"Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."

Composer: David R. Holsinger
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: Concert Band
Level: 4.5

David R. Holsinger returns to the band world with this first major composition written since his 2015 stroke. Commissioned to pay homage to Phi Beta Mu Band Fraternity, it contains all those Holsinger compositional fingerprints we enjoy playing.

The plaintive opening prelude, the poly-chordal texture, followed by the robust presto we expect from this composer. Vigorous asymmetrical melodies, jubilant rhythms, fluctuating accents, poly-lineal textures, multi-layered, and electrifying excitement to the end!
