Speak to Me
There is a long tradition in jazz of instruments carrying on a conversation – either intricate with soloistic dialogues (often improvised) or the call and response of larger forces. Speak to Me is above all such a conversation, at first among soloists and then among more and more performers as they gradually join in. This piece begins with a simple tune that increasingly overlaps with and is interrupted by other ideas, generating enormous energy along the way. Dur: c. 5:00This recording is used with permission from GIA Publications, Inc. CD-960, Teaching Music Through Performance in Band Vol. 10 Reference Recordings, Grades 2-3 North Texas Wind Symphony conducted by Eugene Migliaro Corporon)

This is a superb concert selection. Very programmatic and highly recommended.SKU: ALBDM00032 -
