"Meditations" for Concert Band

This thoughtful piece explores lush and modern harmonies for young band using only the first six notes of the Bb scale. Meditation has two meanings in this work: the first being to think deeply or carefully on an idea and the second to express deep consideration for an idea or topic. Meditations moves through the same motif three times, each time incorporating a new voicing in the band to explore how the harmonies and meanings change. A minimal and gentle work, all notes should be fully sustained and all silences should be still and lingering.

I hope you and your students enjoy this piece!
