Roland Barrett: Of Wizards and Warriors

Beskrivning

Transport your audience back to medieval times in this spirited and bold new work for young band. The noble opening instantly conjures images of a world where magic and chivalry abound. As tempo picks up, the entire ensemble drives forward as layer upon layer is added. A beautiful lyrical section builds to a powerful impact before the piece moves to a final section beginning with a trumpet ostinato that alternates between 4/4 and 2/4. As layers are added in different speeds, the piece builds to a dramatic conclusion! (5:07)
