Promo Kat + CD: Kjos - Concert Bandworks III CD 1+2

John Zdechlik has brought the magic of the band standard Chorale And Shaker Dance to an intermediate level with this new arrangement of the original. A favorite on state contest lists! (Score in concert pitch only.)

This glorious composition combines a pensive and introspective "psalm" with an energetic and celebratory finale. A spellbinding way to capture your next festival or concert performance! Musicianship Studies are included to help teach composition techniques and transformation devices.

An energetic and driving work, Fiesta! utilizes the power and color of the symphonic band in a contrasting three-part overture format. Extensive use of percussion provides excitement and enhances the strong melodic material. A contest favorite!

These selections can be performed together or separately and with band or band and chorus. Salvation Is Created exemplifies the choral literature of the Russian Orthodox Church. The chorale Awake comes from Act III of Die Meistersinger Von Nurnberg and is Wagner's hymn of thanksgiving for his God-given talent.
