Red Prelude—Kevin Clary. Red Prelude was
composed to be performed on a beginner band's
first concert. The composer's overarching goal was
1) to create a piece that is accessible for students
that have been playing for less than a year, but that
still sounds sophisticated and mature and 2) to
introduce students to minor mode in a context that
is slightly more restrained and reflective than many
pieces written for their age group.
