Additional info/contents	Sails of Time was commissioned by Kingsway International and was written to celebrate the rich history of Sydney, Australia, and to honor the beauty of grandeur of this magnificent city identified by the icon of the sails of its famous Opera House. Performance Notes: Sails of Time was written to be performed as a massed band divided into three ensembles, premiered in the Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia. However, the work can be easily performed by one concert band. The massed band set up is pictured above where Ensemble 1 is on the main stage and Ensemble 2 and Ensemble 3 are positioned to the right and left of the stage, respectively. This set up enables a sort of antiphonal effect between the participating ensembles. All of the percussion should be set up on stage with Ensemble 1. Because there will be multiple percussion players, it is suggested that the duties be divided evenly between the players for the performance. The score and parts indicate which ensembles play throughout the piece and where the "massed band" is to play. There are two off-stage players required for this work: piccolo (back stage left) and trumpet (back stage right). Piccolo Flute 1/2 Oboe 1/2 Bassoon 1/2 Clarinet in Bb 1 Clarinet in Bb 2/3 Bass Clarinet Alto Saxophone 1/2 Tenor Saxophone Baritone Saxophone Trumpet in Bb 1 Trumpet in Bb 2/3 Horn in F 1/2 Horn in F 3/4 Trombone 1/2 Bass Trombone Euphonium Tuba Piano & optional organ Timpani Percussion 1 (Crotales, Xylophone, Chimes, Bells) Percussion 2 (Bells, Suspended Cymbal, Slapstick, Temple Blocks, Brake Drum) Percussion 3 (Chimes, Brake Drum, Tam-Tam) Percussion 4 (Vibraphone, Suspended Cymbal, 3 Concert Toms, Small Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Crash Cymbal) Percussion 5 (Marimba, Large Link Chain, Tam-Tam, 3 Concert Toms, Bass Drum)
