Rippling Watercolors (Flexible
Instrumentation)—Brian Balmages.
While many often underestimate the
extensive colors, harmonies, and emotional
ranges available to younger ensembles,
this stunning lyrical work sets out to
explore these very qualities and more.
While playable by middle school bands,
this is a fully expressive work that is
equally at home with mature ensembles.
Gorgeous! With this flexible arrangement,
conductors no longer need to choose
between function and texture. Ensembles
with instrumentation challenges still have
numerous options to cover all parts, yet
orchestration is elevated significantly to
be faithful to the composer's original intent.
Musicians have more opportunities to rest,
and timbre once again becomes a central
element of the work. It's the best of both
worlds: flexible and colorful! (4:00)
