ContinuationGrade 5 - 13:30 Min
Wind Band - Fanfare Band - The key element of this composition consists of 4 notes: Bb, B, F and D. They are always present in the whole work. Be it as a chain (transposed or normal), development in the chords, or as a reversal. These notes have a major and a diminished chord. Individually they sound trivial but together they give a tension that is felt throughout the whole work. The shape of the composition is very exciting, solo, touched and concerned (Impensierito) or simply powerful packaged as if it were a suite. The new style of writing, unlike before, provides the composer with another way to express his feeling in music. A kind of Continuation. The composition is dedicated to Marco Pütz as a thank you. He was Kleren’s teacher's in instrumentation and orchestration. HAS ALREADY BEEN PLAYED BY THE MILITARY BAND OF LUXEMBOURG, EUROPEEN UNION YOUTH WIND ORCHESTRA (COND.ucted BY JAN COBER), De Hoop Fanfare Stellendam and many others... IDEAL WORK FOR COMPETITIONS |
