MESSAGGIO is by Zdeněk Lukáš (1928-2007). Intricacies of metric combinations on several planes is combined with a feeling of instrumental tonal colors and a rich sense of melodic invention. Commissioned by a 15-member consortium of USA university Wind ensembles for the 9th International WASBE Conference at San Luis Obispo, CA on July 5, 1999 and premiered under the baton of Dr. Larry Sutherland. “Messaggio” has the promise to become an epic of grandeur beside the composer’s “Musica Boema.” A diamond of a work! Concert Band. Score. Grade: 6 Duration: 10:00
