Farewell at Dawn (Grade 0.5) - Concert Band
Publisher description:
As its title suggests, "Farewell at Dawn" is a musical expression of bidding farewell to the night and beginning a new day. The piece opens softly with a gentle motive that evolves through simple, yet expressive material. A short quasi-canon provides a transition for a climax that resolves peacefully using the original musical motive. This is a piece with a mature, lyrical sound that can be performed by the youngest of bands.
New Music Review in The Instrumentalist February 2016:
This gentle, full-sounding piece is intended as a musical expression of bidding farewell to the night and the emergence of a new day. With simple, engaging lines for each instrument, this lyrical composition includes effective dynamic contrasts, an emotional climax, and a soft, beautiful ending. -M.H.
