| Comments: |
-
Should be approached in the grand tradition of the British
wind band
-
Opening and closing sections should be played lightly and
marchlike
-
Middle section should be played broadly and lyrically
-
Attention to articulations and dynamics are critical
-
Cut-time might prove challenging to younger band
-
Dynamics used are f, mp, p
-
Cues are to be used when necessary and at the discretion
of the director
-
Contrasts in dynamics and shaping of lines requires mature
ensemble
