In Motion Christopher Artau

Energetic and ever-evolving, In Motion by Christopher Artau is a compelling Grade 3.5 work for concert band that lives up to its name. Alternating between driving rhythms and soaring lyricism, the piece features woodwind ostinatos, bold brass fanfares, and rhythmic mallet percussion beneath expressive lines. A lyrical solo bassoon introduces the main theme, which recurs as a musical anchor throughout. With its classic overture form and vibrant scoring, In Motion is a thrilling choice for concert or festival performance.
