Star Lake conjures up images of a serene lake in the central north, early in the morning. Its heartfelt melodies and Americana-style harmonies evoke the music of Copland and Bernstein. What better way to improve the musicianship of your ensemble than to have them play this warm and inviting piece? An effective way for your group to learn phrase-shaping while expressing themselves musically.
Star Lake was composed to capture the beauty of Star Lake and its surrounding area in the north woods of Wisconsin. This Americana-style piece should be performed with a rich, connected, and full sound. A solo section offers performers the opportunity to improvise using a D major scale. A sample solo is provided.
