Depicting the thrill of a hot-air balloon ride, Northwest Rising is yet another concert showstopper from Robert Sheldon. From the excitement of the initial liftoff to the quiet calm of floating in air, to the anticipation of the thrill of landing, this piece will take your band and audience on the musical balloon ride of a lifetime. Woodwind glissandi, refreshing harmonies and driving percussion help make Northwest Rising as fun to perform as it is to listen to. Another winner from Robert Sheldon!

Lanterns In The Sky is a concert/festival work for young band inspired by a hot air balloon ride. The work begins with an explosion of energy and sound that is sure to command attention. The energy subsides, and builds again to a forceful statement as we begin our glorious flight. The music then takes on a soaring quality that gives the effect of floating on air. A beautifully expressive middle section invokes imagery of the incredible views and gentle breezes. The opening theme then returns bringing the piece and our journey to a forceful conclusion. Contrasting styles and changing textures provide many teaching opportunities, making this suitable for festival use. Don’t miss this outstanding addition to the young band repertoire!
