And It Begins

Description

"And It Begins" is winner of the National Band Association 2016 Young Band Composition Contest. The works includes both lyrical and march sections, including a snare solo and a low-winds feature on the main melody, with generous cueing. Harmonies in the lyrical section of the piece provide an educational opportunity to expose young musicians to chord extensions. The title is derived from the composer's fond memory of beginning the journey of becoming a forever "band-kid."
