Affirmation Randall D. Standridge
Peace, Love and Music
Concert Band
This one is for all the outcasts, the geeks, the marginalized, the wallflowers, and the people who are different.
Every once in a while, I believe you get to say something with a piece of music. When I was in High School, I was definitely NOT one of the popular crowd. My tastes in music, art, and movies were too weird. I was awkwa ...

Dominion Randall D. Standridge
Concert Band
Dominion doesn't tell a story so much as it conveys an idea and a feeling. With this work, I wanted to convey a sense of power, grandeur, and fantasy. As I listen, I imagine magical lands populated by vast deserts, imposing mountains, wild jungles, and kingdoms full of splendour, intrigue, and danger. I believe that each of us have our own dominions in o ...

Mechanical Monsters Randall D. Standridge
Concert Band
About Mechanical Monsters
Mechanical Monsters was born out of my love of two things:
1) B-Monster Movies from the 50's and 60's.
2) Teaching Beginning Band
When writing for young band, I always try to ask myself what would I have LOVED to play at that age? In this work, the sounds of metal and gears are used to overlay a repeating, plodding groove that sugg ...

About Circuit Breaker
I have written for young band for many years, and I'm always amazed at the perceived limits of what students and performers at this level can and cannot achieve. While their technical development should certainly be taken into consideration, I have also always felt that well written, well planned music can set them up for success with conc ...

Fanfare for the 16th Empire Randall D. Standridge

Program Notes
For those of you that are unaware, I was a band director for twelve years. During my time in that occupation, I created many works that had specific educational goals, but would also fit into our concert repertoire as, what I hoped, would be engaging pieces for both the players and the audience. I always struggled to find music that introduced new ...

In 2019, I was very fortunate to be invited to the University of Akron (Akron, Ohio) to serve as the clinician/composer-in-residence for a conference and honors event they were hosting. During my travels, I meet all kinds of people, and, generally speaking, I get along with them. I mean, look at me; what's not to love? (kidding). My ...

About the inspiration for the work
Music can serve many purposes. It can inspire, it can illustrate, it can cause waves of emotionand it can comfort. I'm sure many of us have had moments in our lives when our greatest comfort was a favorite song, melody, or great work.

Recently, at the Texas Music Educators Association convention, I had an interesting conversation with a director. She said that she wished there was more beginning band repertoire that taught 6/8, and that most of what she had found was too hard. I put this conversation in the back of my brain and let it cook for a while. It occurred ...
