Call Of The Prairie - Lisa Galvin

"Call of the Prairie" depicts both the grandeur and turmoil of the Midwest and its indigenous forebearers. The serene opening transitions into a decisive and spirited rhythmic ostinato, until a haunting flute solo offers a mournful soliloquy. The rhythmic energy returns in grand fashion for a powerful finish. Your ensemble can also use this piece for cross-curricular study with the accompanying historical program notes. A first-rate programmatic work for mid-level bands; certain to be a concert favorite. Exceptional music!
