Music for a Noble Gathering captures the pomp and dignity of a regal celebration. The composition opens with a percussion flourish to a fanfare. Perform this passage at a stately tempo with marked separation. A legato, lyrical theme appears (m. 17) that contrasts the opening passage. Emphasize the ritard and crescendo in m. 24 in preparation for the return of the opening theme (m. 25) that completes the A section. Although thematically related to the fanfare, the B section (m. 35) provides contrast in tempo, key, and style. Strive for a connected and sustained presentation with careful attention to the shaping of the phrases. Proper balance between the melody and countermelody at m. 45 is paramount. The climax in m. 53 quickly subsides but immediately rebuilds for a lively percussion feature. The restatement of the A section (m. 61) leads to a final climax (m. 91), a brief coda (m. 93) and a dynamic closure. William Harbinson is Professor Emeritus and former Dean of the Hayes School of Music at Appalachian State University. He has received nine J.W. Pepper Editors' Choice Awards that identify the very best of the new music available. His compositions for band appear on contest/festival literature lists of several states and are performed worldwide.  .

Now available for SSAA voices! The first movement of Craig Courtney’s trilogy, Divine Encounter, is a song in which God invites us to receive His bounty. The first verse of Isaiah 55 is expressed as a celebration rather than the meditative, lyric manner found in most settings. In contrast, the setting of the sixth verse is regal, earnest and authoritative and the architecture of the movement is built upon the contrast between these two styles. Suitable for use on its own, or as part of the three-movement work; effective in both worship and concert settings. Scored for SSAA chorus and organ (in choral score) or piano (available separately) with optional brass sextet, or string quartet, or full orchestra. An accompaniment track (brass and organ) is also available.
