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

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.
