Sound Prisms - Brian Balmages

This exciting, new fanfare combines traditional, triadic harmonies with splashes of mild and harsh dissonance, especially in the woodwind voices, in a driving 6/8 panorama of sound. The patterns and phrases are heard echoing throughout the full ensemble in an avalanche of changing timbres. The piece builds to a powerful and memorable conclusion. Premiered at the CBDNA Southern Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, 2002.
