Featuring music from today’s most prominent wind band composers- John Williams, Gernot Wolfgang, Bruce Broughton, John Mackey, and Michael Daugherty, this new album features the internationally acknowledged and respected North Texas Wind Symphony. The creation of the WindWorks label represents an expanded relationship between the North Texas Wind Symphony and GIA Publications. GIA’s generous support and ongoing dedication to wind music has made it possible for the ensemble to continue producing recordings of the highest quality that are a testament to the perseverance and work ethic of everyone involved. While the first 34 releases in the series, initiated in 1989, remain with the Klavier lable, this broadened alliance with GIA affords the opportunity to consolidate all of the current projects under one publishing roof. Partnering in this way creates exciting possibilities that allow the imaginative output to stay focused on the ongoing mission: to provide first-class recordings that accentuate the comprehensiveness, depth, and value of the wind symphony medium and its music. “This series has immense historic value in documenting the best of the repertoire… as well as providing much sheer listening (and viewing) pleasure for the level of artistry in the performances. The acoustic quality of the recording is state-of-the-art… All of the works are superbly realized and worthy of exploration… these discs represent the standards to which all must aspire.” (Winds magazine)
