Inferno |
for Young Concert Band

dur. ca. 3-4 minutes

Inferno is an energetic dance inspired by the genre of Fire Dancing. The piece features a large set of percussionist (although there are only four percussionists required to play the work), hefty low winds/brass melody, and rhythmic clapping from the whole ensemble. This piece is perfect to build up student’s rhythmic understandings.

This work is designed to be playable for a flexible sized ensemble. While it is preferable to be performed by a large number of performers, All the parts are heavily doubled to accommodate for missing members of the ensemble.

The required percussionist are:
Timpani, Mallets 2 (Xylophone), High Drum (Snare Drum or Tenor Drum), Bass Drum.

Commissioned by Sharon Vocke, Northeast Middle School Bands, Bristol, CT as part of the 2020 ‘Young Band Composition Consortium

(This work won’t be available for performance until January 1st, 2023 due to Consortium privileges)
