LITTLE CONCERTO is by Jan Pavel (1946-2010). Inventive canonic interplay provides direction and the development of clear melodic ideas. Elements of chromaticism provide motion and emotion. “Little Concerto” is a kaleidescopic work filled with changes of motion and meter, making it a most worthy musical tour de force. Clever composition! Perfect for a contest opener, midway in a program for spice or as a program closer. Meter alternations of 6/8 to 8/8 provide interest, variety and life to this brilliant gem and soloistic flurries have 4-part Percussion. An excursion of technical delight and musical wit! Very appealing! Concert Band. Instrument Parts. Grade: 4 Duration: 2:12
