MANHATTAN BEACH MUSIC
Raising the Standards of the American Concert Band and BANDS all Over the WORLD
Exclusive Australian Distribution by Future Music
This is music for a pageant, with its up- ward-reaching grand melody (there are not many melodies that rise in disjunct motion and fall likewise—it's quite special). A heartbeat rhythm propels the work as much as the beautiful harmonic treatment and unexpected B-theme excursions. An assured ending, heart- beat underscored by a long pedal, for a climax of great affect.
