Twittering Machine by Brian Balmages (FJH)
Grade 2.5
Publisher: FJH Music Company
Inspired by the ambiguous 1922 artwork by Swiss-German painter Paul Klee, this dark music depicts a struggle between nature and machine. A haunting melody slowly transforms as the machine around it grows (represented by a series of layered percussion sounds). A deeply rich and powerful work for young bands that invites many opportunities for cross-curricular discussion.
Queenslanders will likely appreciate this fresh and cheerful "winter" piece from Florida, sure to bring some cheer to your audience. Optional percussion parts pair with tuneful melodies to give this work a unique charm that is both engaging and challenging. A perfect addition to your winter concert! (2:00)

Bringer of War (After Holst) by Balmages (FJH)
Contemporary and fresh, this energetic romp is shrouded in a sense of excitement and anticipation. Highly rhythmic with a pop flair, the melody combines with an infectious rhythmic groove and hip bass line to keep everything driving forward. A rousing ensemble ending pulls out all the stops - a sure crowd pleaser! (3:45)
