Composed by Roland Barrett. Arranged by Benjamin (Benthoven) Lau. Contemporary. Brass Band. 76 pages. BenthovenMusic Publications #6306099. Published by BenthovenMusic Publications (A0.977644).Ghost Dances (Wounded Knee, 1890) for Brass Band
Originally Composed by Roland Barrett, Arranged by Benjamin Lau
Inspired by the tragic story of the Lakota Sioux massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890, Roland Barrett's original work features a soft and peaceful entry, followed by aleatoric sections with musical fragments to convey the imagery of a Sioux ghost dance, and a menacing, ferocious section with high speed and intensity to keep the audience on their toes. This brilliant and inspiring work has been adapted for brass band by BenthovenMusic. This arrangement still captures the same peaceful and free opening along with the rhythmic intensity and drive of the original but with a reduced percussion section and more brass. This is an excellent work for high school/university bands that shows strong musical capability, technicality, and endurance of the player. Dur. 5'43"
