Shattering Sparks

This work depicts the overwhelming enthusiasm, joy and vitality that is prevalent in many concert bands. Following a solemn opening, the piece builds until we hear the first highly energetic theme. The middle section seeks to emphasise the close bond and the deeper values, which unify the members of the band. In the final section the energetic atmosphere of the beginning returns, leading to a strong intense conclusion. Be careful this piece is very contagious!
