Carl Fischer Northern Lights

• Composer/Author: SILVA, ALAN LEE
• Instrumentation: CONCERT BAND
• Grade/Level: 1.0
• Model # FPS60

Featuring a lovely and appropriate use of mallet percussion instruments, especially bells and other delicate members of the percussion section, Northern Lights is evocative, melodically distinguished and cleverly scored to help a young band sound its best. The contrast between the natural minor of the woodwind melody at the beginning and the grander, major mode brass theme introduced later is nicely maintained throughout this very effective piece.
