Reflections
Price: $40.00
Its always good to do a little self reflection on the good times and bad times you have experienced. This piece will ease the mind in a way and allows you to envision not just the reflection of the composer, but it might make you wanna take a trip to your own past. The piano in the piece is view as a pitched percussion instrument, but plays an important part in this piece as well as mallet percussion. Non pitched percussion is not the main focus, but when there are parts that play, it is important to play that part with energy! French horns play a HUGE part in this piece as they have the "main subject" of the piece. Low brass has beautiful chords through out the piece and should be played with accurate intonation. Upper woodwinds are exposed and should play with accurate pitch as well.
