Lanterns In The
Sky is a concert/festival
work for young band
inspired by a hot air
balloon ride. The work
begins with an explosion
of energy and sound that
is sure to command
attention. The energy
subsides, and builds
again to a forceful
statement as we begin our
glorious flight. The
music then takes on a
soaring quality that
gives the effect of
floating on air. A
beautifully expressive
middle section invokes
imagery of the incredible
views and gentle breezes.
The opening theme then
returns bringing the
piece and our journey to
a forceful conclusion.
Contrasting styles and
changing textures provide
many teaching
opportunities, making
this suitable for
festival use.
Don’t miss this
outstanding addition to
the young band
repertoire!
