Grade 1.5 SKU: CL.011-1871-01
Composed by Shaffer. Young Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR386). Extra score. Composed 1986. Duration 3 minutes, 23 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #011-1871-01. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-1871-01). A marvelous contest piece that follows in the tradition of his very popular Excellentia Overture.’’ Starting with the broad fanfare introduction, the composition is built on a simple fugue starting in the woodwinds which eventually winds through the different voices of the band. A lush and expressive middle section provides just the right amount of contrast. Ideal for Jr. High and Middle School bands.
