When you look out at the ocean, what does it resemble? This unique, driving composition paints that picture. The upper Atlantic beaches hold many stories, from beautifully scenic sunrises to the wrath of Hurricane Sandy. Three high schools in Toms River, New Jersey commissioned the musical depiction of their celebrated shore, from joy to turbulence. The heavy emphasis on percussion only adds to the exciting build and powerful ending. Dur: 4:15.

Evocative & Enjoyable Musical Journey!
Samuel R. Hazo's 'A Zillion Nickels' is such a treat! I loved following the musical story of the ocean, from peaceful moments to the intensity of a storm, right in the score. As a Grade 3 piece, it's accessible enough to appreciate the ensemble's structure. It's relaxing to listen to and brings the vivid imagery to life.

Masterful Sectional Interplay and Narrative Drive
Though a concert band score, 'A Zillion Nickels' showcases impressive 'voice-leading' across instrumental sections. The composer masterfully crafts the ensemble texture, with percussion driving the narrative and other sections building a rich, dynamic soundscape. It expertly supports the 'ocean story,' demonstrating sophisticated harmonic and melodic layering for a Grade 3 piece.
