Grade 2 SKU: CL.011-1835-00
Composed by R. Foster. Young Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (items CL.WFR324 & CL.WFR195). Score and set of parts. Composed 1985. C.L. Barnhouse #011-1835-00. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-1835-00). A brilliant opening fanfare by trumpets and trom bones is followed by the primary melody utilizing the low brass and low woodwinds as melodic instruments. This melody, in different forms and voicings, alternatives with the fanfare throughout, providing harmonic, rhythmic, and orchestration variety that is refreshing, and somewhat unusual in a work which is playable by young bands of even limited instrumentation.
