To Soar with Eagles

This Jack Bullock original has dynamic rhythmical and melodic impact. The overall effect of this composition is punctuated with the crisp and clean style. A solid choice with a welcoming familiar sound.SKU: AL24761 -

Toccata (“Atalanta”)
“Woodwind and percussion players usually are unfamiliar with the antiphonal brass choir tradition. I made this modern, more easily readable version of Bonelli’s classic 1600 Toccata for flexible wind ensemble with optional percussion, so that as few as 8 players up to full symphonic band could play in this style. I’ve used it as a dramatic concert opener, with the second, smaller group positioned behind the audience.” ~ Shelley HansonRecorded by the Eden Prairie (MN) High School Wind Ensemble – Dr. Elizabeth Jackson, conductor

This can be effective used either as a “teaching piece” or as an appealing concert number. Dur: 2:25SKU: HL04004765 -
