About

This disc features a wide variety of music for Wind Band, ranging from well known classical composers such as Dvořák to modern day composers such as Michael Colgrass.
 
Donald Hunsberger made this arrangement of the Rimsky-Korsakov's classic Flight of the Bumblebee to feature solo trumpeter Wynton Marsalis.  In the present version he assigns the solo trumpet line to various instruments in the band, creating a short virtuosic display for the ensemble.
 
Similar to the Opus 44, Mikkelson has set the Opus 22 Serenade for pairs of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, and horns, cello and bass.  Study of Dvořák's wind serenade and orchestral writing revealed aspects of the composer’s scoring practices for winds, which were implemented in the current setting of the Opus 22.  This arrangement had its premičre on 30th November, 2004 by the Ohio State University Wind Symphony, conducted by Russel C. Mikkelson.
 
The eponymous Winds of Nagual was inspired by the writings of Carlos Castaneda and the tales of his experiences in Mexico with a Yaqui Indian sorcerer named Don Juan Matisse.
