Colliding Visions Brian Balmages

Lyrical melodies meet powerful fanfares in this emotionally-charged work that tells the true story of a world premiere and a band program's final performance. Sweeping harmonies push the threshold of the typical young band sound before the music charges forward in spirit and excitement. A final section slowly moves toward silence, leaving the audience in wonderment as to what will lie in the future. Mature sounds for young bands!
