Emerge

This moving work for young bands takes the familiar "first 6 notes" (plus concert A-flat) into challenging new territory; full of contrasting elements and opportunities for musical growth and expression. Slow & Fast, Major & Minor, Lyrical & Angular, Delicate & Intense. The composer encourages student-performers to interpret this programmatic work as they become familiar with it; offering the title as a suggested starting point for imaginative discussion.
