Grace Valley Overture
This energetic overture opens strongly with the low brass presenting a melodic arpeggio motive that recurs throughout the A section of the piece. The B section provides an excellent contrast with an expressive presentation by the woodwinds leading to a sensitive chorale setting. With shifting minor and major modes, the section builds with the brass before ending in a tranquil manner. A repeat of the opening section leads to a dynamic coda, bringing the piece to an exciting conclusion.“This is well written educational material that plays at the more technical end of this grade level.”

High Five!
Looking for some music to get the audience more involved in your concert? Here it is! A medium-rock groove sets the stage for an eighth-note motive that signals the band and audience to give “high fives” throughout the piece. Soloists on the flute, saxophone, trumpet, trombone and clarinet are featured on two-measure phrases that lead to an exciting “drum-off” between the snare and tom players. Band members and directors are encouraged to use their creativity in the solo section as well as in giving “high fives” to each other and to the audience. A really fun piece! (3:05)SKU: AL29446 -
