Ticheli's Postcard, is a piece my college's wind ensemble will be doing when I return from Spring Break. This piece is very contemporary and all the ideas that are written on the page may not be accepted at first. Think of Ives' music-many people still can't stand that horrid sound today! But, we still have come to accept his Variations on 'America' as good music.
My school's wind ensemble commissioned a piece by my choral director and theory professor, called Trinity Sight. This piece is so weird and hard to like. My parents hated it! It is more noise than actual music.
I also just played Ghost Train, by Eric Whitacre. What a crazy piece! But it is so much fun and uses the instruments more as a "train" than for a lyrical sound.
Be proud that you are playing such good music. Sometimes it is hard to accept contemporary music at first, but when you play it awhile you will come to appreciate it.

Have you heard decent recordings of Ticheli's music? I was in Concordia University's Wind Symphony during the fall when we worked with Frank Ticheli in a composer's symposium and we played a lot of his music. I loved Vesuvius and American Elegy. There are some great recordings of his music out there and sometimes it takes listening to his music from an outsider's view to hear everything that is going on that makes it come together.
