Praeludium and Litany

Using new music written in two old compositional forms, this powerful piece for advancing bands is an excellent choice for concert or contest. The Praeludium, or prelude section, is in the form of a chaconne. It features contrapuntal lines and a powerful chord progression. The second section is the Litany which is heard as a series of brief question and answer statements between the horns and various other instruments. A dramatic and moving piece.
