Par BULLA STEPHEN. Contrasting colors and stylistic shifts trace the historic events surrounding “the shot heard ‘round the world” in this challenging and significant new concert band work by Stephen Bulla. A rhapsodic adventure, NORTH BRIDGE PORTRAIT takes us from the merry atmosphere of the pre-revolutionary town through foreboding militant sounds. The fife-and-drum melody, “Washington’s March”, leads inexorably to the historic beginning of the American colonies’ struggle for freedom. Vivid images combine to make this descriptive audience-pleasing composition a memorable experience for all that attend your performance. Historic and unique! / Niveau : 4 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
