MUSIC OF KARL JENKINS


arranged by TOM WALLACE

Showcasing the talents and contributions of the composer Karl Jenkins. A new age composer whose compositions are a unique blend of European classical tradition and ethnic/world percussion sounds and rhythms.



Listen Now!

M757 IN CAELUM FERO
TOM WALLACE Opener
MA $75.00 APC-125
Begins with a slowly building dark chorale followed by an uptempo, sweeping and grandiose movement which features unusual percussion effects (use of "dowel sticks" in the batterie), strong thematic material, contrasting woodwind interludes and powerful tuttis, eventually building to an exciting driving pulsating climax. The opener typifies the distinctive melodic style and fresh harmonic approach of Karl Jenkins.

M766 ZARABANDA/PALLADIO
TOM WALLACE Production
MA $75.00 APC-123
Serving as an excellent contrast in mood to the opener, this production starts quietly in the manner of the Baroque Saraband (a stately dance in 3/4 time), featuring a flugelhorn soloist, and giving way to a series of beautiful intertwining, gradually unfolding melodies and evolving harmonies. The music builds to a powerful sustained climax before the return of the soloist and a gradual fading away. Gorgeous!! The music segues directly into an excerpt of the music from the famous DeBeers Diamond TV commercial, featuring a short, sprightly, and compact mallet and percussion feature answered by a glorious and exciting full band tutti.

M746 CANTUS
SONG OF AEOLUS
TOM WALLACE Production
MA $75.00 APC-118
A New Age extravaganza! Beginning with a mysterious canonic 5/4 melody, the closer quickly moves to a driving sequence of syncopated, rhythmic themes, featuring all sections. Includes great contrasts between woodwinds, brass and percussion sections. There is an extended internal percussion section solo featuring many ethnic/world instruments including the djembe, chekere, congas and African bells. After a recap of the main themes, this highly original piece climaxes in a awesome show of force.

M744 ADIEMUS
TOM WALLACE Closer
MA $75.00 APC-118
Featured in the popular Delta Airlines TV commercial, this popular piece personifies the New Age sound of Karl Jenkins and serves as a solid majestic uptempo ending to a fascinating program of music.



MUSIC OF JOSEPH CURIALE


arranged by TOM WALLACE

This program features the music of Joseph Curiale, a contemporary west coast composer, conductor, artist and poet. Consisting of beautifully spun melodies with a great sense of rhythmic propulsion and a magical evocative nature, this is "movie music without the movie". His compositional style combines elements of John Williams and Aaron Copland, blended with his own distinctive touch. The marching band arrangements feature all sections in prominent roles and will have great crowd appeal.

CHASE


arranged by SCOTT BOERMA

The legendary lead trumpeter Bill Chase assembled some of the finest musicians to form the jazz-rock group CHASE. Sadly, Bill Chase along with other band members perished in an airplane crash in 1974. However his music lives on with these creatively arranged charts by MADISON SCOUTS arranger Scott Boerma. These charts utilize woodwinds and brass in a way that allows many bands to enjoy and experience this exciting music. Ranges are very reasonable and do not require a powerful lead trumpeter.
