Brenda’s beautiful, original work begins with a dynamic and expressive introduction leading to a lovely and haunting melody supported by rich harmonies which include many 2nds. Excitement builds with melody on chimes, addition of LV lines and low bass foundation moving to an Allegro section featuring malleted rhythmic accompaniment, shakes, mart-lifts leading to the dynamic and very exciting ending. This is a wonderful work for your group to explore their full range of expression and musicianship.
