A lively and exhilarating new piece for beginning bands, Effervescence lives up to it's title, but is so much more. It also contains lush harmonies, sweeping melodic gestures reminiscent of the America school of composers like Copland.  It is a sophisticated musical presentation, but with limited technical demands, making it easy for young students, but very musically satisfying.
Effervescence is commonly known as the act of a gas escaping a liquid and the “fizzing†result that occurs. A secondary definition, however, is a show of liveliness or exhilaration. It is this secondary definition that is the inspiration for this piece.The piece begins with a broad, sweeping introduction followed by a statement of the main theme in the upper voices at m. 11. The trumpets perform the melody at m. 19, while the upper voices perform a countermelody which morphs into the main idea of the B-section that follows at m. 27. The lower voices restate the main theme at m. 35 while the upper voices provide a sweeping harmony with a somewhat “Americana†feel. After a restatement of the B-section at m. 43, a subdued section with new material occurs at m. 51. This pushes into a final restatement of the main theme at m. 59 and leads to a vibrant conclusion followed by a pianissimo afterthought.
