Things to consider
Start with Owens' most frequently programmed Grade 1-2 pieces (Rust Belt, Egyptique, Stormchasing) if you're new to his work. Many titles come in conductor score only or as score-and-parts bundles, so verify which format you need before ordering. The collection's strength is intermediate repertoire, so directors working with developing bands will find more material here than those programming advanced ensembles.
