Level 2 compositions are written so that your second year band can play them. As with all of our compositions, we try to challenge each section of the band to keep them interested. We particularly make it a point to challenge the percussion section and the lower brass.
#10023 | 11th Hour / 65.00 11th Hour Live
Intensity! This modal concert festival piece features a huge ensemble section in Dorian mode with an interlude featuring solos by the piccolo, 1st flute, 2nd flute, clarinet, bassoon and horn in Phrygian mode. As with most of Bob Turner’s pieces there is a large percussion section and they play often. The mallet part is written for marimba but can also be played by the xylophone. Some ranges might require a level 4 ensemble but it should be able to be played by a good level 3 band.
