Concert Band Score & Parts

<p>When all optimism and confidence is crushed by an unforeseeable obstacle that breeds self-doubt and hopelessness, it may seem like there is no end in sight. Intended for High School bands, this emotional piece challenges the players to become a unified force of beauty as the tempo abruptly drops and then slowly rises, telling the inspirational story of how the composer overcame his struggles with autism and realized that the end of the hardship was truly the beginning of something far greater. Whether it’s an aptly titled opener or a delightfully ironic conclusion, “The Beginning” is sure to captivate any audience while providing an excellent growth opportunity for bands that struggle to be cohesive with tempo and tone.</p>

The Beginning

Determination and excitement push through the struggle, but as things start to slow down and you pause for self-reflection, overwhelming doubt lurks around the corner like a terrible beast, ready to pounce! Rise above the turmoil with fun, fast, syncopated rhythms that challenge the players to watch carefully as they work together to tell an exciting story of persistence and perseverance.

The Encore

Unforeseeable delays, unending in their numbers, crush all aspirations as they make any goal seem unattainable. A perfect centerpiece for any concert, "The Interim" forces the players to fight the temptation to rush as its slow tempo and beautiful melodies tell the story of the composer's struggles to begin publishing his music. The devastating journey to the powerful climax evinces the patience and fortitude of the composer with an emotional narrative that will have a lasting impact on the players and audience alike.
