Remember. Many of these original works for the field have their counterparts in Concert Works for a more complete and unified Music Education experience. These recordings are made by Northwest Missouri State University Students, many on their secondary instruments. Some of these original works for the field were not recorded. Rather poor 1990s MIDI demos have been added to the album. You and your ensemble may consider becoming the recording artists for inclusion on the STORMTracks Page. Enjoy & Godspeed! S

2017 Santa Clara Vanguard Horn Line, "In the Lot" playing excerpts from WAIT of the WORLD. Starting at :33.  (of course).  Plays to 2:28. There is much, perhaps too much to share about the piece itself, including the thunderous response of 10,000 people in a Bull Fight Ring many years ago!, the Marine Band of the Royal Netherlands Navy and much more...but WOW to the brass players from SCV! I think even the Marine Band of the Royal Netherlands Navy would be impressed by your  playing! "WOW" was the acronym I used when composing "Wait of the World" 20 years ago.  A fitting word for the SCV Musicians. Thank you and Godspeed!  Steve

Antonio Gaudi said, "Originality is a return to the origin." Over the past decades, STORMWORKS has been the most "imitated" in our idiom. It's time now, as it is always... for you and your kids to return to the origin.

After composing 5 back-to-back championship shows for DCA Bushwhackers, I went from school to school over a period of a few weeks during the early 1990s and composed original, competition-level works for the field. I often wrote in a back room, or some obscure place... a composer in residence. It was fun having the kids watch over my shoulder. The result was the interrelated, "WORKS for WINDS & PERCUSSION in MOTION" or WPIM.

You can listen to mp3 tracks below, and by clicking on the Titles (in green), you can see the first few score pages for an idea on the scoring.

You'll see that certain pieces do not link to dedicated pages. These works are:

STORMRiders: Feel free to call about this 1991 Championship DCA piece.

STARTHROWER: A Music Track Written for Winter Guard. Feel free to call about this work. 

MAN in the GLASS: Also a Music Track or Winter Guard. Feel free to call about this work.

STRUGGLE in the PRAYER for PEACE: Feel free to call about this work.

FOR the LOVE of JOHANN

Each Musical Story is a playable, challenging, dramatic statement. The Music lends itself to exciting visual interpretations. Pit Percussion is written. Battery percussion awaits the talents of your staff-writers. Most of these works have their counterpart in the Concert Arena for a more thorough and integrated learning experience.
