Celebration (Score & Parts) (Eighth Note Publications) David Marlatt

A dynamic work by a dynamic Canadian composer. Full of rhythmic and melodic interest, this concert band original is a fantastic addition to the repertoire. The tuneful melody is passed throughout the ensemble and even the low brass and tubas have a short section of melody. It has been scored for 4 trumpets (piccolo optional), flugel horn, 4 horns, 3 trombones, euphonium, 2 tubas and percussion. Percussion parts animate the driving rhythms and brilliant scalar writing in the winds. This is a showy sounding piece which is not all that difficult to play!
