Twittering Machine by Brian Balmages (FJH)
Grade 2.5
Publisher: FJH Music Company
Inspired by the ambiguous 1922 artwork by Swiss-German painter Paul Klee, this dark music depicts a struggle between nature and machine. A haunting melody slowly transforms as the machine around it grows (represented by a series of layered percussion sounds). A deeply rich and powerful work for young bands that invites many opportunities for cross-curricular discussion.
Waltz (La plus que Lente) Debussy, Arr. by Matthew Moreno, Grade 4
This arrangement embodies the full sound and spirit of the original overture, yet is orchestrated in a way that takes full advantage of the string orchestra sonic palette. A fabulous choice as an opener, closer, or celebratory work for any special occasion! (4:00)
