Dedicated to the child victims of the horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14th, 2012, this tone poem attempts to inspire peace through introspection. A gentle lilting melody, slowly growing in intensity, depicts the ascension of 20 Tiny Angels. The 7/4 time signature and modal harmony gives an impression of otherworldliness on which the melody floats. This piece features an improvised solo section supported by true modal harmony, creating a beautiful complexity of colors and shades. This approach creates an ideal musical canvas on which the intermediate/ advanced improvisor can demonstrate their command of both the Greek modes and modes of Melodic Minor. The piece is technically accessible, but requires a thorough concept of musical pulse. The odd time signature, coupled with some syncopation, will make this chart a challenge for less experienced musicians.
This series was commissioned specifically to provide quality steel band music for beginning steel bands. The six pieces in this collection represent a variety of styles, composers and difficulty and can serve as an entire semester’s repertoire.
This piece is simply constructed from two contrasting sections, and the central structure allows plenty of room for exploration by a featured improviser.
