American Visions

Composed to embody the sense of American vigor and patriotism, this fast-paced and energetic fanfare features rousing brass, lively woodwind motives, and driving percussion. Using a simple motive that alternates between duple and triplet rhythms, this is a great selection to use for teaching the difference between the two. A contrasting middle section can be used for developing warm sounds, while a recap of the initial material with a new countermelody can be used for balance and blend development.
