Grade 3 SKU: CL.012-3415-01
Composed by Shaffer. Concert Band. Heritage of the March Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR335). Extra full score. Composed 2005. Duration 5 minutes, 26 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-3415-01. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-3415-01). Not hard, but very impressive, this David Shaffer original is perfect concert or contest material for mid-level bands. It starts with a stately fanfare introduction which leads directly into the furious section. This section features a fast tempo where several playable yet independent melody lines are intertwined to create a very busy yet pleasing musical landscape. An adagio section follows before a reprise of the furious section leads to a big finish. A rewarding work that is a welcome addition to any performance!
