Jubilant Spirit is sure to become a favorite among music educators, performers, and audience members. The high-energy introduction makes this piece an ideal opening for both concert and contest performances. The clever and spirited theme is shared by woodwinds, trumpets, and keyboards and supported by the low brass and horn. The beautiful Andantino provides every section the chance to play expressively and to explore each performer's ability and understanding of lyrical playing. Tasteful percussion writing contributes to the drive of the piece as well as giving the percussionists the opportunity to be fully involved in every section of the piece. Jubilant Spirit has been carefully edited to help the music educator maximize the effectiveness of style and dynamics and to also teach the concept of phrase development, especially in the lyrical middle section.
