Musical elements from various sources are woven into a rich tapestry of sounds and colors that show the full expressive range of the band. Perfect for contest and festivals!

Four Sketches for Band consists of four short movements, with varied character, which depict the atmosphere of an old fashion fairground. The melodies are delightfully entertaining yet have a simple rhythmic structure. The instrumentation of this composition is perfect for bands without a full contingent of players. Each movement of this composition can be used as stand-alone concert item.

Four Sketches for Band bestaat uit vier korte delen die verschillen van karakter. De melodieën zijn aanstekelijk en de boeiende ritmes zijn eenvoudig gehouden. Elk deel schetst een sfeerbeeld van een onderdeel van een oudejaarmarkt: Jugglers and Musicians, Merry-go-round, Giants and Dwarfs en Hustle & Bustle. De instrumentatie is zodanig dat ook orkesten met een onvolledige bezetting het werk probleemloos kunnen spelen. De verschillendedelen zijn los van elkaar geschikt als toegift.

Four Sketches for Band: das sind vier kurze Sätze unterschiedlichen Charakters mit einprägsamen Melodien und leicht verständlicher Rhythmik. Die Sätze beschreiben Szenen auf einem alten Jahrmarkt: Gaukler und Straßenmusikanten, ein Karussell, Riesen und Zwerge und schließlich das gesamte bunte Treiben werden mit geschickt gesetzten Kontrasten und Wechseln in der Rhythmik und Instrumentierung anschaulich herausgearbeitet. Die einzelnen Sätze eignen sich auch sehr gut als Zugaben.
