MusicWorks – Grade 5
Commissioned by the 2004 Jefferson County Honor Band, Denver, CO, and drawing musical inspiration from the awe-inspiring surrounding mountain peaks, this major work from Richard Saucedo explores a wealth of colors and emotions possible with today's windorchestra. At times sensitive and delicate with soloistic passages, and alternately incessantly rhythmic and powerful, this composition display s complete command of the idiom and a creative sense of harmony and form. The scoring includes an important part for piano as well as expanded parts for mallet percussion. (5:50)
