Momentum - A strong percussion statement contributes to the joyous, celebratory feel of this driving work. The pulse is intense and the anticipation is evident with syncopation, powerful brass, and impressive technical lines that lead to many highs and lows before the final resolution. The music is always moving forward, transporting the audience along a seemingly non-stop journey they won't want to end.

Mystic Voyage - From slow, full chords and mysterious sounds to exciting rhythmic episodes, this engaging work has something for everyone. The understated opening builds into an energetic theme that will show off your band's musicianship. A brief, slower statement is presented before the main theme returns and drives the piece all the way to the bold ending.
