Ritual (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Hadermann, Jan

Ritual, a work for large concert band, describes the atmosphere during a pagan ceremonial offering. The tension of the approaching ritual, softly supported by a mysterious percussion accompaniment, slowly builds and leads to an enticing dance. This precedes the height of the ritual, the pagan sacrifice. Following the sacrifice the peace seems to be restored until suddenly a surprising final turn ends Ritual.Duration: 9:30

Ritual and Capriccio

Two contrasting sections, both in tempo and style, make this an excellent teaching and performing piece. A fine example of creative writing for the young band.

Ritual and Celebration (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Moss, John

This dramatic work from John Moss opens with a haunting chant-like theme stated by the clarinets. This theme is developed using rich sonorities and a variety of textures before giving way to the exciting and rhythmic "Celebration". John skillfully weaves the original theme into this new section as it builds to a climax then winds down to a quietly effective ending. A wonderful blend of sophistication and power for younger players.
