Embolden?is a dramatic work for the developing ensemble that embodies the definition of the word: to give someone courage or confidence. The piece begins with a melody of long, broad strokes. As the melody develops, lots of imitation encourages each section to play independent lines. The piece is a strong choice for the developing band's concert or festival performance.
Embolden is a dramatic work for the developing ensemble that embodies the definition of the word: to give someone courage or confidence. The piece starts with a melody with long, broad strokes. There is plenty of imitation as well to encourage independence of lines. After some development, the piece moves to a contrasting softer section at m. 32. Bring a more legato approach to this section. The broad melody returns at m. 54 in the lower voices with some rhythmic accompaniment by the upper voices. A powerful presentation at m. 61 provides the momentum for a decisive ending.
