RHYTHMATA (FJH Young Band) - Morales, Erik

Spectacular! Rhythm becomes the focus of this work from the opening measures as a large battery of percussion sets the stage for the invigorating opening lines in the winds. Some solo opportunities are offered for your flute, trumpet, and euphonium, supported by rhythmic ostinato figures in the upper woodwinds. Orchestration, texture, and ever changing timbres add to this work's strong rhythmic drive, making this one piece you will never forget!
