The Summit is a programmatic piece written about a journey to the top of a mountain. Numerous visual pictures are presented regarding the journey: repeated eighth notes represent the endless walking necessary to reach the summit; the use of the minor mode to signifies fatigue; bold statements by the low brass and woodwinds indicate the beauty and grandeur that unfolds as the journey continues; and, of course, the grand finale describing the final ascent to the mountain top. A wonderful composition with varying tone colors.

Rivers have often served as a metaphor for life's journey - starting in one place and traveling to somewhere unknown. This metaphor is depicted in a serene and contemplative work that uses a variety of colors and harmonies unique to young bands. Opulent mallet parts interact with optional piano to depict water gracefully cascading downwards. Gorgeous!

About FJH Young Band

Appropriate for middle school and smaller high school groups. Second clarinets usually stay below the break. Parts are written with more independence, and instrumentation increases slightly. There is still adequate doubling in the lower voices. Grades 2 - 2.5
