Expeditiousxa0begins with fanfare-like harmonies, making this beginning band piece sound unexpectedly advanced. Composer John Pasternak utilizes accessible notes and rhythms in this well-crafted piece for the youngest players while still creating a rich musical experience. Pasternak is fast becoming a go to composer for intriguing works for young bands.
Expeditious focuses on contrast in articulations. The beginning of the piece focuses on a marcato/accented style, and the notes should be given full value. At m. 11, the piece switches focus to a staccato articulation style. Pickups into m. 26 should have a large dynamic contrast. The style at m. 41 should have a more legato feel. Measure 45 returns to a staccato feel. Measure 47 will then switch back to the prior legato style. The dynamic change at m. 52 should be instant. Measure 70 should also have an instant dynamic change. The piece ends with the marcato/accented style from the beginning of the piece.
