Rising Waters for concert band
|
Grade 1
Duration: 1:51 $50.00 The rain won't stop and time is running out! "Rising Waters" perfectly captures the feeling of extreme urgency through energetic rhythmic interplay and exciting percussion. Written for beginning band using only the first six notes, this dramatic music has plenty to teach and will keep everyone on the edge of their seat! Program Notes: Written during the Midwest flooding in the winter of 2015, Rising Waters opens with a wave-like introduction as the band begins to paint a musical picture of the relentless rains and urgency felt as the great rivers in the region approached their flood stages. A contrasting soft section briefly relieves the tension before the full band returns with a renewed intensity that builds to an exciting close. Published by RWS Music Company |
