Quintescent Journey is an outstanding work honoring a life well-lived. The rhythmic ostinato and interesting time signatures provide challenging opportunities across the developing ensemble, and the peaceful and serene middle section will give your students a chance to display their musical maturity. Featuring expressive solos for flute, trumpet and horn, the tranquility of the middle section provides an emotional and lyrical contrast to the opposing rhythmic themes. A celebratory finish makes a definitive statement, and Lisa Galvin’s exciting work is sure to inspire students and listeners alike! This energetic work will be the perfect addition to any performance!
