Description
SKU: CL.012-4271-00
Composed by Shaffer. Concert Band. Concert Band Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR381). Score and set of parts. Composed 2014. Duration 6 minutes, 48 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-4271-00. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-4271-00).Carolina’s Majesty captures the grace and beauty and of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Opening with a dialogue between brass section fanfares and lyrical woodwind statements the piece quickly develops into a soaring melody first heard in the woodwinds and then passed through the brass section. The slower middle section weaves the flowing melodic material between all choirs of instruments and a unique fugue inspired by the opening melodies leads us to a majestic and energetic conclusion. With emphasis on melodic development throughout the composition, this powerful composition is an excellent choice for any concert or contest setting.
