Aeolian Winds (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Edmunds, John F.

In Greek mythology Aeolus was called 'god of the winds.' Legend has it he was visited by Odysseus and his crew, and that he provided for a west wind to carry them home. The E-flat major scale is fully exploited in this skilfully composed and orchestrated melody, whose brief excursions into foreign tonal centres are clearly notated with accidentals rather than new key signatures. With grateful ranges and limited technical demands throughout, dramatic impact is achieved through a variety of dynamic levels and non-harmonic tones.Duration: 2.30
