Miracle on Prince Street

Gary P. Gilroy

Grade 6

Concert Band Score and Parts

This spectacular tour de force was composed for the Wind Symphony of Clovis (California) for their performance at The Midwest Clinic in 2018. The work was written in memory of the composer's mother and was inspired by one of her many charitable deeds: this one taking place on Christmas Eve. The resplendent writing includes unpredictable changes of style that range from solemn hymn statements to careening passages of wild abandon and humor as well as stylistic references to the polka music the composer heard as a child. All of this is topped by virtuosic solo and section writing that challenges every performer. A remarkable work for upper-level bands.
