Oxford Pointe
Sheet Music

Concert band - Grade 2.5

SKU: CL.011-2563-01AR

Composed by Ed Huckeby. Young Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR187). Extra full score. Composed 1993. Duration 5 minutes, 7 seconds. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-2563-01AR).

Features the appealing melodies, exciting rhythms, and solid scoring that you have come to expect from Ed Huckeby. After an effective Maestoso introduction, the bright Allegro really punches out the main theme. The contrasting Andante section in 3/4 has a beautiful melody first presented in the upper woodwinds and then later with the full ensemble. Huckeby's previous pieces at this grade level have been extremely well received and "Oxford Pointe" is certainly one of his nicest efforts to date.
