What conductors are saying:
"I was very pleased to see that Ballerbach has re-issued 'Three Pieces for Band' by Philip Rhodes. This excellent piece is worthy of study and performance by all serious band conductors. I hope Ballerbach will be able to make other out-of-print works available to the profession in the future."
~ Gary Speck, Director of Bands
Miami University, OH
"... a true gem for the modern wind ensemble. His first work for band, it was extremely progressive and has stood the test of time. It still sounds amazingly fresh with its blend of jazz and neo-romantic charm."
~ William Berz, Conductor
Rutgers University
“... James Syler’s ‘Symphony No. 1’ ... is a major addition to the wind ensemble repertoire. What immediately strikes the listener about this composition with a subtitle ‘Blue’ is the depth of the text and music and the absence of all of the possible stereotypes that could be associated with such a title.”
~ Leon Bly, World Association of Symphonic
Bands and Ensembles Newsletter, Vol. XV
“Tom Kennedy’s transcription is a gourmet entree. ... this fine modern transcription reflects the intersection of histories that is the contemporary band world.”
~ Thomas Duffy, Conductor/Composer
