Ancient Visions, Roland Barrett - Blasorchester
Concert & Festival Selections
After a brief lyrical introduction, Roland Barrett begins a rhythmic ostinato that sets the stage for the heroic statements made by the brass. Open 5ths become very effective in the simple contrapuntal writing that adds to the overall energy. Brief solo trumpet is used in the lyrical middle section before a climax presented by full band. The final section brings back material from the opening with a key change that adds even more intensity to the exciting conclusion. An easy, yet effective contest or festival work.
The magic of this piece is found in the way the composer creates suspense in building up to the powerful main theme employing short, energetic motives that yield to a rhythmic ostinato, eventually laying the ground work to support accentuated long tones in the brasses. Besides offering nice opportunities to work on intonation and stylistic contrast, it's a lot of fun to conduct.
