FANFARE AND PROCESSIONAL by Joel Blahník has two movements sharing the same thematic idea and pulse: “Fanfare” in common time and “Processional” in cut time. A superb teaching tool with interesting harmonic flavor providing opportunity for improving listening skills. As with Sousa, dynamics and accents are the musical elements which shape the work. A good concert opener or for use as a commencement piece. Very appealing! Concert Band. Score. Grade: 3 Duration: 2:30
