Concert band - Grade 2 SKU: CL.011-4279-01
Composed by Romeyn. Young Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (items CL.WFR383 & CL.WFR387). Extra full score. Composed 2014. Duration 3 minutes, 11 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #011-4279-01. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-4279-01). Beautiful and heartfelt, As Shadows Fall is an outstanding lyrical work for young band. A beautiful and memorable melody is first introduced by the flute and gradually grows amid changing textures and harmonies ultimately leading to a soaring and dramatic final climax. The music then ends as it began, with a gentle breeze, quietly fading away amid the setting sun. The many opportunities for lyrical performance technique and expressive qualities make this a superlative choice for concert or festival use. A valuable addition to the young band repertoire.
