Eagles Among Us by Brian Balmages
Grade 2
Publisher: FJH Music Company
This powerful overture with cinematic overtones is designed to be playable by band alone, yet offers the option of band and strings combined. Depicting the vision of the world from the eyes of an eagle while in flight, the music includes dramatic fanfares juxtaposed with moments of lyricism that range from calming to soaring. An inspiring and accessible work with multiple performance options!

Waltz (La plus que Lente) Debussy, Arr. by Matthew Moreno, Grade 4
Electric Sinfonia for String Orchestra (Grade 2.5) by Lauren Bernofsky
This fantastic arrangement of dances from the 17th century Renaissance period includes three movements, beginning with La Bouree, a lively and spirited dance. The beautiful Pavane alternates between major and minor tonalities. The final movement, Spagnoletta and Courante, is in a lilting 6/8 time. Tenor drum is optional, but highly effective and approachable. A delightful journey into the past and an excellent way to develop independence between sections. (4:15)
