Garrett Hope, BOREAS
For Wind Band
Duration: 5:02
BOREAS is a thrilling piece for grade 3 concert band with 3 against 2 rhythms, strong horn and low brass lines, and detailed percussion parts. The music opens with loud dark blasts similar to a foghorn. These blasts warn of the coming weather—storms, fog, and cold. The opening section introduces the listener to a swirling restless motive that returns in the calmer internal section. The horns and trombones introduce the listener to Boreas‘ powerful and strong temperament, which drives the music along to its exciting conclusion.
