and dynamics throughout the piece while
maintaining the balance between winds
and percussion will develop many essential
musical skills. With interesting melodies,
subtle dissonance, and multiple percussion
parts, your journey through the winter storm
will be exciting and enjoyable. Use this as a
concert opener or closer and for contest use.
