Eternal
Summer is like a breath
of fresh air in the warm
heat of summer. It is a
tuneful composition from
composer Peter Terry that
exhibits all of the
elements he has already
become known for - fresh
harmonic perspectives,
driving rhythms, and
wonderful
scoring.
Eternal
Summer captures the
essence of the early
summertime, when all
things seem possible and
the days are long and
filled with promise. This
fanfare-like work gives a
young orchestra the
chance to play strong
fanfare figures with
accented and staccato
articulations as well as
longer lyrical lines,
most noticeably from mm.
23-34. Create a strong
contrast between these
articulated fanfares and
the legato slurred
passages and pay
particular attention to
the dynamics throughout
the piece. Make sure to
make the section from m.
54 to the end large and
dramatic, but save enough
energy to finish with a
real fortissimo with a
good, full tone from m.
62 on.I enjoyed writing
this piece and hope your
students will enjoy
playing these contrasting
styles and that you will
find the piece beneficial
in teaching important
musical
concepts.—Peter
