Earth and Sky SWEENEY MICHAEL

Musique pour orchestres et ensembles

Description :

The Native American Omaha Tribe believed in an inseparable Union between earth and sky. Commissioned for the Nebraska All-State 8th Grade Band, Michael Sweeneys Earth and Sky celebrates this ideal with a balance of woodwind motifs and delicate textures (sky) contrasted with an underlying percussion ostinato and feature spots (earth). Rich chordal accompaniments and soaring melodies provide continuity and fl'on in this dynamic work for band. Durée: 6: 15
