Program Notes

A contemporary piece for mid-level bands which includes many compositional techniques not usually found in music at this grade level. The dark and ominous beginning section even allows students to choose their own “notes” in a couple of places and features some very unique percussion effects using trash cans. Since this music is quite different from the usual music most students have encountered, the results of performing “Out of Darkness” will raise musical horizons and awareness while challenging your group with an impressive concert or festival selection!

Out of Darkness was commissioned by the Cosmopolitan Music Society of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Harry Pinchin, director, in celebration of their 49th Anniversary.
