Description
Steps Ahead for Concert Band Grade 2.5 – Score & Parts
by: Michael Gandolfi
Steps Ahead is a work by Michael Gandolfi which includes musical elements, intended to educate the performers about basic compositional techniques. Steps Ahead is a delightful piece with something interesting for every instrument in the ensemble. Each of its three sections addresses a kind of compositional technique – transposition tutti (a 2-part homophonic section) and developing tutti (parts of the band enter to build to a 2-part homophonic tutti). Less experienced players might enjoy the challenges of easy syncopation and musical lines constructed with larger intervals.
