    Winds of Change
    By Randall D. Standridge
    Item: 00-45002
    Series: Alfred Concert Band
    Grade 3.5
    Format: Conductor Score & Parts
    In recent years, Oklahoma has seen a great increase in the development of wind energy. This development in sustainable energy sources and the winds that flow across the great state serve as the inspiration for this composition. The piece begins by depicting the great open spaces that stretch for miles across the Oklahoma landscape. Small gusts of wind (represented by scalar and arpeggiated passages in the mallets and woodwinds) dance across the landscape. The piece picks up pace as the wind races across the land, turning the turbines and charging towards the future. (5:30)

      I know how you feel. Senior year my friends and I loved the song Feliz Navidad. We had a fantastic arrangement for it. Playing it for the last time was sad indeed. The last time I would ever play it with my friends again. I’m a bari sax player.

    I love all of his songs. Everyone gets a part they can enjoy. Choose joy is a prime example of this even the bass section has a part they can enjoy. A lot of songs for concert band just give the flutes, clarinets, and sometimes alto saxophone the melody and leaves everyone else with whole notes but he doesnt do that. That is why I love all his songs

    1:38-1:50 is a theme found in Standridge's "Kinetic Dances." It is also a horn feature there. It is my favorite phrase from both songs. If you're familiar with the piece, you know what I mean. If you don't know what I mean, go listen! If you like "Winds of Change," you will love "Kinetic Dances."
