Atlas
Publisher Desc.
ATLAS for Concert Band is an original composition by Michael Andrew
Newell (ASCAP). This piece was inspired by the book "Atlas
Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. ATLAS is medium-advanced difficulty and scored
for standard concert band instrumentation -- the music itself is highly
cinematic in feel and texture. In Greek mythology, Atlas was charged to hold
up the heavens on his shoulders and served as the axis point in which all
celestial bodies could revolve. Paralleled in Rand's book, Atlas served as
the "motor of the world" and kept humankind progressing toward the
next challenge, which is represented by the persistent use of percussive
groove to drive the music forward.
