Program Notes
Cast in three main sections, Chant Rituals makes use of two contrasting thematic statements to exploit the timbral and rhythmic resources of the symphonic band. A highly chromatic middle section leads to a dramatic restatement of the original material.
Commissioned by the Grandville, Michigan, Band Boosters for the Grandville Junior High School Band, Robert Persky, director, in honor of Dwain Mitchell and his thirty-five years in music education.
