Score and Parts Concert Band (Score & Parts) - Grade 3
SKU: HL.4004590
Composed by Robert Buckley. MusicWorks Grade 3. Festival. Softcover. Hal Leonard #4004590. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.4004590).UPC: 888680099404. 9.0x12.0x0.877 inches.
Walking to the Sky takes an epic, cinematic approach to celebrate humankind's collective quest for wisdom and transcendence. It was inspired by a 100-foot Jonathan Borofsky sculpture, which creates the illusion of a group of people walking skyward into infinity. With pulsing percussion, heroic brass, haunting melodies, sudden shifts in dynamics and dramatic key changes, everyone in the ensemble gets a chance to star in this exciting mini-movie score. To add even more grandeur, there is an optional choir part (that could be played on a synthesizer). Dur: 3:45.

Versatile with Optional Choir
This Robert Buckley piece offers a wonderful opportunity for band and choir collaboration. As a vocal coach, the optional choir part adds significant grandeur and provides excellent material for developing blend and diction within a larger ensemble context. The band's texture is rich and supportive, providing a strong foundation for the voices, whether live or with the synthesizer option. A valuable addition to any festival repertoire.

A reliable choice for an engaging program opener or closer.
