A band accompaniment for the woodwind solo based on the piano accompaniment found in the solo/piano version. It comes with four woodwind solo lines as well as a full band set. The piece’s counterpoint features the combination of both themes of the tune at the same time.
Scored for the woodwind section of a concert band arrangement, this Easter celebration is presented with strong traditional thematic statements, all the while being surrounded by exuberant obligati features.
Three Plus Flutes for three soprano with opt. 4th/ob. with alto and bass. An opening with an active top voice giving over to the lower voices doing the same. Then in block harmonic movement the pieces moves along with subtle harmonic shifts. The middle section continues in much the same fashion with dynamic shifts. The next area is the same fashion only this time with the lower voices carrying the activity and the upper voice in more solemn movement. The final section is more active with the top voice using material from the introduction and slows to repose.
