{"product_id":"the-hunt-for-concert-band","title":"The Hunt — for Concert Band","description":"\u003cp\u003eTchaikovsky composed his twelve character pieces for piano, \u003ci\u003eThe Seasons\u003c\/i\u003e, while he was writing his popular ballet, \u003ci\u003eSwan Lake\u003c\/i\u003e. Each piece in \u003ci\u003eThe Seasons\u003c\/i\u003e depicts a different month of the year in Russia. The original publication of \u003ci\u003eSeptember: The Hunt\u003c\/i\u003e included an epigraph at the start of the piece-a small poem by Alexander Pushkin. This energetic arrangement for symphonic band by Nathan Jones opens with an octave fanfare between the winds and brass. Tchaikovsky's colorful harmony speaks here, with passing chromaticism adding color to the music. The fanfare theme is transformed in the quiet central section, still shifting to the minor mode with short solo passages for flute, bassoon, trumpet, xylophone and oboe (cued in flutes). The segue back into the opening fanfare is clever, with the notes leading through several keys before concluding in the major with a short reprise of the initial theme.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Music Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53484150292798,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/1396\/9982\/files\/00820179-wl.jpg?v=1778715490","url":"https:\/\/themusiciansclub.net\/products\/the-hunt-for-concert-band","provider":"The Musicians Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
