Grade 2 SKU: CL.011-3864-01
Composed by Robert W. Smith. Young Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR363). Extra full score. Composed 2009. Duration 2 minutes, 47 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #011-3864-01. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-3864-01). Bold and dramatic, this compelling work by composer Robert W. Smith will be a welcome addition to the standard repertoire for the developing band. Beginning with a powerful brass statement, the woodwinds and percussion respond in an equally forceful manner. Using unique harmonic effects for this level of performance, Mirages provides excellent opportunities for all sections of the band to grow and flourish in a more mature musical setting. Mirages will be a valued resource to your concert programming and teaching literature for many years to come!
