To the Stars (2010)
PREMIERE October 10, 2010 Canyon, TX ENSEMBLE brass ensemble, 3/4/3/1 DURATION 3.5' PROGRAM NOTES After attending an incredible hand bell concert in the summer of 2010, the use of bell tones was in the forefront of my mind. I decided to apply the technique to brass instruments. Different instruments play certain notes that join together to form one line of melody. Underneath the melody is a driving ostinato, which is later contrasted by a more lyrical line. |
