Lanterns In The Sky Concert Band - Sheet Music
Lanterns In The Sky is a concert/festival work for young band inspired by a hot air balloon ride. The work begins with an explosion of energy and sound that is sure to command attention. The energy subsides, and builds again to a forceful statement as we begin our glorious flight. The music then takes on a soaring quality that gives the effect of floating on air. A beautifully expressive middle section invokes imagery of the incredible views and gentle breezes. The opening theme then returns bringing the piece and our journey to a forceful conclusion. Contrasting styles and changing textures provide many teaching opportunities, making this suitable for festival use. Don’t miss this outstanding addition to the young band repertoire!
