The Winter Storm - Concert Band Grade 3

During the winter, large storms occur from time to time. These storms can be dangerous and beautiful at the same time. This piece starts off fast, dark, and furious, then moves into a lighter mood during middle sections before ending as it started. Paying close attention to all articulations and dynamics throughout the piece while maintaining the balance between winds and percussion will develop many essential musical skills. With interesting melodies, subtle dissonance, and multiple percussion parts, your journey through the winter storm will be exciting and enjoyable. Use this as a concert opener or closer and for contest use.
