Dating prior to the Civil War, Every Time I Feel the Spirit is one of the most beloved spirituals. Like many spirituals, this one is both a song and a prayer. This arrangement begins with a driving eighth note rhythm which, after a contrasting middle section, returns to bring the work to an exciting conclusion.

Shostakovich's Symphony No.2 was written in 1927 to fulfil a state commission to mark the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution. The composer opens the compact 20-minute work with a purely instrumental first section followed by a musical setting of Alexander Bezymensky's poem To October, a hymn of praise to Lenin and the revolution. While avant-garde and modernist traits prevail in the first section, the choral finale features a conventional, almost placating tonal language that emphasises the histrionic gestures of the text, so that the composition communicates as a piece of programmatic propaganda. Shostakovich himself was rather dissatisfied with his Symphony No. 2 but it was awarded first prize in a composition competition for the best pieces relating to therevolutions jubilee.
This volume is part of the revised and corrected new edition of all 15 symphonies by Dmitri Shostakovich published by Boosey & Hawkes and Sikorski as large format study scores for optimal legibility. All scores and the related orchestral parts have been newly computer typeset, and the orchestral parts are also compatible for performance use with scores in “The New Collected Works of Dmitri Shostakovich”.

Initially commissioned by Ida Rubenstein as a ballet work initially, Maurice Ravel's BOLERO has become his most popular and often-performed orchestra composition, which was a surprise to the composer who described it as “seventeen minutes of orchestra without any music.” With a structure that is simplicity itself, BOLERO uses two alternating melodies in what Ravel described as a “crescendo on commonplace melod[ies].” Mark Rogers' transcription of BOLERO is an entirely complete wind band version of the piece; omitting not a single note or exotic instrument, thereby transferring the brilliance of Ravels orchestral score to the symphonic wind band with as much fidelity to the original as possible. Ravel calls for a very large orchestra (triple woodwinds, saxophones, large brass section, harp, celesta and percussion). Consequently, this transcription of BOLERO contains a large amount of divisi writing. It goes without saying that this transcription will be most successfully performed by large symphonic wind band.
