Not hard, but
very impressive, this
David Shaffer original is
perfect concert or
contest material for
mid-level bands. It
starts with a stately
fanfare introduction
which leads directly into
the furious section. This
section features a fast
tempo where several
playable yet independent
melody lines are
intertwined to create a
very busy yet pleasing
musical landscape. An
adagio section follows
before a reprise of the
furious section leads to
a big finish. A rewarding
work that is a welcome
addition to any
performance!
