Fanfare and Festival Celebration

Title: Fanfare and Festival Celebration
Level: 3
Composer/Arranger: David Shaffer
Publisher: C. L. Barnhouse, Co.
Classification: 20th Century
Instrumentation: Full
Source: Poppler's Music Store - score and recording
General Comments: Fanfare and Festival Celebration is an energetic piece that would be a good choice for a concert opener. Among other things, it features a trumpet and a flute solo in the slow section. The simplicity of the piece is hidden by the high energy and varied dynamic levels found throughout the music. Clarity and phrasing are the key issues that Shaffer's music presents. Long, flowing lines in the slow section and short, articulate themes in the fast sections provide students with a wide range of techniques to perfect.
