Composed by Don Bowyer. This edition: pdf, streaming. 21st Century, Classical. 38 pages. Dolphin Don's Music School #1365927. Published by Dolphin Don's Music School (A0.1805708).
The title refers to the Four Winds of the Apocalypse. This single movement work is based entirely on a six-note synthetic scale including the notes C, D, E, G, Ab, A. Every other note of this scale is combined into two different triads, one augmented and the other suspended. The alternation of these two triads serves as the only harmonic structure for the piece.
A lone trombone begins by stating a simple idea, which is blown around the ensemble until it develops into the first theme.
The bass trombones begin an ostinato pattern that ushers in the second theme, followed almost immediately by the third theme - a twisted interpretation of the Medieval hymn, Dies Irae. The second theme is then heard again above this third theme.
General chaos rules the end of the piece, with all themes blowing across each other, sometimes in rhythmically altered ways.
Just before the end, the lone trombone tries to return to the calm that began the composition. A final strong gust from the entire ensemble puts an end to this idea, simultaneously signaling the end of the piece.
The bulk of this piece was composed in 2008 for wind ensemble. This adaptation borrows heavily from the earlier work.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global
self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular
titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
