Beautiful and
heartfelt, As Shadows
Fall is an outstanding
lyrical work for young
band. A beautiful and
memorable melody is first
introduced by the flute
and gradually grows amid
changing textures and
harmonies ultimately
leading to a soaring and
dramatic final climax.
The music then ends as it
began, with a gentle
breeze, quietly fading
away amid the setting
sun. The many
opportunities for lyrical
performance technique and
expressive qualities make
this a superlative choice
for concert or festival
use. A valuable addition
to the young band
repertoire.
