Concert Band Concert Band - Grade 2.5 SKU: FJ.B1715S
Score Only. Composed by Brian Balmages. Concert Band. FJH Young Band. Score. Duration 4:20. The FJH Music Company Inc #98-B1715S. Published by The FJH Music Company Inc (FJ.B1715S). English.
Inspired by the ambiguous 1922 artwork by Swiss-German painter Paul Klee, this dark music depicts a struggle between nature and machine. A haunting melody slowly transforms as the machine around it grows (represented by a series of layered percussion sounds). A deeply rich and powerful work for young bands that invites many opportunities for cross-curricular discussion.
About FJH Young Band
Appropriate for middle school and smaller high school groups. Second clarinets usually stay below the break. Parts are written with more independence, and instrumentation increases slightly. There is still adequate doubling in the lower voices. Grades 2 - 2.5
