Commissioned by and dedicated to the 15th annual Festival of Bands for the following southern Indiana high school bands: Barr-Reeve, Loogootee, Mitchell, North Knox, Shoals and South Knox.
Certain to become a staple of Grade 3 band literature, this great new composition represents James Curnow at his finest. Beginning and ending with an exciting fanfare that contrasts various melodic, rhythmic, harmonic and stylistic concepts, The Spirit Soars captures the enduring spirit of today's youth in music. The joyous scherzo energized with buoyant energy and an exquisite contrasting lyrical theme, many moods and a grandioso finale all combine to ensure this piece becomes a landmark of literature for this level. Plan your next concert around this great new piece!
