Flight of the Griffin by Brian Balmages. For concert band. FJH Concert Band. Full set (score and parts). Score only also available: B1192S. Grade 4.5. Score and set of parts. Composed 2003. Duration 7:08. Published by The FJH Music Company Inc (FJ.B1192).

This exciting new work is based on the griffin, a mythological creature native to India, having the head, legs, and wings of an eagle, and the body of a lion. Starting with open 5ths in the clarinets, slight elements of Indian music are introduced as the work builds to its opening theme. A powerful middle section combines elements of chamber playing and full ensemble. The closing section represents the actual flight of the griffin, bringing the whole piece to a dramatic ending. Strongly consider this highly energetic composition!

Inspiring

This song was very fun to play and listen to, especially the saxaphones and high voices. I'm a tuba player and i love keeping the beat for this song.
