Inspired by the life-giving forces of Mother Nature in Spring, the composer here displays his lyrical heart in a gorgeous new band work. In addition to the engaging, lightly syncopated melodies, interesting harmonies, and masterful blends of wind and percussion sounds, this work also brings the sounds of nature to the concert band palette with the use of "thunder rolls" in the bass drum and snapping fingers imitating the sounds of rain. This evocative, impressionistic work for concert band will surely inspire an emotional performance from your students!
