Johnnie Vinson: Fantasy Sketches: Concert Band: Score & Parts

Drawing inspiration from books and films of fantasy adventure, Johnnie s three-movement suite explores a variety of descriptive moods and styles. The first movement (Wizards) has a noble and grand flavour, while the second (Elves) is more playful and mischievous in design. The concluding movement (Talking Animals) uses rhythmic energy and mixed time signatures in creating a bit of a rambunctious setting. Themes from the earlier movements are then brought back for the grand finale.
