Review:
This original composition is rhythmic with an engaging melody that is scored in varying voicings throughout. The addition of sonorous LV inner voicings plus the addition of the very low bass will keep everyone engaged. Dynamics are used effectively from piano to fortissimo and counter-melodies are nicely utilized. This is within the reach of your Level 3+ ensemble but sounds more difficult and will be exciting to ring and to hear performed! 153 measures. Begins in G Major, modulates to Bb Major for the middle section, then returns to G Major.
This was chosen as the 2nd place winner of the 30th Anniversary Composition Contest Winner for the 2019 Houston Bronze Ensemble. Congratulations!
