Hail the Power Medley (3 tunes of All Hail the Power)

A vigorous piece that begins with extraneous thematic material that goes through various transformations that eventually breaks open to the theme of the title. An exciting brass ensemble that’s certain to please an audience of various venues.

Scored for various mallet instruments as well as general percussion. The piece begins with tutti percusion overlayed with vocal narrations giving a dramatic effect. The piece then explodes with a mallet ostinato and then joined with tutti mallets on the theme. Next, after a ritardando, the mallets present a calm thematic rendition supported by gentle effects of the other percussion. It builds to a strong climax and the ostinato returns with the theme to follow. The final section uses imitative devices with the general percussion becoming more active. Until it all leads up to a stirring conclusion.
