This intriguing three-movement work offers interesting contrasts and a level of sophistication not often found at this level, while remaining amazingly playable. Different sections of the band converse musically in the first movement "The Spoken-Dialogues." The second movement, "Whispers" opens with a unique tonal effect as band members whisper vocals over a piano accompaniment. As the band joins in, their gentle, lyrical lines create an intimate moment. The piece comes to a rousing conclusion as the third movement, "Voices Of Song" celebrates the human voice in song. This is a fine choice for honor bands, festivals, or any concert program!
