WINGERT-JONES PUBLICATIONS

This driving, energetic, and exciting original work is the perfect vehicle to show off your percussion section. Solid scoring and comfortable ranges make this very accessible while making your developing band sound professional. Wind players have an excellent opportunity to reinforce articulations and dynamics, and the low brass will enjoy the opportunity to show off! A 3/4 section in the middle will give the band a fun exercise in rhythmic counting.

This vibrant and soaring original work opens with a bright fanfare intro that quickly transitions into a heroic theme over driving percussion. A gentle and reflective middle section features the lyrical capabilities of the woodwind section before passing on to the brass. The piece culminates in a dramatic recapitulation of the main theme with slight rhythmical variations. This piece actively engages all sections of the band and utilizes the strengths of each instrument family. An excellent choice for a concert, contest, or as a program opener!

A nonstop tour de force of energy and excitement! Sweeping woodwind lines, powerhouse brass writing, driving percussion and gripping harmonic tension combine to make this a work that will be a favorite of players and audiences alike and the highlight of every contest or concert program. An excellent tool for reinforcing technique and articulations. Trumpet 1 goes up to high C.
