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

John Moss brings us this exquisite musical panorama that celebrates life with its many moods and emotions. His command of the symphonic language and his unique talent to create musical atmospheres is apparent in this dramatic setting for the concert or festival stage.

Symphonic Celebration and Dance

A composition student of the late J. Clifton Williams, Robert Foster composed this work for symphonic band as a tribute to Mr. Williams. The work begins with a statement of the primary theme as a fanfare. The theme recurs later in the work in the form of a chorale, and returns even later in the energetic and rhythmic dance section. A recapitulation of the chorale follows, and the work concludes with a brilliant fanfare. This is a unique musical work and an ideal contest selection.
