Rondo for Winds and Percussion

Description

This challenging, dramatic work appeared relatively early among the concert band projects of Walter Hartley. It is filled with Hartleys unique approach to mid-20th century serial composition at a vigorous allegro con brio. Bold unisons, expanded harmonic clusters, and soloistic passages appear in tandem with two recognizable themes that recur in a classic rondo form. This is a quick, smart, concise look at an important time of musical creativity for the accomplished band.
