Now your band
can boldly go where no
band has gone before, and
bring the “final
frontier†to your
concert band stage!
Here’s James L.
Hosay’s
imaginative new tone poem
SPACE PROBE. Since the
1970's, NASA has been
launching long-range,
solar-powered probes into
space. Over the past 30
years, the Voyager,
Pioneer, and Galileo
series’ probes
have sent back incredible
photographs. The data
sent to Earth by these
probes, along with recent
photos and information
gathered by the orbital
telescope, Hubble, has
helped astronomers chart
the ever-expanding
universe all the way back
to its origins. This
composition provides
excellent opportunities
for cross-curriculum
teaching withscience. A
scintillating musical
spacescape ushers in the
bold thematic statement
in the Trumpets and Alto
Saxophones. French Horns
join in thrilling
variation. A boundless
contrasting espressivo
theme soars through to
the reprise of the
initial ideas. Explore
SPACE PROBE with your
band this year.
Inspiring!
