Composed by Michael Oare. MusicWorks Grade 3. Contest, Festival. Softcover. Duration 360 seconds. Hal Leonard #4006268. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.4006268).ISBN 9781540069733. UPC: 888680976392. 9.0x12.0x0.722 inches.
In this dynamic and creative work, Michael Oare features a "juxtaposition" of various modes of "F" (major, mixolydian, and minor) as layers of sound are created with various textures and styles. A constant pulse center throughout serves as a unifying element, as the effect is at times unsettling, and other times simply powerful.

Skillful Textural Layering for Concert Band
Oare's 'Juxtaposition' is a masterclass in ensemble texture. The interplay of F modes creates distinct layers and styles, all unified by a 'constant pulse center.' The scoring supports each section beautifully, allowing for moments that are both 'unsettling' and 'powerful.' A sophisticated yet accessible Grade 3 work that truly shines.

A Truly Enjoyable Band Experience!
Playing Michael Oare's 'Juxtaposition' with our community band was a blast! The Grade 3 difficulty was perfectly challenging for a weekend player, making us feel accomplished. The way it moves from 'unsettling' to 'powerful' kept everyone engaged. It's a dynamic piece that sounds fantastic when played by the full ensemble, highly recommended for enjoyment.
