Rich ard Ewer's gorgeous melodic lines carry the image-rich lyrics of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Featuring contemporary harmony and no divisi, Ewer's arrangement presents the historic text in a pleasing manner. I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, with sweet musk-roses and with eglantine..

Rider of the Mountain is an exciting piece for young musicians. It features a heroic melody along with varied accompaniments that are both fun and easy to play. With prominent, exhilarating percussion parts and all the sections passing the melody around, every musician gets their time to shine. One can envision themselves on a mountain pass or on rolling hills atop a beautiful stallion. The piece begins early in the morning, with the morning dew settling, and a light fog covering the mountain tops. Soon, the day's ride beings. With each adventure, the cool wind blows against their face and through their clothes. Note to the Conductor If the band is comfortable with the dotted rhythms and gets a good groove going with the percussion, try adding character and bounce to the music by envisioning a rider and his steed. Similarly, really bring out the sway and swell of sections like m. 33. This piece may require some extra attention for the percussion, as their part is slightly more difficult (and exciting!) than the wind parts.

Cica da larvae live underground for years, creeping about slowly and peacefully in the darkness until that sudden, beautiful brief moment when, one warm, damp summer’s eve, they emerge, metamorphosed into a highly mobile life form. Gaily they dance in the sunshine, singing ardently to the trees in all their greenery --- but only for a short while, for, just as suddenly, they are gone. The same process repeats year upon year. The life cycle of this string quartet resembles that of the cicada. Initially, two embryonic cells remain hidden within dense, gloomy note-clusters; over time they evolve into buds, grow and then blossom. They appear for the first time in their adult form in the fast middle section, where they assume the shape of two very popular Chinese folk melodies, Jasmine and Old Six Blows, albeit in wholly chromaticized and defamiliarized variants. After their grand efflorescence, these forms gradually dissolve into transparent wisps of sound.
