Steel - Randall Standridge, Concert Band, Grade 3

Musical excitement abounds in this compelling work. This energetic concert opener features electrifying percussion writing, great use of syncopation and motivic development. It strikes the perfect mix of variety and repetition, and is undeniable in its melodic and rhythmic allure. Sure to be a favorite of bands and audiences alike!
