Grade 2.5 SKU: CL.011-2935-01
Composed by Huckeby. Young Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR187). Extra full score. Composed 1998. Duration 4 minutes, 19 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #011-2935-01. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-2935-01). A spirited overture for young bands which is full of exciting rhythms and bold, contemporary harmonies. Has a lovely andante section in 3/4 that first features alto sax and then the whole ensemble. Very playable yet still challenging for middle school and jr. high bands and it’s perfect for contest or concert performances. A truly outstanding piece for developing bands! Recorded on the CD A Lantern In The Window by The Washington Winds.
