Music
for a Noble Gathering
captures the pomp and
dignity of a regal
celebration. The
composition opens with a
percussion flourish to a
fanfare. Perform this
passage at a stately
tempo with marked
separation. A legato,
lyrical theme appears (m.
17) that contrasts the
opening passage.
Emphasize the ritard and
crescendo in m. 24 in
preparation for the
return of the opening
theme (m. 25) that
completes the A section.
Although thematically
related to the fanfare,
the B section (m. 35)
provides contrast in
tempo, key, and style.
Strive for a connected
and sustained
presentation with careful
attention to the shaping
of the phrases. Proper
balance between the
melody and countermelody
at m. 45 is paramount.
The climax in m. 53
quickly subsides but
immediately rebuilds for
a lively percussion
feature. The restatement
of the A section (m. 61)
leads to a final climax
(m. 91), a brief coda (m.
93) and a dynamic
closure. William
Harbinson is Professor
Emeritus and former Dean
of the Hayes School of
Music at Appalachian
State University. He has
received nine J.W. Pepper
Editors' Choice Awards
that identify the very
best of the new music
available. His
compositions for band
appear on
contest/festival
literature lists of
several states and are
performed worldwide.
