By becoming an Official STORMDirector (OSD), you aid in the creation of this and other recordings.
With the Sonic Scape for Band of the 3rd Millennium pushed even beyond previous works, we are joined by the 100 member Residentie Bachkoor (The Residence Bach Choir). They render a piece from which all the "Storm" works have emerged. Composed in its original form in 1976, we've come full circle. I hope you'll join with us in the expanding Adventure. Contents

Testimonials"Dear Mr Melillo, Thanks for your great, lyric, powerful musical eloquence ... it's quite elysian! You've owned with your works a new musical dimension ... a light never seen before! Thanks and best regards from Germany, Osnarück!" Jens Schröer "I received the Chapter "0" CD today and I'm listening in amazement as I try to prepare tomorrow's lesson plans. I'll be better at what I do by just having this fabulous music in my ear!!! Wonderful sounds!!! When I received Chapter 0 today, I also received a double CD set from another well-known publisher. This new series is supposed to "rekindle your imagination". It does... I can't imagine how anyone would try and sell this dribble!! In this one little corner of the world, YOU have raised the bar for what band music CAN be!" Tom Tapscott, Rossview HS, Clarksville, Tennessee "Today I heard A Walk on the Water for the first time on CD. I was sitting in my livingroom near the Christmas tree with my headphones on. Later on my wife said I looked like a million miles away. And .... I was. With this musical adventure my band has definitely entered the 21 st century. Thanks.... and Godspeed!" Fred Boelhouwer, Clarinet with the Royal Military Band, the Hague Holland. "Melillo is to wind music what Beethoven was to the symphony orchestra, and he follows a Beethovenesque design of increasing the musical tension almost to the breaking point, receding, and then reaching again. It is superlative musical craftsmanship and inspiring to hear." Marvin Sosna, Special to The Tribune. "I heard your CD. WOW! You are truly gifted. All great composers must also be great orchestrators. You make the wind and percussion medium sound the absolute best! The orchestration in your music reminds me of the "next" Ravel. Genius! " Scott Nelson, Shenendoah University "I have been listening non-stop to the CDs you had sent to me. Your music is nothing short of spellbinding; magical stories full of LIFE ENERGY that take me mentally to places I never knew existed. Thank you, my good friend, for giving me an entirely new perspective of the world." Peter Giles, Giles Communications |
