An interesting piece for a
This piece would be played best by an advanced middle school or beginning high school ensemble. The first part of the piece is in a fast 5/4, followed by a slow melodic part in 4/4. The main theme is repeated after the slow section until the end of the piece, with minor variations, until the fairly climactic ending. All of the high winds share similar parts, as do the high brass and bass instruments. Melodic content is traded back and forth between the instruments in each group to keep the piece interesting. Every instrument has a moving part at some point, and the style of the piece makes it fun and challenging at the same time. I recommend that the faster 5/4 sections be conducted in 10/8 (3+3+2+2), as it makes more sense with the way the melody and bass lines are accented.
