2015 Selkie (A Scottish Legend) by Johnnie Vinson (JTL 6th Grade)
Commissioned by Matthew Whitney and the 2015 J.T. Lambert Intermediate School 6th grade band
In Celtic folklore, a "selkie" is a mythical creature appearing as a seal in water, but taking human form on land. In this striking setting for second-year players, the first movement, in a lyric and melancholy style, portrays the selkie as a baby seal. The second movement depicts a young boy on land and employs a number of characteristics of traditional Scottish folk tunes.
2008 Electricity (Race Around the Circuit) by Brian Balmages
2008 Electricity (Race Around the Circuit) by Brian Balmages
Commissioned by Matthew Flicker and the 2008 Lehman Intermediate School 7th and 8th grade band
Experience the thrill of a single electron racing through a circuit at mind-boggling speeds! The wild ride begins immediately with two sets of bells creating an invigorating metallic backdrop. The intensity continues until a blackout occurs without warning, shutting down power to the entire circuit. The simple effect of a water gong creates the effect of a machine grinding to a halt. The circuit soon becomes live again as the electron races on. Absolutely stunning!
