WITHOUT WARNING is the First Movement of a larger work entitled, HONOR, COURAGE... COMMITMENT which has the potential of becoming a 12 minute, 3-movement work if utilizing the optional closing statement of GODSPEED!

HONOR, COURAGE... COMMITMENT is a large scale, filmic musical portrayal of the United States Navy's Action and Adventure on the High Seas. The piece requires strong brass and percussion players and woodwind players with advanced technique.

This piece is from the STORMJOURNEYS CD. and the STORMWORKS... Chapter ONE CD.

"Without Warning is one of the most aptly titled works in our repertoire. Its exciting music leaps off the page and smacks the performers and audience squarely between the ears. And by the time the audience has recovered from experiencing this whirlwind of music, they're glad they chose to attend the concert rather than do anything else. Melillo is a potent composer full of engaging ideas and he possesses a wonderful craft... he knows what he's doing and he does it very well."
Dr. Timothy Mahr
