Lakota West - RHAPSODIC CELEBRATION by Robert Sheldon - 2011 Midwest Clinic Preview Concert

lakotawestbands.org Lakota West High School Symphonic Winds in West Chester, Ohio, performs "Rhapsodic Celebration" by Robert Sheldon (2011, Grade 4), Midwest Clinic Preview Concert, December 12, 2011. Greg Snyder, Director.
Guest Conductor: Dr. Russel C. Mikkelson, Ohio State University.
Rhapsodic Celebration is a multifaceted work that includes three brief connected and musical tableaus that each present their own distinct mood and style. The opening Intrada explores 6/8 time using an uplifting fanfare and rhythmical motifs. The slower Serenade provides contrast that begins with an alto saxophone solo, and then utilizes the full ensemble to create warm, rich timbres in this gentle and lyrical movement. The closing Galop is as tuneful as it is technical, providing the ensemble with an energetic and fast-paced romp to conclude this delightful piece.
