Crescent Meadow

A beautiful and creative lyrical work for bands inspired by the composer’s trip to California’s Sequoia National Park, “Crescent Meadow” is an outstanding addition to the repertoire. The opening flute and clarinet solo fragments introduce a flowing melody amid varied harmonic textures, invoking vivid imagery of this beautiful meadow. A short section of contrasting style leads to a dramatic and breathtaking final statement. From there, the work subsides, ending as it began, with uncommon sensitivity. Ideal for concert or festival use, and very highly recommended!
