Concert band - Grade 2 SKU: CL.011-4193-01
Composed by Shaffer. Young Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR379). Extra full score. Composed 2013. Duration 4 minutes, 50 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #011-4193-01. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-4193-01). Commissioned by and dedicated to Kennesaw Mountain High School, Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia, this exciting concert overture will be a sure hit with your students. The intense opening moments immediately lead us to a brassy fanfare interlude. A secondary rhythmic dialogue between brass and woodwinds punctuates a flowing main theme. The slower middle section is a gracefully simple melody that offers a flowing contrast to the rhythmic intensity of the faster outer sections. Reminiscent of this composer’s earlier composition Fire Dance, Kennesaw Mountain Celebration is certain to be one of your student’s favorites.
