Translated from Gaelic as “Eternal September,” this marvelous setting for band is designed to take each listener back to their own vivid fall memories on a college campus.

Hazo, a 1949 graduate of Notre Dame. Additionally, Dr. Hazo's poem “Home Are the Sailors” is incorporated in the middle of the piece. Rich in musical references and varied textures, this is a dramatic and rewarding work for mature ensembles. Duration: c. 5:30.

Commissioned by the award-winning Kalamazoo (MI) Concert Band, Alleluia is a convergence of hauntingly emotive themes that culminate in breath-taking builds. The Kalamazoo Gazette described it as the “pinnacle of the concert” in which it was premiered, adding that Hazo's master composition takes the listener from “...bells and chimes to full Hosannas. The result was transfiguring! It first fades like a sunset, then explodes in white light, bringing the audience to their feet.” Written for mature ensembles, this work will have a powerful impact on the performers as well as all who hear it. Duration: 7:55.

Commissioned by the Pickens County (GA) Middle School Band on the occasion of the band program being split into separate schools, this marvelous composition for young players explores the emotions of separation. Sam uses the analogy of a river that, when divided, maintains its identity yet becomes two separate entities. Three themes are presented individually then come together in grand fashion at the end. (4:35).
