Description:
James Curnow's impressive compositional style resounds in this tribute to the heroic deeds of so many citizens of Sioux City, Iowa upon the tragic crash of United Airlines Flight 232 in 1989. This will be the landmark piece of the year for your solid grade 3 band. A bold fanfare opening soon warms with the stately clarinets. Subtle reflection on the fanfare statement permeates the development of the piece, keeping the city's heroism and self-sacrifice in mind as the piece traverses its many moods. James Curnow's skillful orchestration allows the director endless opportunities to take the band's level of performance to higher levels.
Difficulty: 3
