Program Notes
Drawing upon traditional musical forms, here is a well written, first-rate introduction to musical styles for young bands. Carefully written for the grade level, it's very well scored and the parts lay very well under the fingers for ease in playing. And best of all, it's very pleasing to the ear, a sure-fire winner.
- Program Note from publisher
This interesting work draws upon two traditional music forms: the fantasy, a rather free form that allowed composers to experiment with musical content, and the fugue, which is more rigid but also allows some freedom and experimentation. A majestic introduction leads to a flowing, noble melody stated initially by first trumpets and alto saxophones. Other instruments are added as the piece builds to a slightly slower full ensemble section. The animated fugue then begins with trumpets offering the opening statement. Melodic material is passed throughout the ensemble as the intensity builds to a powerful full band passage that is followed by a slower, lush final section drawing from earlier material as the composition moves to a dramatic conclusion.
