Composed by Kirk Vogel. Standard of Excellence in Concert. Score. Neil A. Kjos Music Company #WB346F. Published by Neil A. Kjos Music Company (KJ.WB346F).The Summit is a programmatic piece written about a journey to the top of a mountain. Numerous visual pictures are presented regarding the journey: repeated eighth notes represent the endless walking necessary to reach the summit; the use of the minor mode to signifies fatigue; bold statements by the low brass and woodwinds indicate the beauty and grandeur that unfolds as the journey continues; and, of course, the grand finale describing the final ascent to the mountain top. A wonderful composition with varying tone colors.
