Commi
ssioned by the Midway
High School Band, NC
Joshua Tew and Jesse
Shelton, Directors
Commission funded by the
Simple Gifts Grant Fund
(Clinton, NC) In memory
of Deborah Tew, mother of
Joshua Tew This
composition is a great
concert opener or
festival selection for a
young band. Beginning
with a joyful motive and
lots of featured
percussion, it uses
sudden dynamic changes
and a dark middle section
to create plenty of
contrast and excitement.
The ending begins very
softly, building to a
tension filled climax
that eventually returns
to the joyful motive from
the beginning of the
piece. Lots of fun for
the musicians and the
audience! Be sure to keep
the tempo moving
throughout--don't let it
slow down or it will lose
energy, especially in the
soft sections. Keep
articulations crisp and
let the horns wail
(doubles in altos). Make
sure your percussionists
observe the marked
dynamics and do not cover
the winds. Otherwise,
this piece is very
accessible, with
reasonable ranges and
rhythmic challenges. It
may take a minute or two
to balance the dark
chords in the middle
section, but it will be
well worth it for the
contrast. Have
fun!.
