Elegy SHELTON MELVIN L.

Musique pour orchestres et ensembles

Description :

for this touching and intense memoriam piece, the mechanics are où the easy side où Grade 4 but the demand for tone quality and controù in tenuto passages and long slurred phrases calls for the best où musicianship from any group. The tempo indicatioù (adagio e rubatoù invites wonderfully expressive ensemble playing - over a quiet unifying heartbeat from the timpani, the band explores the emotions felt after a tragic personal loss. A soaring horn solo (cuedin trumpet and alto sax) leads poignantly toward a gentle bells and wind chime ending.
