A fanfare-like piece that makes even the youngest of players sound far more advanced than they are. The technical demands are very limited, but the music is bold and exciting for the players and audience alike. Another winner from Larry Clark!.
As the title implies, this piece is intended to sound huge, even though it is written for the youngest of students. The piece is set in a fanfare style with strong open intervals, but the technical demands have been limited for the beginning players. Some tension chords with dissonant notes are used to add to the drama of the piece. It is always my intention to write music for the young players that is within their grasp technically, but still is sophisticated musically. After the fanfare-like Atheme, the B theme should be in a contrasting legato style. All accented notes should be played with more length, weight and emphasis rather than playing them harder and shorter.It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this piece. I hope you and your students enjoy it and find it useful for your program.-LARRY CLARKLakeland, FL 2013.
