The work that gives this disc its name, Michael Colgrass� Winds of Nagual, was inspired by the writings of Carlos Castaneda and his experiences with a Yaqui Indian sorcerer, delving into the secrets of pre-Columbian wisdom. David Gillingham�s No Shadow of Turning is based on a hymn-tune, Great is Thy Faithfulness, and is dedicated to the memory of Lois Brock, secretary of the Ohio State University Bands. It was Dvořá�s Serenade for Winds, Op. 44 that led conductor Russel Mikkelson to arrange the lovely Serenade for Strings for wind band. Donald Hunsberger�s arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov�s evergreen Bumblebee was originally written as a solo for jazz trumpeter Winton Marsalis. In the present transcription, he assigns the solo trumpet line to various instruments of the band.
