Description:
Commissioned by the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association, this major work by James Curnow honors the memory and legacy of renowned conductor and educator Harry Begian. In consideration of Dr. Begian's Armenian heritage, Nulli Secundus (“second to none”) is a suite of three variations based on the Armenian folk song Cilicia (My Homeland). Movements include: I. March Caprice (concert march in fantasy variation form), II. In Memoriam (honoring victims of the 1915-18 Armenian Genocide), and III. Finale (rapid paced set of variations). Recorded by the Michigan State University Wind Symphony. Dur: 10:00
Difficulty: 5
