Eagles Among Us by Balmages (FJH)
Eagles Among Us by Brian Balmages
Grade 2
Publisher: FJH Music Company
This powerful overture with cinematic overtones is designed to be playable by band alone, yet offers the option of band and strings combined. Depicting the vision of the world from the eyes of an eagle while in flight, the music includes dramatic fanfares juxtaposed with moments of lyricism that range from calming to soaring. An inspiring and accessible work with multiple performance options!
Following the slow introduction, Beethoven's first symphony breaks into a lively and energetic Allegro, carrying listeners through a whirlwind of harmonies and keys. This arrangement authentically captures the lyricism and raw power of a masterpiece written by a young 29-year-old Beethoven. (4:00)
The vivid imagery of "little critters" scurrying about at night inspires the melodic lines and creative harmonies used throughout this programmatic work. Beginning soft and mischievous, the music builds as new critters join the fun in a playful dialogue. The harmonic language moves between moments of pleasant consonance and slight dissonance (because as we all know, some people love little critters and some people are terrified of them!). A highly imaginative, playable work! (Grade 1, Dur 2:15)
