twinkly, calm and always beneficent. This is a more contemporary view of our understanding of what we see when we look up at night. Barbara York

Thump
Composer: Cottrell, Jeffrey
Instrumentation: Wind Band
Genre: ContemporaryTHUMP is a piece for Wind Band that tries to describe that feeling of drive and purpose that one has when fulfilling a difficult task or mission with confidence. Its music is meant to be heroic, and yet you can hear that the hero or heroine has obstacles to overcome. You may hear it as the background music to an army marching to battle they know they can win, or perhaps an overture to a Klingon Opera, as the Star trek fan in me may have imagined sometimes while writing this.
