Alfred Publishing Flight Of The Condor - Williams - Concert Band - Gr. 1.5

Composer: Mark Williams
Format: Conductor Score & Parts
Instrumentation: Concert Band
Level: 1.5 (Easy)

This driving original by Mark Williams depicts the flight of the majestic condor along the rugged Pacific coast. Once common, but now endangered, this bird's lonely travels are reflected in the minor tone of this exciting work for young band. Cast in ABA form, a brief slow middle section is followed by a return to the brilliant "Allegro vivo" of the opening. Punctuated by strong horn/sax lines and syncopated percussion figures, this selection is destined to become a favourite of students and audiences.
