The 7th grade band did a little recording as well. Here we have the finale of Overture Espanol. We hope you enjoy and that we will see you on May 6 for our full concert!
Today in class I asked 7th graders to come up tweets to say something about our next concert (which is only 2 weeks away!). All of their comments had to be 140 characters or less. Here are a few!
One of the pieces the 7th grade band will be playing this term is "Overture Espanol" by John Higgins. This work contains a number of Spanish chords, instruments, and styles in a modern overture style for middle school concert band. As a way to introduce yourself to the style of the piece, watch a performance by the Banda Sinfonica de Miguelturra from Miguelturra, Spain. What Spanish-influenced sounds do you hear? |
