Embol den?is a dramatic work for the developing ensemble that embodies the definition of the word: to give someone courage or confidence. The piece begins with a melody of long, broad strokes. As the melody develops, lots of imitation encourages each section to play independent lines. The piece is a strong choice for the developing band's concert or festival performance.

High atop a red mountain overlooking the magnificent city of Birmingham, Alabama, stands an iron sentinel---a monument of Vulcan that keeps watch over the City of Steel. Through the Vulcan's Eye is comprised of four melodies, each aurally describing a view from the top of the mountain and inspired by the composer's childhood experiences in Alabama's largest metropolis. Broad brush strokes of sound blanket the work, enhanced by brilliant solo passages and total involvement from the percussion. A grand work on a grand scale! (7:09).

In this adaptation of the well-known Israeli folk dance, all parts share the melodic duties, harmonies are strong, and rhythms are solid. The opening marcato should be played with broad, well-spaced bow strokes, and a spirited rhythmic style should prevail from start to finish. A meaningful addition to a balanced Christmas season performance. Duration 2:30.
