Program Notes

A beautiful hymn with rich harmonies and suspensions opens this fine work for beginning bands. As the lyrical melody reaches a final cadence, the piece then moves into a bombastic chant with a wealth of percussion. The theme is presented in different textures and students will explore the basic components of a fugue in an easy setting. Listeners and performers alike will be excited by the rhythmic drive of the percussion.

- Program Note from publisher


Chorale and Mystic Chant is an original work for band in the key of C minor. It is dedicated to Mr. Robert Bullard, the band director who put a trumpet in my hands over 45 years ago.

The first section, marked Andante sostenuto, is an expressive chorale filled with pensive passing tones and lavish suspensions. The second section, marked Allegro energetico, is a bombastic chant filled with tribal rhythms and changing textures, including a three-part fugue.
