Wow, thank you all for your criticism, it was really useful. The ending borrows a lot from the ending of Jupiter by Holst, the rhythm nearly quotes it. Again thanks so much. (I didn't know that about slur markings, by the way, thanks for the example.)

Hey, wow, I haven't posted here in a long time. This is a new piece for wind ensemble (with percussion). It's your basic concert band fast-slow-fast format, with most of it being based an "G-Bb-C" motif. I tried to make the fast sections have a lot of movement and excitement, while keeping the slow section very straightforward and restrained. I hope you all like it. Comments appreciated! Here is a link to an MP3 version -- it does have a flaw, though, the tubular bells part is left out, and that part is critical in one place... so the result is silence for a second or two. Other than that it's a good MP3, made with a combination of GPO and other VST sounds. MP3 VERSION Flourish.MUS

Our band is not that amazing, but some of our pieces have been somewhat difficult. My favorite piece we've played was Rondo for Winds and Percussion by Edmonson.

I've been looking around this forum for the past few weeks, finally decided to actually register and post a piece. This is my first real attempt at a large concert band piece. It's called "The Last Night." I recommend using the Finale 2006 file if you can; otherwise, do the MIDI. The midi messes a few things up, though, such as for some reason omitting the snare part about 3/4 of the way through. Thanks in advance to anyone who critiques! The_Last_Night.MUS The_Last_Night.MID
