Beschreibung
Excursion is defined in the dictionary as 1) A Short journey made for pleasure, 2) A group taking a short pleasure trip together and 3) in Physics, a movement from and back to a position or axis in an alternating motion. This contemporary piece for woodwind ensemble employs the use of fast, energetic themes and slower, more lyrical sections to take the listener on a musical journey.
This piece was originally written for 12 parts, but at the request of several ensembles, an optional oboe and English horn part have been added. They are not required, and the demo recording featured here does not include them. An E-flat contra alto clarinet part has been included as well for ensembles who do not have a contrabass.
(The download of this piece includes the score and all parts. The purchaser or organization who purchases this music may perform it publicly, and photocopy parts as needed for their performance. Please do not distribute to other parties.)
