H
Novo LenioSamuel Hazo. This is a Samuel
Hazo's National Band Association award-winning
composition, a continuous three-movement
work that offers various styles and much to keep
your interest. Based on a school alma mater, the
sections are varied in mood yet cohesive in thematic
material. The first movement, Remembrance, is
somewhat somber in tone; the second movement
Qui Non Proficit Deficit is more dissonant; and the
final movement A New Beginning is meant to sound
full and proud.
