Composed by Sir Lunch. Contemporary. Score and parts. 68 pages. Sir Lunch #2917683. Published by Sir Lunch (A0.1024251).Ascending Everest is an exciting new work for Concert Band that endeavors to create the varying moods that I imagine would accompany such an incredible undertaking as scaling the world's tallest mountain.
The piece opens with a dramatic minor chord as the behemoth is viewed in person for the first time. It then quickly delves into the business at hand with a mixture of excitement and forboding. The middle section represents the first night's base camp, as weariness and doubt cause the climber great trepidation over what is yet to come. What if I can't do it? What if I fail? The tone begins a subtle change as renewed determination sets in, and the climax rings of victory!
This work is for Concert Band, however the standard instrumentation is not strictly adhered to. In my experience, most high school or community bands don't have anyone to play bassoon and so I elected not create such a part. Also, you will note that there is no Percussion 2. It was merged with Percussion 1. Please feel free to contact me with feedback at sirlunch@gmail.com
One last note. The mp3 is a computer generated file and begins at around the 30 sec mark.
