Symphonic Band 1 students:
Below is the link to the recording of Steve Barton's "For the New Day Arisen", our fanfare this year for the Large Group Performance Evaluations in March. Please listen to the recording and follow along with your music. Listen to how your part fits in with the whole, pay special attention to whether you have the melody, countermelody, or rhythmic accompaniment. What makes your part unique? Who is most important, and when? We will be discussing these important questions in class.

What message is the composer sending to the listener, and what can we do to create this as an ensemble? We will be discussing these important questions in class.
