Wind Ensemble Music by Frank Felice

Wind Ensemble piece exhibiting some of my perceptions and portraits of power -- this work was commissioned by a consortium of eight wind ensembles from all over North America, and the piece was premiered by Robert Grechesky and the Butler Wind Ensemble

POWER PLAYS

Circle City Fanfare, from "Three Short Fanfares for Band"

Fanfare for a Common Band from "Three Short Fanfares for Band"

Revolution Calling

Fun piece where a composer's influences start to show through...


Sleight of Band

A transcription of music from my ballet "The Willow Maiden" for large wind ensemble - the music is like those classic Russian ballets from the early 20th century

Fanfare and Dances from the Court of the Woodland King

A sombre wind ensemble piece composed in memory of composer Fisher Tull, commissioned by Kappa Kappa Psi - playful in the middle, since he was a great humorist as well

Passage

A clownish, sarcastic scherzo for wind ensemble - odd, sarcastic!

Antics - Pagliacciata

A short peckish piece for clarinet and wind ensemble that is sarcastic, twiggy, and sometimes sly in nature - composed for clarinetist Daisy Chew

Jumping the Shark

Meaghan Sands is the soprano on this wind ensemble transcription of my soprano and string quartet piece

If Ever Two Were One (soprano and wind ensemble)

I am an eclectic composer who writes with a postmodern mischievousness: my pieces can be comedic/ironic, simple/complex, or humble/reverent. My recent projects have taken a turn toward turn towards the sweeter side, exploring a consonant adiatonicism.
