About this item
If you are looking for a powerful piece for beginning full orchestra, or one that works with full band and strings combined, look no further! The opening measures make a rousing statement as brilliant chords soar from the ensemble. Unlike many works at this level, string and band parts do not just double. Rather, strings are featured in several sections before the music moves into a final series of heroic and triumphant chords. Outstanding and unique!
