Composed by Shaffer. Young Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR369). Extra full score. Composed 2010. Duration 3 minutes, 33 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #011-3946-01. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-3946-01). Based upon a simple but lush harmonic chorale, the introduction quickly builds into a dramatic brass driven fanfare. The rhythmic flourish is introduced in the saxophones and moves between the choirs of instruments throughout the piece. Effective rhythmic writing compliments the flowing melodies building to a dramatic and exciting finale that is a signature of David Shaffer’s festival music. An exceptional choice for contest or festival.
