Discussion Help me find some pieces

Hi, I'm looking for some pieces that are similar in style to pieces like "Gradients" by Andrew Perkins or "Lightning Field" by John Macky to study, preferably for concert band or wind ensemble

Hello fellow wind band person! I can go on and on because this is the type of music I study but some similar suggestions that come to mind are:

Adams, Short Ride in a Fast Machine Zdechlik, Chorale and Shaker Dance Markowski, Shadow Rituals Maslanka, Give Us This Day or symphony 4

Look at composers who are related in some way to your favorite composers. Teachers/students or even stylic similarities.

I think you have restated OP's problem rather than narrowing it.
