Festivity - Concert Band
Item number 8897554CC, $64.00

The majestic melody that forms the basis of this work is known as the Welsh tune "Hyfrydol". Dating from early 19th century England, this melody has been arranged by Stephen Bulla into a superb concert piece, which is sure to be enjoyed by all

Estimated Performance Time: 3:40

Technical Notes: Focus the opening measures on bright, marcato articulations from high Woodwinds and trumpet 1. The answering usison line from horns and trombone 1 should maintain the intensity with their fanfare-like counterpoint.

The presentation of the tune by clarinets at measure 11 should be rich, full, and well sustained. At measure 36, the upper woodwind and trumpet sections will want to play with careful rhythmic accuracy and balance on this two-part writing.

The section at measure 76 provides a few moments of softer scoring and allows for some expressive tone production from flutes, clarinets, and horn 1. Keep the muted trumpets subdued here.

The final fanfare figures from the brass (measures 93-96) provide a dynamic closing to the work. Pace the crescendo well through these measures, leading up to the fp in the Molto rallentando bar. The second beat of the last measure can be delayed ad lib.

Composer(s): This piece was composed by Stephen Bulla.

Publisher: This piece was published by Curnow Music Press.

Series: This piece is part of the series "Curnow Accolade Series".
