6/20/2020 15:49:36AlarmCloserPlaying with a consistent staccato articulation may be challenging.Will need a strong low brass section to carry the melodic ostinatos in the beginning.

6/20/2020 15:49:45AlarmOpener
I didn't hear too much woodwind here. Maybe a good piece if you have a woodwind heavy piece elsewhere in the concert.
Good for a brass section looking for something to sink their teeth into. Good piece to keep percussion busy with. Lots of percussion throughout. and timpani features.Nice and loud piece. Sounds fun7Maag, Edward
47
6/20/2020 15:49:45AlarmCloserA lot of repeating staccato 8th notes in some of the WW parts. The group must be able to play well as an ensemble.Not enough time to answerGreat piece if you have a lot of percussionists!Overall, sounds much harder than it actually is.8Poss, Rachel
48
6/20/2020 15:49:48AlarmContest, CloserNice moments to showcase syncopations. Nice opportunities for more aggressive playing in the section. Some really interesting horn riffs against the trumpet lines are great to build independence. Use of the brake drum and other things, Note length would be an important concept to cover with this piece, as parts and rhythms and phrases are phrased back and forth. 8Campopiano, Shawn
49
6/20/2020 15:49:56AlarmSolo/Soli FeatureThe woodwinds do not have too many technical challenges
The low brass is very prominent. It may be hard to play in tune while playing that quickly for more inexperienced players. Muted high brass will bring intonation issues.
The percussion ostinato is incredibly important in terms of time. If the ostinato is not in time, the winds will not be able to play in time.A lot of tutti music which gives the ensemble lots of vertical alignment work.4Baker, Michael
