Heartland Overture Concert Band - Sheet Music

Concert band - Grade 3

SKU: BY.CB-274

Composed by Diane Whitacre. Score and parts. Duration 4 minutes 29 seconds. BRS Music #CB-274. Published by BRS Music (BY.CB-274).

The first section is a 6/8 march, using a variety of rhythms, often using a duple against triple feel. The low winds echo the melody, creating a "call and answer" feel to the section, teaching the students to listen to other sections in the band and their role. The middle portion of the overture has a majestic theme introduced by a trumpet soloist. The theme is expanded and passed around the band, leading to a surprise key change. Throughout the slow section the timpani and low winds serve as a "heartbeat" with a steady ostinato. Moving eighth note arpeggios add forward movement and flow to the section. The 6/8 march returns to take the piece to a rousing close.
