Half Moon on the Hudson

Nearly 400 years ago (in 1609) Henry Hudson and his ship the Half Moon explored the majestic river that was later to bear his name. Half Moon on the Hudson pays tribute to this area of New York and the spirit ofexploration and adventure. A regal fanfare announces the beginning of the work followed by an energetic and rhythmic section that features various sections of the band answering one another. An emotional and chorale-like middlesection provides a calmer mood along with lush harmonizations. The brass and percussion sections herald the final segment driving to a dramatic conclusion of this rewarding work for winds. Dur: 6:30 (Includes full performance CD)
