Boudewijn Cox: Suite: Concert Band: ScoreSuite for symphonic wind band is a rich orchestral piece that taxes the musicians to the utmost. The first part starts with a lyric melody in the French horn section to be taken over by the full orchestra ending in a kind of 'anarchistic entrada'. The second part starts with a transparently orchestrated polyphonic web slowly passing into a richly arranged wave like movement that stops suddenly leading to the third part's 'attaca' start. This third part is a fragile 'adagio con tenerezza'. The finale is extremely virtuous and feriocious. It is a musical expression of anger fear and despair. Instrumentation : Publisher : |
