Ticheli & Rudgers' revolutionary beginning & intermediate band methods, Making Music Matter, Books 1 and 2, have given rise to four new band works developed from Ticheli's compositions in the methods. This is the first of four such works, and it summons the spirit of the composer's Vesuvius in a shorter form. A bit of an adventure movie soundtrack, a midnight raid on a desert fortress.
