Composed by Claude T. Smith. Concert Band. Score and set of parts. Composed 1972. Claude T. Smith Publications #CTS-7716-00. Published by Claude T. Smith Publications (CL.CTS-7716-00). A quiet prelude begins this composition for three flutes and vibes accompanying the melody for alto sax. This melody is the basic building blocks for Prelude-Variations. An Allegro Vivo follows with variations on the original tune. The piece ends with original alto sax melody brought back with a harmonic ostinato in the brass and a captivating percussion pattern. The piece ends with the horns announcing the motive one last time. Be sure to put the horn bells up as they play the trill announcing a terrific climactic ending. An enjoyable challenge for your band!
