      <title>Classical Music Spotlight - Winds of Nagual</title>
      <description>The work that gives this disc its name, Michael Colgrass&apos; Winds of Nagual, was inspired by the writings of Carlos Castaneda and his experiences with a Yaqui Indian sorcerer, delving into the secrets of Columbian wisdom. No Shadow of Turning by David Gillingham is based on a hymn, Great is Thy Faithfulness, and is dedicated to the memory of Lois Brock, secretary of the Ohio State University Bands. It was the Dvorak  Serenade for Winds, Op. 44 that led conductor Russel Mikkelson to arrange the lovely Serenade for Strings for wind band. Donald Hunsberger&apos;s arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov&apos;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.</description>

      <title>Classical Music Spotlight - Pichl Symphonies</title>
      <description>In his lifetime Wenzel Pichl was esteemed as one of the foremost European composers of the age. A friend of Dittersdorf, whose works exerted a strong influence on his development, Pichl wrote symphonies that rank among the most interesting of the period. The symphonies featured on this recording, all of which were composed in the 1760s and take as their subject mythical figures from classical antiquity, reveal a composer of flair and technical resourcefulness.</description>

      <title>Classical Music Spotlight - Philip Glass Heroes Symphony</title>
      <description>Although he remains best known for the works he wrote for his own ensemble, orchestral music has been at the forefront of activities for PHilip Glass for much of the last two decades. Having achieved success in 1993 with his Low Symphony, a reworking of David Bowie and Brian Eno&apos;s classic rock album Low, three years later Glass repeated the experiment with another Bowie,Eno collaboration, Heroes, an album that drew its inspiration from the then divided city of Berlin. The six movements of Heroes Symphony function as independent pieces that between them build into a self sufficient musical work. The Light has its inspiration in a very different source, the Michelson Morley experiment confirming the uniform speed of light. Seeking a musical corollary, Glass&apos; piece has an expressive introduction followed by an energetic main movement a before and after mirroring the onset of modern scientific research.

      <title>Classical Music Spotlight - Hovhaness Symphony No. 60</title>
      <description>Of Armenian and Scottish extraction, the American composer Alan Hovhaness was a trend setting pioneer who absorbed a variety of archaic and modern influences from East and West. He once said My purpose is to create music, not for snobs, but for all people, music which is beautiful and healing. Khrimian Hairig, with its trumpet solo, recalls the heroic Armenian priest of the title. Hovhaness virtuoso and romantic Guitar Concerto was written for the Bolivian guitarist Juan Calderon. The Symphony No. 60, expresses the composer&apos;s love of the music and folk poetry of the Appalachians.</description>
