"Fanfare and Celebration" for Concert Band

Fanfare and Celebration begins with a bold and harmonically interesting fanfare to immediately catch the attention of the audience! A dance-like melody is played over an ostinato in the A section, giving way to an answering melody in the lowest voices at B. A snippet of the A melody leads to a joyous middle voice melody at C, culminating in a round of the original melody and a strong coda! This pieces uses only the first six notes of the Bb scale and the most basic rhythmic patterns.

I hope you and your students enjoy this piece!
