Childhood Hymn - Concert Band

Level 2. Slow and expressive playing is difficult. Controlling pitches, dynamics, phrasing, and stylistic integrity at a lingering pace - and doing it well - is the true mark of the excellent ensemble. With this in mind, "A Childhood Hymn" is guaranteed to streeeeeeetch your players! In the short composition, young musicians will be confronted by intense sustained passages, rubato, accidentals, modulation, a wide range of dynamics, and something so incredible as to actually peel the paint from the Walls of Tradition - absolutely no snare drum has been included!
