Masquerade Variations

Description

A popular rental work for wind ensemble, Masquerade is now available for purchase in a full score edition that is perfect for study. This composition, written in 1997 and commissioned by the New Mexico Wind Symphony, is based on the second piece from Fugitive Visions, a work that is comprised of 20 short piano pieces written by the young Sergei Prokofiev in 1915-17. Gryc, intrigued by the contrasting elements and moods in this short piece, expands upon Prokofiev’s original theme and creates a truly dynamic work that include five variations in various musical styles.
