Spirit of the Falcon

Richard makes full use of the sonic possibilities of the contemporary symphonic band in this exciting work. Through skillful use of layering rhythmic patterns and harmonic structures, a series of emotional and dramatic building sections is created. Short melodic solos are included for alto sax, flute, horn, and trumpet. Requires a strong percussion section (3 mallet parts) and optional parts are included for synthesizer and SATB chorus. Well worth the effort! (5:05)
